Inter-process communication in Lua

ipc, lua

Solution

Steve Donovan's winapi library supports IPC through named pipes, which are similar to Unix domain sockets.

Examples are available here and here.

Problem

I have two applications (both pure Lua, on Windows) and they should be able to talk to each other. I used luasocket TCP/IP module with success; but I want to know what other methods can I use to achieve this?
