title: 'interprocess: Mutexes, Semaphores, and Message Queues'
version: 1.3.0
doi: 10.32614/CRAN.package.interprocess
abstract: Provides access to low-level operating system mechanisms for performing
  atomic operations on shared data structures. Mutexes provide shared and exclusive
  locks. Semaphores act as counters. Message queues move text strings from one process
  to another. All these interprocess communication (IPC) tools can optionally block
  with or without a timeout. Implemented using the cross-platform 'boost' 'C++' library
