pipe is a good solution for unidirectional communication.

socketpair works for bi-directional communication. i'm using it in a forking server right now, and it works like a charm.

    agreed, but all socketpair does is create two pipes and link them to the file descriptors so it's the same. Note that this is solution in all legacy UNIX software.
