Creating IPC channels using init.yaml

This section contains init descriptions that demonstrate the specific features of creating IPC channels. Examples of defining properties and arguments of processes via init descriptions are examined in a separate article.

Examples in KasperskyOS Community Edition may utilize a macro-containing init description format (init.yaml.in).

The file containing an init description is usually named init.yaml, but it can have any name.

Connecting and starting a client process and server process

In the next example, two processes will be started: one process of the Client class and one process of the Server class. The names of the processes are not specified, so they will match the names of their respective process classes. The names of the executable files are not specified either, so they will also match the names of their respective classes. The processes will be connected by an IPC channel named server_connection.

init.yaml

entities:

- name: Client

connections:

- target: Server

id: server_connection

- name: Server
