(nikitadanilov) see http://sourceforge.net/projects/ldoor/ It is from 2001. The doors in a lightweight and fast IPC mechanism. It seems to me better (and maybe simpler?) than Unix local sockets or others podix IPC (maybe I am wrong) in terms of overhead. My question is : It seems that the implementation of doors is not very complex in Open Solaris Is there a reason that the doors mechanism was not adopted by the linux kernel?
