Hi all,
I have a bit of a vague question about inter process communication. The setup
is a program written in Go (but that should not matter very much) that starts
one LuaTeX process as a child. Supported systems are Linux, Windows and Mac.
Now I would like to talk between the parent process (Go) and the child process
(LuaTeX) such as:
parent: "Hello child, please do this"
child: "hi parent, I have done this, here is the result"
and so on.
What is the cleanest way to do this? I used to do that over TCP sockets (talking on a
defined port on the local host), but this does not seem as the optimal solution. For
example on Windows I get a "firewall warning" that the user has to click away.
Any idea on that topic?
use sockets (socket library is present)
