Node.js - Child Processes
What does IPC stand for in Node.js context and why is it useful?
AInternet Protocol Communication; it handles network requests.
BInternal Process Control; it manages process memory usage.
CInput-Process-Cache; it speeds up data processing.
DInter-Process Communication; it allows processes to exchange messages.
Step-by-Step Solution
Solution:
Step 1: Understand IPC meaning and its use in Node.js
IPC means Inter-Process Communication, which is about processes exchanging data. In Node.js, IPC lets parent and child processes send messages to coordinate work.
Final Answer:
Inter-Process Communication; it allows processes to exchange messages. -> Option D
Quick Check:
IPC = Inter-Process Communication [OK]
Quick Trick:IPC means processes talking to each other [OK]
Common Mistakes:
Confusing IPC with network protocols
Thinking IPC manages memory or caching
Mixing up IPC with internal process controls
