Connection between 2 programs

Hi there, i'm new.

There are a way to connect 2 programs without sockets. this 2 programs run in the same machine, so is possible?

Thanks
Shelling out (with command line arguments) and using tempfiles or shared memory (often in conjunction with signals) are possibilities.

Pipes are another option; though the idea originated in Unix, it is also available on many other operating systems (Linux, Windows etc.)
