#### Live Linux UNIX domain socket, named FIFO pipe & shared memory viewer

IPC Pipe and Unix Socket Viewer is a desktop Inter-Process Communication (IPC)
inspector for Linux developers and system administrators. An independent Linux
alternative inspired by command-line PipeList, ipcs, and ss -x utilities, it
inspects live kernel tables in /proc/net/unix, /proc/sysvipc, /dev/shm, and
filesystem FIFO nodes to map active local communication channels.

Key Features:

* Live UNIX Domain Socket Table (/proc/net/unix): Displays active SOCK\_STREAM,
  SOCK\_DGRAM, and SOCK\_SEQPACKET sockets with kernel reference counts, listening
  flags, connection states, inode numbers, filesystem paths, @abstract namespace
  identifiers, and accessible owner PIDs.
* Named FIFO & Anonymous Pipe Scanner: Scans /run, /tmp, and user directories
  for POSIX named FIFO pipes (S\_ISFIFO) via lstat() and groups active pipe:[inode]
  descriptors across accessible processes.
* System V IPC & POSIX Shared Memory Inspector: Reads /proc/sysvipc/shm,
  /proc/sysvipc/sem, and /proc/sysvipc/msg alongside /dev/shm POSIX shared
  memory segments with byte sizes, attachment counts, and permissions.
* Protocol Telemetry & Export: Renders a live IPC mechanism breakdown chart and
  exports complete socket, pipe, and shared memory inventories to CSV and JSON.

## Enable snaps on Fedora and install IPC Pipe and Unix Socket Viewer

Snaps are applications packaged with all their dependencies to run on all popular Linux distributions from a single build. They update automatically and roll back gracefully.

Snaps are discoverable and installable from the [Snap Store](https://snapcraft.io/store), an app store with an audience of millions.

### Enable snapd

Snap can be installed on Fedora from the command line:

```
sudo dnf install snapd
```

Either log out and back in again, or restart your system, to ensure snap’s paths are updated correctly.

To enable *classic* snap support, enter the following to create a symbolic link between `/var/lib/snapd/snap` and `/snap`:

```
sudo ln -s /var/lib/snapd/snap /snap
```
