Unix Domain Sockets are common to both Mac and Linux. These have been used for many years very successfully on both platforms. Apple used to have a pretty good sample app that makes use of them - may still have, but a search just now doesn’t show it. Perhaps Quinn might have info on its current availability.
The only “problem” with Unix Domain Sockets is that they are one-to-one. As with all socket connections, the first reader gets the packet. If you need something that multiple readers can get, then something else is needed. Otherwise, this is a very good solution to IPC.
