help with IPC + thread

Shell Programming and Scripting
1

Actually i am thinking of some usefull application that involves both IPC and pthreads.But i am not quite sure what type of application involves both these together :confused:.
Anyways i am now working on creating a simple featured file manager that can do the following:

  1. Display file name and size.
  2. Rename any particular file.(DONT KNOW THIS :confused:)
  3. Move any file to any directory
  4. copy any file to any directory
  5. Delete any particular file
  6. Display contents of any file

But i dont exactly know how to do these things :(:wall:
Most importantly can anyone suggest an application that involves both IPC and pthreads?

Renaming, you can do this with the rename() library function in stdio. You could also use the link and unlink calls.

Copying and moving are done by simply opening and writing to files.

What do you wish to use IPC for here?
