Use the shared memory feature of the OS.

man shmget..

k=shmget(....) this whill create a shared memory with an identifier->k



x=shmat(k,...)
this will attach that shared memory to an identifier(char *) type.

On another process, do the same code, and the memory portion will be 
shared between process...


Hope this will help...
