Stumped.......IPC object opening?

Greetings,
We have been asked a question "Explain IPC object
opening."
I googled out the ans and came to different objects of IPC but no
common
ans to the above question.

I mean how to open a IPC object irrespective of its type?

Can anyone help or point to some link?

Help would be appreciated.
