### IPC Stores and Default Variables
``ipc.of``
This is where socket connection refrences will be stored when connecting to them as a client via the ``ipc.connectTo`` or ``iupc.connectToNet``.
***example***
ipc.connectTo(
'world',
function(){
ipc.of.world.on(
'message',
function(data){...}
);
}
);
| variable | definition |
|-----------|------------|
| ipc.of | This is where socket connection refrences will be stored when connecting to them as a client via the ``ipc.connectTo`` or ``iupc.connectToNet``. They will be stored based on the ID used to create them, eg : ipc.of.mySocket|
| ipc.server| This is a refrence to the server created by ``ipc.serve`` or ``ipc.serveNet``|

### Basic Examples
You can find [Advanced Examples](https://github.com/RIAEvangelist/node-ipc/tree/master/example) in the examples folder. In the examples you will find more complex demos including multi client examples.
#### Server for Unix Sockets & TCP Sockets
The server is the process keeping a socket for IPC open. Multiple sockets can connect to this server and talk to it. It can also broadcast to all clients or emit to a specific client. This is the most basic example which will work for both local Unix Sockets and local or remote network TCP Sockets.
