Can we use System IPC in Android NDK code

Question

Here I want to use System IPCs methods like

  <sys/msg.h>   /* SysV message queues */
  <sys/ipc.h>   /* General IPC definitions */

Here, my Android NDK code is in C, and I used the IPC message queue mechanism to communicate for another C application.

So, please let me know if there is a way to achieve this IPC goal? How can I implement this IPC mechanism in Android NDK code?
