/**
 * The IPC Provider could be used in node.js dapps when running a local node. And it provide the most secure connection.
 *
 * @example
 * ```ts
 * const provider = new IpcProvider(
 * 		`path.ipc`,
 * 		{
 * 			writable: false,
 * 		},
 * 		{
 * 			delay: 500,
 * 			autoReconnect: true,
 * 			maxAttempts: 10,
 * 		},
 * 	);
 * ```
 *
 * The second and the third parameters are both optional. And you can for example, the second parameter could be an empty object or undefined.
 *  * @example
 * ```ts
 * const provider = new IpcProvider(
 * 		`path.ipc`,
 * 		{},
 * 		{
 * 			delay: 500,
 * 			autoReconnect: true,
 * 			maxAttempts: 10,
