Client IPC API.
- Overview
- libqb provides a generically reusable very high performance shared memory IPC sytem for client and service applications. It supports many features including:
- Multiple transport implementations
- Shared memory implementation for very high performance.
- Unix sockets
- A synchronous request/response channel and asynchronous response channel per ipc connection.
- User defined private data per IPC connection.
- Ability to call a function per service on ipc connection and disconnection.
- Authenticated IPC connection with ability for developer to define which UIDs and GIDs are valid at connection time.
- Fully abstracted poll system so that any poll library may be used.
- User defined selector for determining the proper function to call per service and id.
- Security
- The ipc system uses default operating system security mechanics to ensure ipc connections are validated. A callback used with qb_ipcs_create() is called for every new ipc connection with the parameters of UID and GID. The callback then determines if the UID and GID are authenticated for communication.
- Performance
- For performance QB_IPC_SHM (shared memory) is recogmended. It is tuned for very high performance.
