The unixonacid library interface

libunixonacid provides higher-level interfaces to Unix concepts such as the filesystem - for instance, it provides a way to access several files atomically, be it for reading or for writing - or interprocess communication.

Compiling

• Use #include <skalibs/unixonacid.h>

Programming

The skalibs/unixonacid.h header is actually a concatenation of other headers, every one of each declaring related structures, macros and functions.

• skalibs/unix-transactional.h: transactional filesystem operations
• skalibs/unix-timed.h: timed synchronous IPC or network operations
• skalibs/unixmessage.h: safe asynchronous and synchronous message transmission between processes via Unix sockets, including fd-passing
• skalibs/kolbak.h: simple callback management for asynchronous message transmission
• skalibs/skaclient.h: higher-level client-server interface using messages
