ctagd is a tag based message passing interface over sockets (MPIS for short).
ctagd works by having a master program (also called a server) and communicates with several slave programs (also called clients).
Currently there are two modes: The first is a queue based mode where each tagged message gets put in its own queue, in this mode the server has a thread for each client and recvs messages and puts the messages into a queue (based on thier tags). Similarly the client has its own queue and thread that does the same.
The second mode is just a simple fifo read from the socket, that is you specify which socket you wish to read from and then read the first message from the socket.
TODO: write better documentation on the features of ctagd and how to use them.
To just build the object file, run:
$ make build
If you want to build the library, then run:
$ make lib
Note when including this library in your own project it is important to link
threads (like so -lpthread
) when compiling.
TODO
$ make test
The above will compile and run the tests.
