Linux IPC
Linux IPC is a high-level Inter-Process Communication (IPC) library designed specifically for Linux systems. It provides a convenient and efficient way to facilitate communication between processes running on the same system using Unix domain sockets.
Features
-
Simplified API: This library offers a straightforward API for creating, connecting to, sending data and receiving data from Unix domain sockets, making IPC implementation hassle-free.
-
Client-Server Architecture: The library supports both client and server roles, enabling you to establish communication channels between processes in a flexible and scalable manner.
-
Efficient Data Serialization: This library uses serde and bincode for efficient serialization and deserialization of data, allowing you to send more complicated data structures over IPC.
Getting Started
Add the dependency linux-ipc
to your rust project and take a look at one of the example folders, it will contain an example for a server receiving a struct and a client sending the struct.
