| 4 | libt2n (talk2neighbor) is a C++ IPC (inter process communication) library | |
| 5 | with an additional code generator (libt2n-codegen). | |

7 | Before inventing our own IPC library, we checked a lot of other IPC frameworks |
| 8 | like CORBA, D-BUS and ICE. But they weren't easy to use and did not allow | |
| 9 | passing complex C++ objects like vectors, maps and your own classes. | |
| 10 | ||
| 11 | Communication between client and server is currently done using | |
| 12 | Unix domain sockets (named pipes) or TCP. But the library is designed | |
| 13 | transport-independent, so it can be expanded to | |
| 14 | shared memory or other mechanisms. | |
| 15 | ||
| 16 | Serializing all the complex objects is done with Boost serialization. | |
| 17 | The complete manual is generated by doxygen in the doc directory. | |
