libshbuf

Library for Shared Buffer IPC

libshbuf implements a new kind of IPC: the "shared buffer", a faster, more flexible replacement for standard Unix FIFOs. It offers the following advantages: - Normally better latency and throughput - Full access to the buffer at any time - Connecting processes need not to be children of each other - Arbitrary buffer lengths - Memory mapped - "Backlog" The implementation is based on SysV shared memory, semaphores and message queues. It makes use of POSIX pthreads.
