# Status
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
LibIPC reached a stable state and is usable.

|
|
|
Performance is fine for most projects.
|
|
|
|
|
The `poll` syscall is used instead of more recent and *faster* syscalls (`epoll`, `kqueue`, etc.) because it is simpler and available on most systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since the API is great and performances are fine for what I do, I don't plan to change it, not even for faster syscalls.
|
|
|
|
|
A new library will be implemented if I ever change my mind.
|
|
|
|
|
So, again, the API should be fairly stable.
|
|
|
|
|
Enjoy!
