misc

  • handle signals using the self-pipe trick (nothing else seems better nor as portable)
  • close the connection and log when we receive too big messages
  • decide then explicitely document what the max message size should be
  • rx message buffer should be small but should grow if required
  • some functions are not exposed in the bindings, mostly functions related to switching

makefile

  • release

documentation

  • document the two ways to use LibIPC: either within some Zig code or through the bindings
  • manpages for ipcd, tcpd, pong, pongd

src/exchange-fd.zig

  • still very WIP, even though it works as expected
  • recvmsg is a very stupid copy of the sendmsg fn, EXPECT ERRORS (if used outside libipc)
  • at least one memory error when using Cmsghdr (see below)
