.SH NAME
libbus - A simple daemonless system for broadcasting messages locally
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBbus\fP is a stupid-simple, thrilless, daemonless interprocess
communication system for broadcasting messages.
.SH RATIONALE
We need an interprocess communication system similar to message queues.
But we need broadcasting rather than anycasting, so we have a fast,
simple and daemonless system for announcing events to any processes that
might be interested.
.SH FUTURE DIRECTION
Timed out read and writes will be added.
