@@ -4,6 +4,14 @@ bus uses a System V semaphore array and System V shared memory. Buses are named; the key of the semaphore array and the shared memory is stored in a regular file. +The shared memory used by bus is always 2048 bytes. Additionally +all messages should be encoded in UTF-8 and not contain any NULL +characters, except they MUST always end with a zero byte. +Furthermore messages should be prefixed with the process +identifer of the process whence the message originated, followed +by a space. If the process is ephemeral, 0 should be used instead +of the process identifier. + Communication over bus is synchronous. The broadcast call does not return until all listeners have received (and copyied) the message. |
