SecureX Message Passing library (libsxmp)
-----------------------------------------
1. Purposes.
This library is designed to implement secure message passing protocol with
embedded RPC support. One of the goal was to implement very flexible security
permission types i.e. to have a few methods to limit access depends on some
information.
It might be used in a wide area of different services kind.
Going further, the other important goal was a simple and clean protocol and
S-expression was used (it also useful if you want remote host to evaluate
something).
2. Documentation
The best API documentation in *nix world is a manpages. This is the option used
in this library.
README file contains the description of build process, but it's very common for
*nix systems.
3. Examples
To give a start point examples was created (stupid and simple ones), below the
list of currently existing examples:
* filelistd/filelistc - a file lister daemon and client. This is a simple
client/server application used to list the directory content from the remote
host using client application
All examples located within the project under the `examples/' directory.
4. Tools and scripts
A few ones exists (or will appear within the next releases). The lists below.
4.1 Scripts (located under `scripts/')
* create-x509-example.sh - a simple script to create x.509 certificates i.e.
it will create a root certificate (public and private) and user x.509 signed
by the root. It useful to run examples or to quick start with development of
your own stuff.
5. Contribute
Anyone can create a patches, submit fixes and new features, examples, documents
or any other useful stuff (beer or few €/$ is also useful).
All this might be discussed with the author (contact me via the following email
a.vdolainen@gmail.com).
6. Is it stable ?
Yes, but debugging, fixing is ongoing process. To be sure better to use the
latest release, not the last stuff commited to the git.
Later unit tests will be created to make it `rock solid stable' or how it might
sounds `very mature'. BTW, in the process of the old releases development many
bugs (or memory leaks) was found in other libraries.
7. Feedback
I will be quite happy not only in case of any donation made, but also if you
will inform me about your use case of this library.
Also, it will be nice to add this library to linux distributions, *bsd as
many as possible (if so, please let me know).
Anyways, you feel free to write me about questions and other things.
