NAME
libsp - Spread Group Communication Client Library
SYNOPSIS
DESCRIPTION
The Spread
libsp
library implements the client SP interface to the Spread
group communication or multicast message bus system.
DATA STRUCTURES
HEADER FILES
sp.h
is the main header and includes necessary defines and types. It also
includes the other header files sp_events.h and sp_func.h.
sp_events.h
declares the types and functions that make up the E Event-management
library.
sp_func.h
declares the functions of the SP interface. Since sp.h includes this you
should not include this directly.
FILES
No files are required for client applications using the SP library.
DIAGNOSTICS
The library will not output any debugging information except in fatal errors.
The
SP_error(3)
function can be used to print an informative error message when SP functions
return an error code.
BUGS
None currently known. Library is only thread-safe if the program
is linked with libtsp.a not libsp.a. The non-thread-safe library is
provided for those who are writing single-threaded applications and do not
want to pay the minimal performance penalty for locking.
