Log Message:
ecore_con module is there... what does this do? con is short for.. CONNECT!
:)
ecore_con is a generic ipc/communications/socket/event/loop/buffering layer. it
uses the ecore event loop and infrastructure to get data from a socket and
send it, handle connections of clients etc. it handles buffering all data so if
you send mroe data than your os socket buffers will allow your pgoram does
NOT block waiting for the os to flush its buffers... nor does it fail. ecore
just buffers it for you in ram and flushes it whenever the socket is ready
for more data. (basically what xlib does internally). this means you can
happily send MASSES of data and the time it takes is a memcpy(). the rest
gets quietly flushed in the background. Recieving data is done on demand when
it arrives. It makes it EASY for a program to advertise a socket serivce -
setup is trivial. a program just sets up a server on a named service and
ecore does the rest for you. this will make it brain-dead for ecore using
programs to talk to eachother later on. this is structured to be able to add
tcp/ip in with no api changes (which i will add later). this will let ecore
apps talk over networks... in fact ecore will let you write arbitary
client/server programs talking any protocol, new or existing, as long as its
tcp :) you could write a webserver using it, or a ftp server or an ftp
client... take your pick...
NB: this is NOT complete. work is underway on it. it's just up and running
now with some basics working.
