Back to search · Project homepage

Description

libixp is a stand-alone client/server 9P library including ixpc client. It consists of less than 2000 lines of code (including ixpc). 9P is a network protocol developed at Bell Labs for the Plan 9 from Bell Labs distributed operating system as the means of accessing and manipulating resources and applications transparently in a distributed environment. 9P works both as a distributed file system and as a network transparent and language agnostic 'API'. libixp's server API is based heavily on that of Plan 9's lib9p, and the two libraries export virtually identical data structures.
