Crate ipc_channel
source · [−]Expand description
An implementation of the Rust channel API over process boundaries. Under the hood, this API uses Mach ports on Mac and file descriptor passing over Unix sockets on Linux. The serde library is used to serialize values for transport over the wire.
Features
force-inprocess
Force the inprocess
backend to be used instead of the OS specific backend.
The inprocess
backend is a dummy back-end, that behaves like the real ones,
but doesn’t actually work between processes.
memfd
Use memfd_create to back OsIpcSharedMemory on Linux. memfd_create was introduced in kernel version 3.17. WARNING: Enabling this feature with kernel version less than 3.17 will cause panics on any use of IpcSharedMemory.

Modules
Routers allow converting IPC channels to crossbeam channels.
The RouterProxy provides various methods to register IpcReceiver<T>
s.
The router will then either call the appropriate callback
or route the message to a crossbeam Sender<T>
or Receiver<T>
.
You should use the global ROUTER
to access the RouterProxy
methods (via ROUTER
’s
Deref
for RouterProxy
.
Enums
The kind of error that can be produced during a serialization or deserialization.
Type Definitions
An error that can be produced during (de)serializing.
