libshbuf implements a new kind of IPC: the "shared buffer", a faster, more
flexible replacement for standard Unix FIFOs. It offers the following
advantages:
- Normally better latency and throughput
- Full access to the buffer at any time
- Connecting processes need not to be children of each other
- Arbitrary buffer lengths
- Memory mapped
- "Backlog"
The implementation is based on SysV shared memory, semaphores and message
queues. It makes use of POSIX pthreads.
