NAME

       libspread - Spread Group Communication Client Library


SYNOPSIS


DESCRIPTION

       The Spread libspread 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. The libspread library is thread-safe. However,
       the libspread-core.a library is not thread-safe. The libtspread-core.a
       library is the version to use if you need a thread-safe version of the
       core.  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.
