XivIpc

XivIpc contains the Unix-side implementation details behind the public shim. It owns the direct and sidecar message-bus transports, the sidecar protocol and broker lifecycle, brokered storage formats, and the shared-file TinyMemoryMappedFile implementation.

What It Is For

This project provides the transport and storage primitives that make the Linux, Wine, and Proton runtime path work.

  • Direct message delivery through in-memory or native shared-memory storage.
  • Broker-backed message delivery over a Unix socket control plane plus brokered shared-file storage.
  • Shared-file memory-mapped-file semantics for named payload storage.
  • Runtime and filesystem helpers for shared directories, permissions, logging, and process stamps.

How It Works

  • UnixDirectTinyMessageBus selects direct storage for the direct bus family. in-memory is local-process only and mainly useful for tests; shared-memory is the native Linux direct IPC mode.
  • UnixSidecarTinyMessageBus connects to the native broker, attaches to brokered storage, queues outbound messages, and reconnects in the background if the broker disappears.
  • UnixSidecarProcessManager discovers or launches XivIpc.NativeHost, enforces the single-broker-per-directory rule, and waits for a live socket plus state file before handing the lease to callers.
  • BrokeredChannelJournal is the default brokered production storage format.
  • BrokeredChannelRing is an alternate brokered storage primitive retained for bounded-storage behavior and future experimentation.
  • UnixTinyMemoryMappedFile implements named file-backed shared storage with a small on-disk header, process-local locking, and OS file locking.
  • UnixSharedStorageHelpers centralizes path resolution, permission handling, and runtime-specific path normalization.
