πŸŽ€ Classes πŸŽ€

here's the friend group, and yes every single one of them is iconic in their own way 🫢

  • class ost::UnixSocket β€” Unix domain sockets, bestie!! they're used for stream based connected sessions between processes on the same machine. same box, different process, still gossiping 🌈
  • class ost::UnixStream β€” Unix streams are used to represent Unix domain client connections to a local server for accepting client connections. so like, the server-side bouncer at the door πŸ‘‘
  • class ost::unixstream β€” a more natural C++ unixstream class for use by non-threaded applications. no threads, no drama, just vibes πŸ’œ
  • class ost::UnixSession β€” the Unix domain session is used to primarily to represent a client connection that can be managed on a separate thread. main character energy, gets its own thread and everything 😭
