lwpa

Overview

Lightweight Platform Abstraction (lwpa): A set of platform abstraction modules.

Lightweight Platform Abstraction (lwpa) supports the writing of platform-neutral C and C++ libraries by providing a set of modules to abstract common system calls. There are also a few platform-neutral utilities (e.g. data structures, logging) thrown in here and there for convenience. lwpa headers can be either platform-neutral (contained in include/) or platform-specific (contained in include/[platform]). All platform-specific headers of the same lwpa module will conform to an identical interface.

Modules
	lwpa_lock
	Platform-neutral locks, mutexes and signals.
	lwpa_thread
	Platform-neutral threads.
	lwpa_bool
	A C boolean type.
	lwpa_cid
	Type and helper functions for the Component IDentifier (CID) used in the ACN family of protocols.
	lwpa_error
	Platform-neutral error codes.
	lwpa_inet
	POSIX-like identifiers for IP addresses and network interfaces.
	lwpa_int
	Fixed-width integer types.
	lwpa_log
	A platform-neutral module enabling applications and libraries to log messages in either or both of syslog-compliant and human-readable format.
	lwpa_mempool
	Memory pools with fixed-size elements.
	lwpa_netint
	A platform-neutral method for enumerating network interfaces.
	lwpa_pack
	Platform- and endianness-independent buffer packing and unpacking.
	lwpa_pdu
	Parse or pack a generic PDU or PDU block.
	lwpa_rbtree
	A red-black tree implementation.
	lwpa_socket
	Platform-neutral BSD-modeled network socket implementation.
	lwpa_timer
	Platform-neutral system timers.
	lwpa_uid
	Type and helper functions for the Unique ID (UID) used in the RDM family of protocols.

Macros
#define	LWPA_WAIT_FOREVER   -1
	For lwpa_ functions that take a millisecond timeout, this means to wait indefinitely.
