The State Threads is a small application library which provides a
|
|
foundation for writing fast and highly scalable Internet applications
|
|
(such as web servers, proxy servers, mail transfer agents, and so on) on
|
|
UNIX-like platforms. It combines the simplicity of the multithreaded
|
|
programming paradigm, in which one thread supports each simultaneous
|
|
connection, with the performance and scalability of an event-driven
|
|
state machine architecture. In other words, this library offers a
|
|
threading API for structuring an Internet application as a state
|
|
machine.
|
|
|
|
The State Threads library is a derivative of the Netscape Portable
|
|
Runtime library (NSPR).
