9P is a network protocol developed at Bell Labs for the Plan 9 from Bell Labs
|
|
|
|
|
distributed operating system as the means of accessing and manipulating
|
|
|
|
|
resources and applications transparently in a distributed environment. 9P works
|
|
|
|
|
both as a distributed file system and as a network transparent and language
|
|
|
|
|
agnostic 'API'.

libixp's server API is based heavily on that of Plan 9's lib9p, and the two
|
|
|
|
|
libraries export virtually identical data structures.
