class Init;

//! Interface providing access to interprocess-communication (IPC)

//! functionality. The IPC implementation is responsible for establishing

//! connections between a controlling process and a process being controlled.

//! When a connection is established, the process being controlled returns an

//! interfaces::Init pointer to the controlling process, which the controlling

//! process can use to get access to other interfaces and functionality.

//!

//! When spawning a new process, the steps are:

//!

//! 1. The controlling process calls interfaces::Ipc::spawnProcess(), which

//!    calls ipc::Process::spawn(), which spawns a new process and returns a

//!    socketpair file descriptor for communicating with it.

//!    interfaces::Ipc::spawnProcess() then calls ipc::Protocol::connect()

//!    passing the socketpair descriptor, which returns a local proxy

//!    interfaces::Init implementation calling remote interfaces::Init methods.

//! 2. The spawned process calls interfaces::Ipc::startSpawnProcess(), which

//!    calls ipc::Process::checkSpawned() to read command line arguments and

//!    determine whether it is a spawned process and what socketpair file

//!    descriptor it should use. It then calls ipc::Protocol::serve() to handle

//!    incoming requests from the socketpair and invoke interfaces::Init

//!    interface methods, and exit when the socket is closed.

//! 3. The controlling process calls local proxy interfaces::Init object methods

//!    to make other proxy objects calling other remote interfaces. It can also

//!    destroy the initial interfaces::Init object to close the connection and

//!    shut down the spawned process.

//!

//! When connecting to an existing process, the steps are similar to spawning a

//! new process, except a socket is created instead of a socketpair, and

//! destroying an Init interface doesn't end the process, since there can be

//! multiple connections.
