//! Interprocess communication toolkit for Rust programs. The crate aims to expose as many platform-specific features as possible while maintaining a uniform interface for all platforms.
//!
//! # Features
//! ## Interprocess communication primitives
//! `interprocess` provides both OS-specific interfaces for IPC and cross-platform abstractions for them.
//!
//! ### Cross-platform IPC APIs
//! - **Local sockets** – similar to TCP sockets, but use filesystem or namespaced paths instead of ports on `localhost`, depending on the OS, bypassing the network stack entirely; implemented using named pipes on Windows and Unix domain sockets on Unix
//!
//! ### Platform-specific, but present on both Unix-like systems and Windows
//! - **Unnamed pipes** – anonymous file-like objects for communicating privately in one direction, most commonly used to communicate between a child process and its parent
//! - **Signals** – C signals on Windows, POSIX signals on Unix-like OSes *(deprecated)*
//!
//! ### Unix-only
//! - **FIFO files** – special type of file which is similar to unnamed pipes but exists on the filesystem, often referred to as "named pipes" but completely different from Windows named pipes
//! - **Unix domain sockets** – a type of socket which is built around the standard networking APIs but uses filesystem paths instead of ports on `localhost`, optionally using a spearate namespace on Linux akin to Windows named pipes
//!
//! ### Windows-only
//! - **Named pipes** – closely resembles Unix domain sockets, uses a separate namespace instead of on-drive paths
//!
//! ## Asynchronous I/O
//! Currently, only Tokio for local sockets, Unix domain sockets and Windows named pipes is supported. Support for `async-std` is planned.
//!
//! # Feature gates
//! - **`signals`**, *on* by default – enables support for POSIX signals and C signals. Pulls in additional dependencies.
//! - **`tokio_support`**, *off* by default – enables support for Tokio-powered efficient asynchronous IPC. Cannot simply be named `tokio` because of Cargo limitations.
//! - **`nonblocking`**, *on* by default – deprecated and will be removed, do not use.
//!

// - **Mailslots** – Windows-specific interprocess communication primitive for short messages, potentially even across the network
// - **Shared memory** – exposes a nice safe interface for shared memory based on mapping identifiers, with some additional platform-specific extensions
