# Parsec Rust Client
This repository contains a Rust client for consuming the API provided by the [Parsec service](https://github.com/parallaxsecond/parsec).
The low-level functionality that this library uses for IPC is implemented in the [interface crate](https://github.com/parallaxsecond/parsec-interface-rs).
## Filesystem permission check
To make sure that the client is communicating with a trusted Parsec service, some permission checks
are done on the socket location. Please see the
[Recommendations for Secure Deployment](https://parallaxsecond.github.io/parsec-book/threat_model/secure_deployment.html)
for more information.
This feature is activated by default but, knowing the risks, you can remove it with:
```
cargo build --features no-fs-permission-check
```
It is also desactivated for testing.
