MFEK IPC (inter-process communication) Library v0.0.4-beta1
Modular Font Editor K (MFEK) inter-process communication library. No longer alpha, now in beta ꞵ! Yet still has an unstable API, and will remain unversioned for now.
This library is responsible for:
-
communication between running MFEK modules (including modules of the same type, e.g. multiple processes of MFEKglif)
-
providing helper functions for running modules w/CLI APIs that often need to be called by other modules (examples:
MFEKinit
,MFEKmetadata
) (this part might be spun off into another library) -
providing the
IPCInfo
struct which can be used by modules to tell other modules what they know about the current environment (answering questions like: is.glif
parented? do we need to add.exe
to module names on command line?) -
provides an API for version checking of modules and an
Available
enum, if user doesn't have the module we need (Yes
,No
,Degraded
[version mismatch, might be ok, might not]) -
display of ASCII art headers, such as…

- «unironically MFEK's killer feature, this is what will finally cause my font editor project to be taken seriously» ~ Fred 2021-12-19
- (if you hate these, you can disable them with environment variable
MFEK_SUPPRESS_HEADER
; disable system-wide by putting in shell profile e.g. for bashexport MFEK_SUPPRESS_HEADER=1
)
