## DESCRIPTION

libixp is a client and server library for interacting with the 9P filesystem protocol. It includes a straightforward 9P filesystem client, a callback-based server library, portable utilities for opening and multiplexing sockets, a library of data marshalling functions, and utilities to ease the construction of simple virtual filesystem servers. Further, libixp is completely threadsafe and can be adapted to virtual any threading system.
