devel/imsg-compat - The NetBSD Packages Collection

Portable version of OpenBSD's imsg interface

This is an unofficial port of OpenBSD's imsg interface to linux.

The imsg functions provide a simple mechanism for communication between
local processes using sockets. Each transmitted message is guaranteed to
be presented to the receiving program whole.  They are commonly used in
privilege separated processes, where processes with different rights are
required to cooperate.
