Description

The Generalized Process Template (GPT) provides a framework for HOSS server programmers to construct server programs. It provides convenience functions to register services with the SIM, set up H event queue processors to process messages associated with a given service, and provide an optional simple Xt interface for the server program. It also provides convenience functions to clients to get a port to a service with a given name.
