| PackageDescription | IJS raster image transport protocol: development files
IJS (InkJet Server) is, first and foremost, a protocol for transmission of
raster page images. This snapshot provides a reference implementation of
the protocol, the design of which is still in flux. When the protocol
specification is published, it will be authoritative. Applications should
feel free to link against the library provided in this package, adapt that
code for their own needs, or roll a completely new implementation.
.
IJS is a client-server protocol, used to write ghostscript drivers. The
drivers are separate programs. The client and server communicate via pipes,
though shared memory may be used additionally in the future. Currently IJS
is used by the hpijs and ijsgimpprint drivers.
.
Code for both the client- and server-side is included in the library. This
package provides a static library, development headers and documentation. |
