    #1. absolute override goes to the invocation: override_local/

=head1 NAME

IPC::Transit - A framework for high performance message passing

=head1 NOTES

The serialization is currently hard-coded to https://metacpan.org/pod/Sereal

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  use strict;
  use IPC::Transit;
  IPC::Transit::send(qname => 'test', message => { a => 'b' });

  #...the same or a different process on the same machine
  my $message = IPC::Transit::receive(qname => 'test');

  #remote transit
  remote-transitd &  #run 'outgoing' transitd gateway
  IPC::Transit::send(qname => 'test', message => { a => 'b' }, destination => 'some.other.box.com');

  #On 'some.other.box.com':
  plackup --port 9816 $(which remote-transit-gateway.psgi) &  #run 'incoming' transitd gateway
  my $message = IPC::Transit::receive(qname => 'test');

=head1 DESCRIPTION

This queue framework has the following goals:

=over 4

=item * Serverless

=item * High Throughput

=item * Usually Low Latency

=item * Relatively Good Reliability

=item * CPU and Memory efficient

=item * Cross UNIX Implementation

=item * Multiple Language Compability

=item * Very few module dependencies

=item * Supports old version of Perl

=item * Feature stack is modular and optional

=back

This queue framework has the following anti-goals:

=over 4

=item * Guaranteed Delivery

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=head2 send(qname => 'some_queue', message => $hashref, [destination => $destination, serializer => 'some serializer', crypto => 1 ])

This sends $hashref to 'some_queue'.  some_queue may be on the local
box, or it may be in the same process space as the caller.

This call will block until the destination queue has enough space to
handle the serialized message.

The destination argument is optional.  If defined, it is the remote host
will receive the message.

The serialize argument is optional, and defaults to Sereal.  It is
over-ridden with the IPC_TRANSIT_DEFAULT_SERIALIZER environmental
variable.  The following serializers are available:

serial, json, yaml, storable, dumper

NB: there is no need to define the serialization type in receive.  It is
automatically detected and utilized.

The crypto argument is optional.  See below for details.

=head2 receive(qname => 'some_queue', nonblock => [0|1], override_local => [0|1])

This function fetches a hash reference from 'some_queue' and returns it.
By default, it will block until a reference is available.  Setting nonblock
to a true value will cause this to return immediately with 'undef' is
no messages are available.

override_local defaults to false; if set to true, the receive will always
do a non-process local receive.


=head2 stat(qname => 'some_queue')

Returns various stats about the passed queue name, per IPC::Msg::stat:

 print Dumper IPC::Transit::stat(qname => 'test');
 $VAR1 = {
          'ctime' => 1335141770,
          'cuid' => 1000,
          'lrpid' => 0,
          'uid' => 1000,
          'lspid' => 0,
          'mode' => 438,
          'qnum' => 0,
          'cgid' => 1000,
          'rtime' => 0,
          'qbytes' => 16384,
          'stime' => 0,
          'gid' => 1000
 }

=head2 stats()

Return an array of hash references, each containing the information
obtained by the stat() call, one entry for each queue on the system.

=head2 CRYPTO

On send(), if the crypto argument is set, IPC::Transit will sign and
encrypt the message before it is sent.  The necessary configs, including
relevant keys, are set in some global variables.

See an actual example of this in action under ex/crypto.pl

Please note that this module does not directly assist with the always
onerous task of key distribution.

=head3 $IPC::Transit::my_hostname

If not set, this defaults to the output of the module Sys::Hostname.
This value is placed into the message by the sender, and used by the
receiver to lookup the public key of the sender.

=head3 $IPC::Transit::my_keys

This is a hash reference initially populated, in the attribute 'default',
with the private half of a default key pair.  For actual secure
communication, a new key pair must be generated on both sides, and the
sender's private key needs to be placed here:

  $IPC::Transit::my_keys->{private} = $real_private_key

=head3 $IPC::Transit::public_keys

As above, this is a hash reference initially populated, in the attribute
'default', with the public half of a default key pair.  For actual secure
communication, a new key pair must be generated on both sides, and the
receiver's public key needs to be placed here:

  $IPC::Transit::public_keys->{$receiver_hostname} = $real_public_key_from_receiver

$receiver_hostname must exactly match what is passed into the 'destination'
field of send().

All of these keys must be base 64 encoded 32 byte primes, as used by
the Crypto::Sodium package.

=head3 IPC::Transit::gen_key_pair()

This returns a two element array representing a public/privte key pair,
properly base64 encoded for use in $IPC::Transit::my_keys and
$IPC::Transit::public_keys

=head1 SEE ALSO

A zillion other queueing systems.

=head1 TODO

Implement nonblock flag for send()

=head1 BUGS

Patches, flames, opinions, enhancement ideas are all welcome.

I am not satisfied with not supporting Windows, but it is considered
secondary.  I am open to the possibility of adding abstractions for this
kind of support as long as it doesn't impact the primary goals.
