This crate abstracts interprocess transport for UNIX/Windows.
It utilizes unix sockets on UNIX (via `tokio::net::UnixStream`) and named pipes on windows (via `tokio::net::windows::named_pipe` module).
Endpoint is transport-agnostic interface for incoming connections:
```rust
use parity_tokio_ipc::Endpoint;
use futures::stream::StreamExt;
// For testing purposes only - instead, use a path to an actual socket or a pipe
let addr = parity_tokio_ipc::dummy_endpoint();
let server = async move {
Endpoint::new(addr)
.incoming()
.expect("Couldn't set up server")
.for_each(|conn| async {
match conn {
Ok(stream) => println!("Got connection!"),
Err(e) => eprintln!("Error when receiving connection: {:?}", e),
}
});
};
let rt = tokio::runtime::Builder::new_current_thread().enable_all().build().unwrap();
rt.block_on(server);
```
