mailslot v0.1.0

mailslot.js

A Rust implementation of the Windows Mailslot API wrapped in a Neon node module

Basic Usage

const mailslot = require('mailslot');
const NAME = 'node-mailslot-example';
const server = new mailslot.Server(NAME);
const client = new mailslot.Client(NAME);
function clientTick(ct) {
    if (ct > 10) return;
    client.send_message();
    setTimeout(serverTick, 1000, ct+1);
}
function serverTick(ct) {
    if (ct > 10) return;
    console.log(server.get_next_unread());
    setTimeout(clientTick, 500, ct);
}
clientTick(1);

NOTE: The mailslot is ideally utilized from different processes so the server's get_next_unread method is blocking.
