The State Threads Library is a small application library which
|
|
provides a foundation for writing fast and highly scalable Internet
|
|
applications (such as web servers, proxy servers, mail transfer
|
|
agents, and so on, really any network-data-driven application) on
|
|
UNIX-like platforms. It combines the simplicity of the multithreaded
|
|
programming paradigm, in which one thread supports each simultaneous
|
|
connection, with the performance and scalability of an event-driven
|
|
state machine architecture. In other words, this library offers a
|
|
threading API for structuring an Internet application as a state
|
|
machine.
