NAME

       libdoor - doors library

SYNOPSIS

       cc [ flag... ] file... -ldoor [ library... ]
       #include <door.h>

DESCRIPTION

       The  functions in this library provide programmatic access to doors, including the ability to create and call them. Doors are a fast light-
       weight RPC mechanism for secure control transfer between processes on the same machine. Conceptually, a thread in one process can  issue  a
       call  using  a  door  descriptor  that causes code to be executed in another process and then returns using the traditional synchronous RPC
       model.  Doors can also be used to pass data and file descriptors between processes.
