2 gwave-exec sends a single guile-scheme expression to a running
3 gwave process, where it is evaluated and the result returned.
5 gwaverepl is an interactive read-evaluate-print loop, sending multiple
6 expressions can be sent to gwave for evaluation. It can be compiled
9 Comunication with the running gwave is through the X server. The
10 protocol used is borrowed from the scwm window manager. It could
11 probably use to be extended a bit. Multiple gwave processes on the
12 same X server are not supported well. (ok, not supported at all.)
14 Using the X server for interprocess communication may not be as
15 familiar as using TCP/IP, nor as trendy as things like CORBA, but it
16 does exactly what we need as far as security: if you can connect to
17 the X server, you can control gwave and cause it to execute arbitrary
18 scheme code. Otherwise, not.
