Network Layer

TCP/IP (allows client/server connection on different hosts)

UDS (Unix Domain Sockets)

pipe() based socket api implementation. usefull for embedded devices. (There is no dependency for TCP/IP stack, if clients and server linked in singled app.)

Memory based pipe(), read(), send(), poll() implementation. xynth is able to work even there is no file descriptor on system.

Mutex and condition variables implementation using semaphores.

Direct Memory Access allows clients to draw directly on graphics buffer.

Overlapped client window - server management

Buffer streaming (allows client/server connection on different hosts)

8-way Move, Resize

Runtime Optional theme plugin support. (Xfce themes) .xpm to .so tool.

Built-in image renderer xpm, png, gif
