I said I'd never blog

I have just committed a bunch of rather heavy modifications to the AppInterface secure-RPC system from DeforaOS.

Among the significant changes:

• introduced distinct interface definition files; currently expected to be installed in $(SYSCONFDIR)/AppInterface, they contain the definitions of the calls exported (they were previously hard-coded within the library)
• the exported functions are still obtained automatically with dlopen(NULL)+dlsym(), but they now need to be prefixed with the name of the interface implemented (and a '_' character)

I haven't had the time to thoroughly test these changes, but I hope I will get to use this code again soon. I really want to be playing with the VFS and monitoring applications again.

About the VFS in particular, the directory listing functions should be implemented soon. Finally :)
