1.1 Nomenclature

In order to describe the system, we should introduce some terminology. First of all, the server is the ladccad server program, an omni-present marshaller and database for storing arbitrary application data. The library is the ‘libladcca’ shared library. It contains all the functions that an application uses to communicate with the server and take part in the system. Such an application is called a client.

The server deals with things in terms of collections of clients, called projects. A project has a unique string name, a current directory and a list of clients that are in that project. The server can have one client that is a server interface that allows the user to control the server. There is one server interface included with the system, the ladcca_control program.
