This example offers a practical demonstration of inter-process event signaling in iceoryx2. It showcases how one process can signal an event to another process, allowing for efficient communication.
In this scenario, the 'listener' process waits for incoming events. When an
event arrives, it promptly awakens and reports the [EventId] of the received
event. On the other end, the 'notifier' process periodically sends notifications
with an incrementing EventId every second.
To see this in action, open two separate terminals and run the following commands:
Terminal 1
cargo run --example event_listenerTerminal 2
cargo run --example event_notifierFeel free to run multiple listeners or notifiers concurrently to observe how iceoryx2 efficiently handles event signaling across processes.
You may hit the maximum supported number of ports when too many listener or notifier processes run. Take a look at the iceoryx2 config to set the limits globally or at the API of the Service builder to set them for a single service.
