Novolis.Transports.LocalIpc

Framed local IPC transport for typed request/response and event-stream messaging over named pipes (Windows) or Unix domain sockets (non-Windows). Domain-agnostic — typed RPC helpers live in consumer packages (Novolis.Agent.Surface, Novolis.Avalonia.Agent.Protocol, etc.).

Install

dotnet add package Novolis.Transports.LocalIpc

Quick start — client

using Novolis.Transports.LocalIpc;

var endpoint = new LocalIpcEndpoint("novolis-audio-live");
using var client = LocalIpcTransport.CreateClient();
await using var connection = await client.ConnectAsync(endpoint);

await connection.SendAsync(new LocalIpcFrame(
    Sequence: 1,
    Kind: "request",
    Name: "Snapshot",
    Payload: Array.Empty<byte>()));

await foreach (var frame in connection.ReadAllAsync())
{
    // handle response/event frames
}

Quick start — server

var endpoint = new LocalIpcEndpoint("novolis-audio-live");
await using var listener = LocalIpcTransport.CreateListener(endpoint);

while (true)
{
    await using var connection = await listener.AcceptAsync();
    await foreach (var frame in connection.ReadAllAsync())
    {
        await connection.SendAsync(new LocalIpcFrame(
            frame.Sequence, "response", frame.Name, responseBytes));
    }
}

Frame protocol

Each frame on the wire: 4-byte little-endian length + binary body:

long sequence
UTF-8 kind (e.g. request, response, event)
UTF-8 name (operation or event name)
byte[] payload

LocalIpcFrameCodec.WriteAsync / ReadAsync handle encoding. ReadAsync returns null on clean EOF.

LocalIpcTransportKind.Auto picks named pipe on Windows, Unix socket elsewhere.
