What remote interfaces are there to access skycat?
There are a number of ways to access skycat data or commands from an external process: • Tk send, plus a collection of simple Tcl procs defined by Skycat (see below and also the comments at end of skycat/interp/library/Skycat.tcl) • Remote socket interface (see rtd/rtdrmt module for examples) • SysV shared memory for image header and data (see rtdimage “shm” subcommand) • MMAP shared file/memory for image header and data (mmap is used by default to read the image files) • Rtd real-time interface (rtdServer)
