15 Docu : To use the lyxserver define the name of the pipe in your
17 \serverpipe "/home/myhome/.lyxpipe"
18 Then use .lyxpipe.in and .lyxpipe.out to communicate to LyX.
19 Each message consists of a single line in ASCII. Input lines
20 (client -> LyX) have the following format:
21 "LYXCMD:<clientname>:<functionname>:<argument>"
22 Answers from LyX look like this:
23 "INFO:<clientname>:<functionname>:<data>"
24 [asierra970531] Or like this in case of error:
25 "ERROR:<clientname>:<functionname>:<error message>"
26 where <clientname> and <functionname> are just echoed.
27 If LyX notifies about a user defined extension key-sequence,
28 the line looks like this:
29 "NOTIFY:<key-sequence>"
30 [asierra970531] New server-only messages to implement a simple protocol
31 "LYXSRV:<clientname>:<protocol message>"
32 where <protocol message> can be "hello" or "bye". If hello is
33 received LyX will inform the client that it's listening its
34 messages, and 'bye' will inform that lyx is closing.
36 See development/server_monitor.c for an example client.
37 Purpose: implement a client/server lib for LyX
