MSGQ is designed to be a high performance replacement for ZMQ-like SUB/PUB patterns. It uses a ring buffer in shared memory to efficiently read and write data. Each read requires a copy. Writing can be done without a copy, as long as the size of the data is known in advance. While MSGQ is the core of this library, this library also allows replacing the MSGQ backend with ZMQ or a spoofed implementation that can be used for deterministic testing. This library also contains visionipc, an IPC system specifically for large continiguous buffers (like images/video). +MSGQ is a generic high performance IPC pub sub system with a single publisher and multiple subscribers.

The metadata contains:
