Detailed Description

Public definitions from nmad core and common to all nmad interfaces It contains mainly:

• definition of gates, the opaque type to designate a peer: nm_gate_t. User is expected to get gates using Launcher interface.
• definition of tags: nm_tag_t. Tag size is usually at least 64 bits wide. Maximum available tag is NM_TAG_MAX.
• definition of data descriptors, struct nm_data_s the internal data representation in nmad: Internal data representation: data iterators

Sessions are the basic multiplexing facility in NewMadeleine. Messages and tags from different sessions are isolated from each other, allowing multiple libraries to use NewMadeleine at the same time, or a given code to use multiple nmad interfaces at the same time. While they are used throughout all nmad interfaces, sessions (nm_session_t) are not defined in core but in the Session interface. In the core, a session is only a part of the tag (see struct nm_core_tag_s and Tags for core)
