Wiak is a very efficient, special-purpose, usually non-interactive, extremely lightweight IPC shell that is used for building client/server "wiakapps". A variety of demonstration wiakapps are available as part of the current WIAK suite. The name WIAK stands for the "WIAK Interface für Application Kontrolle". As an inter-process communications utility, its name reflects its ability to create and control diverse wiakapps whose component parts may be written in a variety of programming languages and with an assortment of GUI toolkits. License: GNU General Public License v3 Changes: A new family of more resource-efficient wiak shell programs has been created called the "twiaks". Unlike a full wiak, each individual twiak can handle only with one IPC mode (albeit in a more efficient package). A few variables have also been renamed in order to facilitate the future inclusion of POSIX message queues. The documentation has had a major revision to account for the new twiak family.
