# p9 - Server implementation of the [9p] file system protocol

This directory contains the protocol definition and a server implementation of
the [9p] file system protocol.

*   [wire_format_derive] - A [procedural macro] that derives the serialization
    and de-serialization implementation for a struct into the [9p] wire
    format.
*   [src/protocol] - Defines all the messages used in the [9p] protocol.  Also
    implements serialization and de-serialization for some base types
    (integers, strings, vectors) that form the foundation of all [9p]
    messages.  Wire format implementations for all other messages are derived
    using the `wire_format_derive` macro.
*   [src/server.rs] - Implements a full [9p] server, carrying out file system
    requests on behalf of clients.
