// Communication between the core client and the BOINC app library.

// - shared memory (APP_CLIENT_SHM)
// - main init file
// - fd init file
// - graphics init file

// the channel contains an unread data.
// This is set by the sender and cleared by the receiver.
// The sender doesn't write if the flag is set.
