NAME

       ixp_namespace

SYNOPSIS

       #include <ixp.h>

       char *ixp_namespace(void);

DESCRIPTION

       Returns  the  path of the canonical 9p namespace directory.  Either the value of $NAMESPACE, if it's set,
       or, roughly, /tmp/ns.${USER}.${DISPLAY:%.0=%}. In the latter case, the directory is created if it doesn't
       exist, and it is ensured to be owned by the current user, with no group or other permissions.

RETURN VALUE

       A statically allocated string which must not be freed or  altered  by  the  caller.  The  same  value  is
       returned upon successive calls.

BUGS

       This function is not thread safe until after its first call.
