This repo provides Go packages for writing 9P2000 file servers. One such example is jsonfs, which serves a JSON-encoded file as a file tree. Currently, only server functionality is provided, though a client is planned -- see plan9port, v9fs for client implementations.

9P2000 provides a lightweight, stateful protocol for using hierarchical APIs. The styx package attempts to expose, rather than hide, this statefulness; user sessions are handled by, and tied to the lifetime of, a single function.

This is a work-in-progress on a high-level library for writing 9P servers and clients. While it has reached a point where it can be used to write working file systems, the high-level API and its implementation are still subject to change. For now, please vendor this dependency if you would choose to use it.

This repository provides the following packages:

• styxproto: Low-level decoder and encoder for 9P2000 messages.
• styx: high-level server package akin to net/http
• styxauth - various styx.AuthFunc implementations

Of these, styxproto is the most stable. The styx package is still in an experimental stage.
