devel/qt6-remoteobjects 6.8.3 DragonFly

Qt Remote Objects (QtRO) is an Inter-Process Communication (IPC) module developed for Qt. This module extends Qt's existing functionalities to enable information exchange between processes or computers, easily.

One of Qt's key features, to enable this information exchange, is the distinction between an object's API (defined by its properties, signals, and slots) and the implementation of that API. QtRO's purpose is to meet that expected API, even if the true QObject is in a different process. A slot called on a copy of an object (the Replica in QtRO) is forwarded to the true object (the Source in QtRO) for handling. Every Replica receives updates to the Source, either property changes or emitted signals.
