+ <p>libqb is a library with the primary purpose of providing
+ high-performance, reusable features for client-server architecture, such
+ as logging, tracing, inter-process communication (IPC), and polling.

+ <p>It was discovered that libqb used predictable filenames (under /dev/shm
+ and /tmp) without O_EXCL.
