Server API

pvxs::server::Server represents a PVA protocol server. :

#include <pvxs/server.h>
namespace pvxs { namespace server { ... } }

The basic recipe to run a server using configuration from the process environment is: :

auto serv = Server::Config::from_env()
            .build()
// call serv.addSource() at least once
serv.run(); // run intil SIGINT or serv.interrupt()
// could also call serv.start() and later serv.stop()

A useful server will have one or more pvxs::server::Source instances added to it with addSource() method.

If more than one Source is added, then an order of precedence is established through the "order" argument of addSource(). In the event that more than one Source could provide/claim a given PV name, the Source with the lowest "order" will win.
