Data streaming / sharing from client side in an IPC example

[Ajith Whowe]

Dear Martin,

thank you very much for the kind answer. The solution You provided
worked well. The only concern is as You know the data to be send can
not have a greater size than the L4_UTCB_GENERIC_DATA_SIZE (due to
UTCB size). So the question is do you have also another solution for
larger data streaming? (Off course other than sending the data by
means of various blocks with L4_UTCB_GENERIC_DATA_SIZE)

Best Regards,
