-The `make install` creates the `nqptp` group and installs a `systemd` startup script. You should enable it and start it in the normal way. Note that `nqptp` must run in `root` mode to be able to access ports 319 and 320.

# Notes
-A unix group called `nqptp` is created by the `make install` step. Members of this group have write access to the shared memory interface.
-If you wish to use the shared mutex to ensure records are not altered while you are accessing them, you should open your side of the shared memory interface with read-write permission. Be aware that while your program has the mutex lock, it can halt `nqptp`, so keep any activity while you have the lock very short and very simple, e.g. copying it to local memory.

# Known Issues
* It's probably buggy!
* At present, `nqptp` does not take advantage of hardware timestamping.
-* The daemon is Linux only, and has been developed and tested on a `systemd` Linux only.

# Things Can Change
The `nqptp` daemon is under active development and, consequently, everything here can change, possibly very radically.
