As you see you have two versions of Skynet cluster by default:
- skynet_dev.php - version with autoloader works on classes from src/ directory. You can use this version for development and tests
- skynet.php - compiled version with all classes from src/ directory included itself. This is the "production version" - one single file to put on server after compile from src/
You can work on this two versions (when you launch both you will see that these two works exacly the same at now), but the idea od Skynet clusters is to operate on standalone compiled versions called here "clusters".
You will see also:
- skynet_client.php - Client for Skynet connections. This is a simple example shows how to integrate Skynet with other applications
Full API Documentation is included in Skynet packages available on GitHub.
