Nalix.Environment¶

Nalix.Environment provides the foundation for configuration, IO, and cross-platform environmental helpers.

Key Responsibilities¶

• Configuration: Loading and managing typed options from INI files.
• IO: Specialized file and directory handling for Nalix applications.
• Time: Monotonic clock, time-related primitives, and TimingScope for lightweight latency measurement.
• Random: Thread-safe random number generation.

Core Components¶

ConfigurationManager¶

The central registry for typed options. It supports hot-reloading and automatic persistence to .ini files.

Directories¶

Provides standardized paths for configuration, logs, and data across different operating systems.

Clock¶

A monotonic time source that is immune to system time changes, essential for network timing.

IRandomProvider¶

Abstracts random number generation to allow for predictable testing or high-entropy production sources.
