- Base xapp; not for client use directly
+ This base class initializes RMR by starting a thread that checks for
+ incoming messages, and provisions an SDL object.
+
+ If environment variable CONFIG_FILE_ENV is defined, and that value is a
+ path to an existing file, a watcher is defined to monitor modifications
+ (writes) to that file using the Linux kernel's inotify feature, and the
+ configuration-change handler function is invoked. The watcher can be
+ polled by calling method config_check().

+ ----------

+
+ use_fake_sdl: bool (optional)
+ if this is True, it uses the dbaas "fake dict backend" instead
