[gpsd-users] Providing just the stream handling?

[Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer]

Hi! I have been using gpsd and I came across an idea which might have been 
discussed before, but I'm failing to find it.

I'm using a Qt5 based application. I would love to use Qt5's QTcpSocket's 
signals to avoid polling gpsd.

For what I could read on gpsd's code it *might* be possible to give the user 
the full processed data stream so the user could use whatever method he likes 
to handle it.

For example, a method for properly setting up struct gps_data_t, a methos for 
creating the right payload in order to create a stream (ie, what gps_stream 
does but just returning the payload and letting the user send it), etc.

I see there is already gps_unpack(), but I *think* I'm missing the rest.

Any insights would be welcomed (I think *maybe* it can be implemented as a 
another backed, like GPSD_SHARED_MEMORY or GPSD_DBUS_EXPORT).

Thanks for reading, Lisandro.
