/* NAME
/*	clnt_stream 3
/* SUMMARY
/*	client endpoint maintenance
/* SYNOPSIS
/*	#include <clnt_stream.h>
/*
/*	CLNT_STREAM *clnt_stream_create(class, service, timeout, ttl)
/*	const char *class;
/*	const char *service;
/*	int	timeout;
/*	int	ttl;
/*
/*	VSTREAM	*clnt_stream_access(clnt_stream)
/*	CLNT_STREAM *clnt_stream;
/*
/*	void	clnt_stream_recover(clnt_stream)
/*	CLNT_STREAM *clnt_stream;
/*
/*	void	clnt_stream_free(clnt_stream)
/*	CLNT_STREAM *clnt_stream;
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	This module maintains local IPC client endpoints that automatically
/*	disconnect after a being idle for a configurable amount of time,
/*	that disconnect after a configurable time to live,
/*	and that transparently handle most server-initiated disconnects.
/*	Server disconnect is detected by read-selecting the client endpoint.
/*	The code assumes that the server has disconnected when the endpoint
/*	becomes readable.
/*
/*	clnt_stream_create() instantiates a client endpoint.
/*
/*	clnt_stream_access() returns an open stream to the service specified
/*	to clnt_stream_create(). The stream instance may change between calls.
/*
/*	clnt_stream_recover() recovers from a server-initiated disconnect
/*	that happened in the middle of an I/O operation.
/*
/*	clnt_stream_free() destroys of the specified client endpoint.
/*
/*	Arguments:
/* .IP class
/*	The service class, private or public.
/* .IP service
/*	The service endpoint name. The name is limited to local IPC
/*	over sockets or equivalent.
/* .IP timeout
/*	Idle time after which the client disconnects.
/* .IP ttl
/*	Upper bound on the time that a connection is allowed to persist.
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/*	Warnings: communication failure. Fatal error: mail system is down,
/*	out of memory.
/* SEE ALSO
/*	mail_proto(3h) low-level mail component glue.
/* LICENSE
/* .ad
/* .fi
/*	The Secure Mailer license must be distributed with this software.
