pub const CBEvent = struct {
// CallBack Event types.
// In the main event loop, servers and clients can receive connections,
// disconnections, errors or messages from their pairs. They also can
// set a timer so the loop will allow a periodic routine (sending ping
// messages for websockets, for instance).
//
// A few other events can occur.
//
// Extra socket
// The main loop waiting for an event can be used as an unique entry
// point for socket management. libipc users can register sockets via
// ipc_add_fd allowing them to trigger an event, so events unrelated
// to libipc are managed the same way.
// Switch
// libipc can be used to create protocol-related programs, such as a
// websocket proxy allowing libipc services to be accessible online.
// To help those programs (with TCP-complient sockets), two sockets
// can be bound together, each message coming from one end will be
// automatically transfered to the other socket and a Switch event
// will be triggered.
// Look Up
// When a client establishes a connection to a service, it asks the
// ipc daemon (ipcd) to locate the service and establish a connection
// to it. This is a lookup.
// For IO callbacks (switching).
pub const Type = enum {
NO_ERROR, // No error. A message was generated.
ERROR, // Generic error.
FD_CLOSING, // The fd is closing.
IGNORE, // The message should be ignored (protocol specific).
};
