+  This file contains raw serialization and deserialization of IPC messages.
+  An IPC message can contain either the payload length followed by the content,
+  or a 'type number' can be added between those values.

+  [payload length in bytes][message type][payload]
+
+  The message type informs what format should be expected.
+  For example: an authentication attempt, a page request, etc.
