Cytoplasm/include/Cytoplasm/Io.h
Jordan Bancino 461357b526 Move headers from src/include to include/Cytoplasm.
This makes it easier to build Cytoplasm as a component of another
program (for example, Telodendria), or as a standalone system library.

/***
* @Nm Io
* @Nd Source/sink-agnostic I/O for implementing custom streams.
* @Dd April 29 2023
* @Xr Stream Tls
*
* Many systems provide platform-specific means of implementing custom
* streams using file pointers. However, POSIX does not define a way
* of programmatically creating custom streams.
* .Nm
* therefore fills this gap in POSIX by mimicking all of the
* functionality of these platform-specific functions, but in pure
* POSIX C. It defines a number of callback funtions to be executed
* in place of the standard POSIX I/O functions, which are used to
* implement arbitrary streams that may not be to a file or socket.
* Additionally, streams can now be pipelined; the sink of one stream
* may be the source of another lower-level stream. Additionally, all
* streams, regardless of their source or sink, share the same API, so
* streams can be handled in a much more generic manner. This allows
* the HTTP client and server libraries to seemlessly support TLS and
* plain connections without having to handle each separately.
* .Pp
* .Nm
* was heavily inspired by GNU's
* .Fn fopencookie
* and BSD's
* .Fn funopen .
* It aims to combine the best of both of these functions into a single
* API that is intuitive and easy to use.
