/*	AUTO_CLNT *auto_clnt;
/* DESCRIPTION
/*	This module maintains 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.
/*
/*	This module tries each operation only a limited number of
/*	times and then reports an error.  This is unlike the
/*	clnt_stream(3) module which will retry forever, so that
/*	the application never experiences an error.
/*
/*	auto_clnt_create() instantiates a client endpoint.
/*
/*	auto_clnt_access() returns an open stream to the service specified
/*	to auto_clnt_create(). The stream instance may change between calls.
/*	The result is a null pointer in case of failure.
/*
/*	auto_clnt_recover() recovers from a server-initiated disconnect
/*	that happened in the middle of an I/O operation.
/*
/*	auto_clnt_name() returns the name of the specified client endpoint.
/*
/*	auto_clnt_free() destroys of the specified client endpoint.
/*
/*	Arguments:
/* .IP service
/*	The service argument specifies "transport:servername" where
/*	transport is currently limited to one of the following:
/* .RS
/* .IP inet
/*	servername has the form "inet:host:port".
/* .IP local
/*	servername has the form "local:private/servicename" or
/*	"local:public/servicename". This is the preferred way to
/*	specify Postfix daemons that are configured as "unix" in
/*	master.cf.
/* .IP unix
/*	servername has the form "unix:private/servicename" or
/*	"unix:public/servicename". This does not work on Solaris,
/*	where Postfix uses STREAMS instead of UNIX-domain sockets.
/* .RE
/* .IP timeout
/*	The time limit for sending, receiving, or for connecting
/*	to a server. Specify a value <=0 to disable the time limit.
/* .IP max_idle
/*	Idle time after which the client disconnects. Specify 0 to
/*	disable the limit.
/* .IP max_ttl
/*	Upper bound on the time that a connection is allowed to persist.
/*	Specify 0 to disable the limit.
/* .IP open_action
/*	Application call-back routine that opens a stream or returns a
/*	null pointer upon failure. In case of success, the call-back routine
/*	is expected to set the stream pathname to the server endpoint name.
/* .IP context
/*	Application context that is passed to the open_action routine.
/* DIAGNOSTICS
/*	Warnings: communication failure. Fatal error: out of memory.
/* LICENSE
