+
+/* An iobuf is basically a filter in a pipeline.
+
+ Consider the following command, which consists of three filters
+ that are chained together:
+
+ $ cat file | base64 --decode | gunzip
+
+ The first filter reads the file from the file system and sends that
+ data to the second filter. The second filter decodes
+ base64-encoded data and sends the data to the third and last
+ filter. The last filter decompresses the data and the result is
+ displayed on the terminal. The iobuf system works in the same way
+ where each iobuf is a filter and the individual iobufs can be
+ chained together.
+
+ There are number of predefined filters. iobuf_open(), for
+ instance, creates a filter that reads from a specified file. And,
+ iobuf_temp_with_content() creates a filter that returns some
+ specified contents. There are also filters for writing content.
+ iobuf_openrw opens a file for writing. iobuf_temp creates a filter
+ that writes data to a fixed-sized buffer.
+
+ To chain filters together, you use the iobuf_push_filter()
+ function. The filters are chained together using the chain field
+ in the iobuf_t.
+
+ A pipeline can only be used for reading (IOBUF_INPUT) or for
+ writing (IOBUF_OUTPUT / IOBUF_OUTPUT_TEMP). When reading, data
+ flows from the last filter towards the first. That is, the user
+ calls iobuf_read(), the module reads from the first filter, which
+ gets its input from the second filter, etc. When writing, data
+ flows from the first filter towards the last. In this case, when
+ the user calls iobuf_write(), the data is written to the first
+ filter, which writes the transformed data to the second filter,
+ etc.
+
+ An iobuf_t contains some state about the filter. For instance, it
+ indicates if the filter has already returned EOF (filter_eof) and
+ the next filter in the pipeline, if any (chain). It also contains
+ a function pointer, filter. This is a generic function. It is
+ called when input is needed or output is available. In this case
+ it is passed a pointer to some filter-specific persistent state
+ (filter_ov), the actual operation, the next filter in the chain, if
+ any, and a buffer that either contains the contents to write, if
+ the pipeline is setup to write data, or is the place to store data,
+ if the pipeline is setup to read data.
+
+
+ Unlike a Unix pipeline, an IOBUF pipeline can return EOF multiple
+ times. This is similar to the following:
+
+ { cat file1; cat file2; } | grep foo
+
+ However, instead of grep seeing a single stream, grep would see
+ each byte stream followed by an EOF marker. (When a filter returns
+ EOF, the EOF is returned to the user exactly once and then the
+ filter is removed from the pipeline.) */

+ or EOF. In this case, it simply writes the data to BUF, sets
+ *LEN and returns the appropriate return code. The implication
+ is that if an error occurs and no data has yet been written, it
+ is essential that *LEN be set to 0!
+
+ IOBUFCTRL_FLUSH: Called with this value to write out any
+ collected data. *LEN is the number of bytes in BUF that need
+ to be written out. Returns 0 on success and a GPG_ERR_* code
+ otherwise. *LEN must be set to the number of bytes that were
+ written out.
+
+ IOBUFCTRL_CANCEL: Called with this value when iobuf_cancel() is
+ called on the pipeline.
+
