/*
 * Protocol implementation details.  Protocols must implement the
 * interfaces in this file.  Note that implementing new protocols is
 * not necessarily intended to be a trivial task.  The protocol developer
 * must understand the nature of nng, as they are responsible for handling
 * most of the logic.  The protocol generally does most of the work for
 * locking, and calls into the transport's pipe functions to do actual
 * work, and the pipe functions generally assume no locking is needed.
 * As a consequence, most of the concurrency in nng exists in the protocol
 * implementations.
 *
 * Pipe operations may block, or even reenter the protoccol entry points
 * (for example nni_pipe_close() causes the protocols proto_remove_pipe
 * entry point to be called), so it is very important that protocols do
 * not hold any locks across calls to pipe functions.
