+/**
+ * @file io.c
+ *
+ * Socket and pipe IO utilities used in rsync.
+ *
+ * rsync provides its own multiplexing system, which is used to send
+ * stderr and stdout over a single socket. We need this because
+ * stdout normally carries the binary data stream, and stderr all our
+ * error messages.
+ *
+ * For historical reasons this is off during the start of the
+ * connection, but it's switched on quite early using
+ * io_start_multiplex_out() and io_start_multiplex_in().
