+ * After negotiating which module to use and reading the server's
+ * motd, this hands over to client_run(). Telling the server the

+ * Instead of doing a transfer, the client may at this stage instead
+ * get a listing of remote modules and exit.
*
* @return -1 for error in startup, or the result of client_run().
+ * Either way, it eventually gets passed to exit_cleanup().
