62 * QIOChannel:
64 * The QIOChannel defines the core API for a generic I/O channel
65 * class hierarchy. It is inspired by GIOChannel, but has the
66 * following differences
68 * - Use QOM to properly support arbitrary subclassing
69 * - Support use of iovecs for efficient I/O with multiple blocks
70 * - None of the character set translation, binary data exclusively
71 * - Direct support for QEMU Error object reporting
72 * - File descriptor passing
74 * This base class is abstract so cannot be instantiated. There
75 * will be subclasses for dealing with sockets, files, and higher
76 * level protocols such as TLS, WebSocket, etc.
