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