25;;; Commentary:
26
27;;; manages receiving a stream asynchronously,
28;;; parsing it into transactions, and then calling
29;;; handler functions
30
31;;; Our basic structure is the queue/process/buffer triple.  Each entry
32;;; of the queue is a regexp/closure/function triple.  We buffer
33;;; bytes from the process until we see the regexp at the head of the
34;;; queue.  Then we call the function with the closure and the
35;;; collected bytes.

37;;; Code:

42PROCESS should be a subprocess capable of sending and receiving
43streams of bytes.  It may be a local process, or it may be connected
44to a tcp server on another machine."
