68  * following differences
69  *
70  *  - Use QOM to properly support arbitrary subclassing
71  *  - Support use of iovecs for efficient I/O with multiple blocks
72  *  - None of the character set translation, binary data exclusively
73  *  - Direct support for QEMU Error object reporting
74  *  - File descriptor passing
75  *
76  * This base class is abstract so cannot be instantiated. There
77  * will be subclasses for dealing with sockets, files, and higher
78  * level protocols such as TLS, WebSocket, etc.
