/*
	Definition of the GIP protocol (Graphics Initiation Protocol).
	This is a protocol meant for communication on a local machine between
	a process providing a graphics window (screen & input) and a client
	process that does user interaction.

	Examples :
	- giosrv makes the hardware available as a GIP server
	- the login manager is a GIP client of giosrv
	- the user window manager is a GIP client of the login manager
	  (when a user session is active, the login manager is mostly a GIP proxy,
	  but it intercepts the Ctrl+Alt+Del keyboard shortcut to terminate/lock
	  the active user session)
	- each window managed by the WM acts as a GIP server.
	- the GUI library basically knows how to be a GIP client that does actually
	  usefull stuff (displaying a gui)

	Features of the GIP protocol for OUTPUT :
	- as an option, mode setting (for when the buffer is a display)
	- as an option, buffer resizing (for when the buffer is a window)
		TODO: interacts somehow with WMP (window managing protocol)
	- server-side allocation of a framebuffer
	- as an option, double buffering (server allocates two buffers,
	  client tells server to switch buffers)
	- "buffer damage" notification from clients on active buffer,
	  (not necessary, and disabled, when the buffer is actually the
	  display output itself)
	  (a buffer switch request implies a global buffer damage notification)
	
	Features of the GIP protocol for KEYBOARD INPUT :
	- raw keycode notification from server on keypress/keyrelease

	Features of the GIP protocol for MOUSE INPUT :
	- as an option, raw mouse data input
	- as an option, mouse data parsing & notification in terms
	  of (mouse_x, mouse_y)
	- as an option, cursor display handling (server mouse data
	  parsing must be enabled)

	The active/inactive features are defined on a per-GIP-channel basis.

	Typical GIP session :
	- C: RESET
	- S: INTIATE (available features)
	- S: BUFFER_INFO (base buffer)
	- C: ENABLE_FEATURES (desired features)
	- S: OK
	- S: BUFFER_INFO (double buffering is enabled! new buffers needed)
	- C: draws on buffer 1
	- C: SWITCH_BUFFER 1	
	- S does not answer to SWITCH_BUFFER messages (they happen too often!)
	- C: draws on buffer 0
	- C: SWITCH_BUFFER 0
	- ...
