/**
 * @defgroup globus_xio_driver Globus XIO Driver
 * @ingroup globus_xio
 *
 * Globus XIO introduces a notion of a driver stack to its API.
 * Within globus_xio every I/O operation must occur on a globus_xio 
 * handle.  Associated with each handle is a stack of drivers.
 * A driver is a modulular piece of code that implements the globus_xio
 * driver interface.  The purpose of a driver is manipulate data passed
 * in by the user in someway.  Each driver in a stack will serve its own 
 * unique purpose.
 * 
 * I/O operations pass from driver to driver, starting at the top of the 
 * stack and ending at the bottom.  When the bottom layer driver finishes 
 * with the operation it signals globus_xio that it has completed.  
 * Completion notification then flows up to the top of the driver stack.
 *
 *  @section driver_types Driver Types
 * 
 *  <dl>
 *     <dt>Transport driver:</dt>
 *     <dd>
 *     A transport driver is one that is responsible for
 *     data communication. For example, a TCP or UDP driver would
 *     transmit data via network sockets, or a file driver would write
 *     data to a file.
 *     
 *     There must be exactly one transport driver in a stack, at its bottom.
 *     A transport driver never passes an operation to another driver in
 *     the stack. Instead, this type of driver relies on globus_xio system
 *     functions to implement data operations.
 *     </dd>
 *
 *     <dt>Transform driver:</dt>
 *     <dd>
 *     A transform driver is any intermediate driver in the stack. A transform 
 *     driver relies on some other drivers on the driver stack to
 *     perform the data transport operation.  An example of a transform driver
 *     would one which implements a network protocol such as http.  This driver
 *     would frame and parse messages, but would rely on other drivers in
 *     the XIO stack.
 *
 *     This allows additional transforms to happen in the XIO stack, such as
 *     layering the http protocol on top of an SSL protocol driver before
 *     transmitting the data via TCP.
 *     </dd>
 *  </dl>
 *
 *  @section driver_api Driver API 
 *  The Globus XIO Driver API is a set of functions and interfaces
 *  to allow a developer to create an XIO driver.
 *  To create a driver the user must implement all of the interface
 *  functions in the driver specification.
 *  There is also a set of functions provided to assist the driver
 *  author in implementing a driver.
 *
 *  @subsection driver_api_quickstart Quick Start
 *  For basic driver needs, the developer will have to pay attention to a
 *  few structures and concepts.
 *
 *  <dl>
 *        <dt><code>globus_xio_operation_t</code></dt>
 *        <dd>
 *        This structure represents a request for an operation.  If
 *        the driver can service the operation it does so and the
 *        calls the appropriate <em>finished</em> function.  If the
 *        driver cannot completely service the operation it can <em>pass</em>
 *        it to the next driver in the stack. As soon as the
 *        operation structure is either finished or passed it is no 
 *        longer valid for use in any other function.
 *        </dd>
 *
 *        <dt><code>globus_xio_driver_handle_t</code></dt>
 *        <dd>
 *        A globus_xio_driver_handle_t represents an open handle to the driver
 *        stack for XIO. The driver obtains a driver_handle by calling 
 *        globus_xio_operation_get_driver_handle().
 *        The driver_handle allows the user to do some
 *        complex things that will be described later.
 *        </dd>
 *    </dl>
 * 
 *  @subsection globus_xio_driver_typical Typical Sequence:
 *  Here is a typical sequence of events for a globus_xio transform
 *  driver. All operations are initiated either by the application calling
 *  a function in the Globus XIO API, or from a driver above the transform
 *  driver in the stack passing an operation to this driver.
 *
 *  <dl>
 *           <dt>Open</dt>
 *           <dd>
 *           XIO calls the globus_xio_driver_transform_open_t function of the
 *           driver, passing it the operation and, in the case of a passive
 *           open, the link from a server accept. The driver typically
 *           allocates a private data structure containing the state it wishes
 *           to associate with this handle, and passes this along with a
 *           callback function pointer to globus_xio_driver_pass_open(). 
 *           This allows the other drivers in the XIO stack to continue to
 *           process the operation.
 *
 *           After the lower drivers in the stack have completed processing
 *           the open, they will call globus_xio_driver_finished_open(),
 *           which will in turn call the callback function which the
 *           driver passed as a parameter to globus_xio_driver_pass_open().
 *           The driver then does any post-open operation needed, and then
 *           finishes the operation by calling
 *           globus_xio_driver_finished_open(), passing the private state
 *           data as the <em>driver_handle</em> parameter.  This state
 *           data will be passed to future operation implementations done 
 *           with this handle.
 *
 *           <dt>Read/Write</dt>
 *           <dd>XIO calls the driver's
 *           globus_xio_driver_read_t or globus_xio_driver_write_t function
 *           with an operation as a parameter and the state date from
 *           the globus_xio_driver_finished_open() call. The driver then 
 *           transforms the data if necessary and then calls
 *           the globus_xio_driver_pass_read() or
 *           globus_xio_driver_pass_write()
 *           which passes the operation down the XIO driver stack. When
 *           the driver below it on the XIO stack calls
 *           globus_xio_driver_finished_read() or
 *           globus_xio_driver_finished_write(), the callback which was
 *           passed is invoked. In that callback, the driver should itself
 *           call globus_xio_driver_finished_read() or
 *           globus_xio_driver_finished_write() to indicate completion.
 *           </dd>
 *
 *           <dt>Close</dt>
 *           <dd>XIO calls the close interface function, passing an
 *            operation and the private driver state.  The driver will call 
 *            globus_xio_driver_pass_close() passing it the operation.
 *            When the close callback is received the driver calls
 *            globus_xio_driver_finished_close() passing it the
 *            operation. At this point, the driver typically frees its
 *            private data, as the handle is no longer valid.
 *            </dd>
 *    </dl>
 *
 *  @section globus_xio_driver_attributes Globus XIO Attributes
 *  Attributes provide a way to pass additional metadata to driver operations.
 *  Most Globus XIO API functions include an attribute parameter. Each driver
 *  implements its own set of attribute handling function. To implement
 *  attributes, a driver must provide functions of these types:
 *
 *  - globus_xio_driver_attr_init_t
 *  - globus_xio_driver_attr_copy_t
 *  - globus_xio_driver_attr_cntl_t
 *  - globus_xio_driver_attr_destroy_t
 *
 *  Pointers to these functions are associated with the driver by calling
 *  globus_xio_driver_set_attr
 *
 *   @section globus_xio_advanced_driver_programming Advanced Driver Programming
 *   The typical driver implementation is describe above.  However globus_xio
 *   allows driver authors to do more advanced things such as initiating
 *   operations on their own.
 *
 *   <dl>
 *   <dt>Read Ahead</dt>
 *   <dd>Once a handle is open, a driver can create operation structures
 *   from it.  A driver can then request I/O from the driver
 *   stack before it receives a call to its own I/O interface
 *   functions, implementing read-ahead functionality. This can be done
 *   as follows:
 *
 *   <ol>
 *   <li>Obtain a driver handle from the open operation by calling
 *   globus_xio_operation_get_driver_handle()</li>
 *   <li>Create an operation by calling globus_xio_driver_operation_create()
 *   and pass it the driver_handle from the previous step</li>
 *   <li>call globus_xio_driver_pass_read() using this operation.  When the
 *   read callback is received, the driver saves the returned data in
 *   its private data and then calls globus_xio_driver_finished_read() on the
 *   operation.</li>
 *   <li>When XIO calls the driver's read interface function,
 *   the driver can immediately call globus_xio_driver_finished_read()
 *   function after updating the iovec structure with the data it had
 *   previously read.</li>
 *   </ol>
 *   </dd>
 *   </dl>

 *********************************************************************/
/**
 *  @defgroup globus_xio_data_descriptors Data descriptors
 *  @ingroup globus_xio
 *
 *  globus_xio uses data descriptors to associate meta data with the 
 *  data being written or the data read.
 *
 *  Data descriptors flow into the drivers read and write interface
 *  functions by way of the operation structure.  If the driver is
 *  interested in viewing the data descriptor it can request it from
 *  the operation structure via a call to 
 *  globus_xio_driver_operation_get_data_descriptor() and it can view
 *  any driver specific data descriptor via a call to
 *  globus_xio_driver_data_descriptor_get_specific().  The driver
 *  can modify values in the data descriptor by setting values before
 *  passing the request down the stack.  Several functions are available
 *  to modify the data descriptors.  There is no need to "set()" the 
 *  data descriptors back into the operation.  The functions for manipulating
 *  the values in a DD affect the values xio has directly.
 *
 *  Data descriptors flow back to the driver in the callbacks for
 *  the data operations.  When calling finished operation on a data 
 *  operation the driver must pass in a data descriptor.  It should get 
 *  this data descriptor from the io operation callback.
 *
 *  Life Cycle:
 *
 *  Passing in a data descriptor:
 *    A data descriptor is first created by the globus_xio user.  The user 
 *    can add driver specific data descriptors to it.  Once the user has
 *    created and set the attributes on its data descriptor to their liking
 *    they pass it into a globus_xio data operation (either read or write).
 *    When the data descriptor is passed on globus_xio will make an internal
 *    copy of it.  It does this by first coping the user the level
 *    data descriptor and then walking through the list of driver specific
 *    data descriptor contained in to and requesting the driver make 
 *    a copy of the driver specific data descriptor.  If ever a driver
 *    specific data descriptor is NULL globus_xio need not call into its
 *    drivers dd_copy function.  If ever the user level data descriptor is
 *    NULL globus_xio need not deal with the data descriptor functionality at 
 *    all.  
 *
 *  A data descriptor coming back up the stack
 *    Once an io operation reaches the transport driver (the bottom of the
 *    stack) it takes on a slightly different role.  On the way in it
 *    is describing what is requested to be done with the data, on the way
 *    out it is describing what has actually been done.  Once the transport
 *    driver performs the operation it should adjust the data descriptor
 *    to reflect what has actually happened (few drivers will need to worry
 *    about this).  Each driver on the way up can adjust the data 
 *    descriptor and its driver specific data descriptor.  When XIO reaches
 *    the top of the stack it calls a user callback.  When that callback 
 *    returns all memory associated with the data descriptor is cleaned up.
 *    The interface function globus_xio_driver_data_descriptor_free() is
 *    used for this.

 *  @ingroup globus_xio_driver
 *
 *  A driver can choose to expose parameters as in a string form.  Providing
 *  this feature makes dynamically setting driver specific options much easier.
 *  a user can then load the driver by name and set specific options by name
 *  all at runtime with no object module references.  For example, a TCP driver
 *  can be loaded with the string: tcp, and the options can be set with:
 *
 *  port=50668;keepalive=yes;nodelay=N
 *
 *  this would set the port to 50668, keepalive to true and nodelay to false.
 *  The particular string definition is defined by the tcp driver by properly 
 *  creating a globus_i_xio_attr_parse_table_t array.  Each element of the
 *  array is 1 options.  There are 3 members of each array entry: key, cmd, and
 *  parse function.  The key is a string that defines what option is to be set.
 *  In the above example string "port" would be 1 key.  cmd tells the driver what
 *  cntl is associated with the key.  In other words, once the string is parsed out
 *  what driver specific control must be called to set the requested option.  For
 *  more information on controls see @ref globus_xio_attr_cntl.  The final value
 *  in the array entry is the parsing function.  The parsing function takes the 
 *  value of the key=value portion of the string and parses it into data types.
 *  once parsed globus_xio_attr_cntl is called and thus the option is set.  There are 
 *  many available parsing functions but the developer is free to right their own
 *  if the provided ones are not sufficient.  Sample parsing functions follow:
 *
 *  - @ref globus_xio_string_cntl_bool
