/*

	zco.h:	definitions enabling the use of ZCOs (zero-copy
		objects), abstract data access representations
		designed to minimize I/O in the encapsulation of
		application source data within one or more layers
		of communication protocol structure.  ZCOs are
		constructed within the heap space of an SDR to
		which all layers of the stack must have access.
		Each ZCO contains information enabling access to
		one or more source data objects, together with
		(a) a linked list of zero or more "extents" that
		reference portions of the source data object(s)
		and (b) linked lists of protocol header and
		trailer capsules.  The concatentation of the
		headers (in ascending stack sequence), source
		data object extents, and trailers (in descending
		stack sequence) is what is to be transmitted or
		has been received.

		Each source data object may be either a file
		(identified by pathname stored in a "file reference"
		object in SDR heap) or an array of bytes in SDR
		heap space (identified by SDR address).  Each
		protocol header or trailer capsule indicates
		the length and the address (within SDR heap space)
		of a single protocol header or trailer at some
		layer of the stack.

		The extents of multiple ZCOs may reference the
		same files and/or SDR source data objects.  The
		source data objects are reference-counted to
		ensure that they are deleted automatically when
		(and only when) all ZCO extents that reference
		them have been deleted.

		Note that the safety of shared access to a ZCO is
		protected by the fact that the ZCO resides in SDR
		and therefore cannot be modified other than in the
		course of an SDR transaction, which serializes access.
		Moreover, extraction of data from a ZCO may entail
		the reading of file-based source data extents, which
		may cause file progress to be updated in one or
		more file reference objects in the SDR heap.
		For this reason, all ZCO "transmit" and "receive"
		functions must be performed within SDR transactions.
