  61 * QIOChannel:
  62 *
  63 * The QIOChannel defines the core API for a generic I/O channel
  64 * class hierarchy. It is inspired by GIOChannel, but has the
  65 * following differences
  66 *
  67 *  - Use QOM to properly support arbitrary subclassing
  68 *  - Support use of iovecs for efficient I/O with multiple blocks
  69 *  - None of the character set translation, binary data exclusively
  70 *  - Direct support for QEMU Error object reporting
  71 *  - File descriptor passing
  72 *
  73 * This base class is abstract so cannot be instantiated. There
  74 * will be subclasses for dealing with sockets, files, and higher
  75 * level protocols such as TLS, WebSocket, etc.
