+ * This header defines and describes (through comments) the local UNIX domain
+ * socket interface implemented between rvinterf and its clients like fc-tmsh.
+ *
+ * The UNIX domain sockets used for this ad hoc interface are of the
+ * SOCK_STREAM kind, but the true nature of the communication is message-based.
+ * We use the same trick that is used for DNS over TCP: every message in each
+ * direction is preceded by a 2-byte length.  This length and all other
+ * multibyte numbers are sent in the native byte order of the machine on which
+ * the rvinterf suite is running.  The limit on the size of these messages
+ * (for sizing buffers etc) is:

+ * The first two commands (CLI2RVI_WANT_RVTRACE and CLI2RVI_WANT_MUXPROTO)
+ * are the means by which client programs inform rvinterf that they are
+ * interested in receiving copies of certain packets coming from the target.
+ *
+ * The CLI2RVI_WANT_RVTRACE opcode needs to be followed by a USEID mask value
+ * and a USEID match value, both in the native byte order of the machine
+ * running rvinterf, for a total message length of 9 bytes.  For every RV
+ * trace message received from the target, rvinterf will iterate through all
+ * active clients to see who is interested: if the received USEID ANDed with
+ * the mask equals the match value, the message will be forwarded to that
+ * client.
+ *
+ * The CLI2RVI_WANT_MUXPROTO opcode needs to be followed by one byte
+ * identifying the RVTMUX protocol of interest, i.e., the first byte of the
+ * packets exchanged between the host and the target, e.g., 0x12 for L1 traces
+ * as defined in pktmux.h, for a total message length of 2 bytes.
+ *
+ * The last two commands (CLI2RVI_PKT_TO_TARGET and CLI2RVI_RAWBYTES_TO_TARGET)
+ * cause data payload to be sent to the target serial port.  Payload following
+ * CLI2RVI_PKT_TO_TARGET (must not exceed MAX_PKT_TO_TARGET) is sent with the
+ * proper packet encapsulation per TI; bytes following
+ * CLI2RVI_RAWBYTES_TO_TARGET are sent raw.

+ * to a client after that client has expressed interest in receiving
+ * target->host packets of a particular type.
+ *
+ * Messages beginning with RVI2CLI_LOCAL_CMD_RESP are generated locally
+ * by rvinterf itself as responses to commands, currently as responses to
+ * CLI2RVI_WANT_{RVTRACE,MUXPROTO}.  The byte following the
+ * RVT2CLI_LOCAL_CMD_RESP type code is ASCII '+' or ASCII '-', indicating
