// Package api defines the API cc-proxy exposes to clients (processes
// connecting to the proxy AF_UNIX socket).
//
// This package contains the low level definitions of the protocol, frame
// structure and the various payloads that can be sent and received.
//
// The proxy protocol is composed of commands, responses and notifications.
// They all share the same frame structure: a header followed by an optional
// payload.
//
// • Commands are always initiated by a client, never by the proxy itself.
//
// • Responses are sent by the proxy to acknowledge commands.
//
// • Notifications are sent by either the proxy or clients and do not generate
// responses.
//
// Frame Structure
//
// The frame format is illustrated below:
//
// 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 2 3 3
// 0 1 2 3 4 5 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 1

//
// All header fields are encoded in network order (big endian).
//
// • Version (16 bits) is the proxy protocol version. See api.Version for
// details about what information it encodes.
//
// • Header Length (8 bits) is the length of the header in number of 32-bit
// words. Header Length is greater or equal to 3 (12 bytes).
//
// • Type (4 bits) is the frame type: command (0x0), response (0x1),
// stream (0x2) or notification (0x3).
//
// • Opcode (8 bits) specifies the kind of command, response, stream or
// notification this frame represents. In conjunction with Type, this field
// will dictate the payload content.
//
// • E, Error. This flag is set when a response returns an error. Currently
// Error can ony be set in response frames.
//
// • Payload Length (32 bits) is in bytes.
//
// • Payload is optional data that can be sent with the various frames.
// Commands, responses and notifications usually encode their payloads in JSON
// while stream frames have raw data payloads.
//
// • Reserved fields are reserved for future use and must be zeroed.
//
// Frame Size and Header Length
//
// The full size of a frame is (Header Length + Payload Length). The Payload
// starts at offset Header Length from the start of the frame.
//
// It is guaranteed that future header sizes will be at least 12 bytes.
