/** Generic byte-streams

/** An abstract stream of bytes--either incoming or outgoing or both.
 *
 * The creator of a stream sets functions to handle read and write.
 * Both of these handlers accept a baton whose value is determined at
 * stream creation time; this baton can point to a structure
 * containing data associated with the stream.  If a caller attempts
 * to invoke a handler which has not been set, it will generate a
 * runtime assertion failure.  The creator can also set a handler for
 * close requests so that it can flush buffered data or whatever;
 * if a close handler is not specified, a close request on the stream
 * will simply be ignored.  Note that svn_stream_close() does not
 * deallocate the memory used to allocate the stream structure; free
 * the pool you created the stream in to free that memory.
 *
 * The read and write handlers accept length arguments via pointer.
 * On entry to the handler, the pointed-to value should be the amount
 * of data which can be read or the amount of data to write.  When the
 * handler returns, the value is reset to the amount of data actually
 * read or written.  The write and full read handler are obliged to
 * complete a read or write to the maximum extent possible; thus, a
 * short read with no associated error implies the end of the input
 * stream, and a short write should never occur without an associated
 * error. In Subversion 1.9 the stream api was extended to also support
 * limited reads via the new svn_stream_read2() api.
 *
 * In Subversion 1.7 mark, seek and reset support was added as an optional
 * feature of streams. If a stream implements resetting it allows reading
 * the data again after a successful call to svn_stream_reset().
