/** 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.  Handlers 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 1.7 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().
