67  *
68  *  - Use QOM to properly support arbitrary subclassing
69  *  - Support use of iovecs for efficient I/O with multiple blocks
70  *  - None of the character set translation, binary data exclusively
71  *  - Direct support for QEMU Error object reporting
72  *  - File descriptor passing
73  *
74  * This base class is abstract so cannot be instantiated. There
75  * will be subclasses for dealing with sockets, files, and higher
76  * level protocols such as TLS, WebSocket, etc.
