 * None of this code is thread safe, if you want to use it in a
 * multi-threaded context, please protect it with a mutex.
 *
 * First, create a writer with sp_writer_create(), then select() on
 * the socket returned by sp_get_fd(). If the socket is closed or any
 * function returns an error, the app should call sp_close() and
 * assume the other side is dead. The writer calls
 * sp_writer_accept_client() when there is something to read from the
 * main server fd. This returns a new ShmClient (representing a client
 * connection), the writer needs to do a select() on the socket
 * returned by sp_writer_get_client_fd(). If it gets an error on that
 * socket, it calls sp_writer_close_client(). If there is something to
 * read, it calls sp_writer_recv().
 *
 * The writer allocates a block containing a free buffer with
 * sp_writer_alloc_block(), then writes something in the buffer
 * (retrieved with sp_writer_block_get_buf(), then calls
 * sp_writer_send_buf() to send the buffer or a subsection to the
 * other side. When it is done with the block, it calls
 * sp_writer_free_block().  If alloc fails, then the server must wait
 * for events on the client fd (the ones where sp_writer_recv() is
 * called), and then try to re-alloc.
 *
 * The reader (client) connect to the writer with sp_client_open() And
 * select()s on the fd from sp_get_fd() until there is something to
 * read.  Then they must read using sp_client_recv() which will return
 * the size of the buffer (positive) if there is a valid buffer (which
 * is read only).  It will return 0 if it is an internal message and a
 * negative number if there was an error.  If there was an error, the
 * application must close the pipe with sp_close() and assume that all
 * buffers are no longer valid. If was valid buffer was received, the
 * client must release it with sp_client_recv_finish() when it is done
 * reading from it.
