* 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* buffers are no longer valid.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.
