// rcli (Remote Command-Line Interface) is a simple protocol for...
// serving command-line interfaces remotely.
//
// rcli can be used over any transport capable of a) sending binary streams in
// both directions, and b) capable of half-closing a connection. TCP and Unix sockets
// are the usual suspects.
