Currently supported devices for input:
`Polldescr(st,fd,esys): The poll system call is used with file
         descriptor fd to wait for incoming data. The
         event system esys is the underlying event queue. This works
         well for pipes, sockets etc. but not for normal files. The
         style st can be obtained from fd via
         Netsys.get_fd_style.`Multiplex mplex: The multiplex controller mplex is
         used as device. `Buffer buf: Data comes from the buffer buf (which in turn
         is connected with a second device)`Count_in(f,d): Data is read from d, and every time a few
         bytes n are read the function f n is called (which may raise
         an exception)Generally, it is not well supported to read in parallel several times from the same device.

Currently supported devices for output:
`Polldescr(fd,esys): The poll system call is used with file
         descriptor fd to wait until data can be output. The
         event system esys is the underlying event queue. This works
         well for pipes, sockets etc. but not for normal files.`Multiplex mplex: The multiplex controller mplex is
         used as device. `Buffer buf: Data is written to the buffer buf (which in turn
         is connected with a second device)`Count_out(f,d): Data is written to d, and every time a few
         bytes n are written the function f n is called (which may raise
         an exception)Generally, it is not well supported to write in parallel several times to the same device.

The user can pass data buffers that base either on bytes or on
      bigarrays of char (memory). Note that `Memory is not supported
      for all devices or device configurations.

val input_e : [< in_device ] ->
       Netsys_types.tbuffer -> int -> int -> int Uq_engines.enginelet e = input_e d s pos len: Reads data from d and puts it into
     the string s starting at pos and with maximum length len.
     When data is available, the engine e transitions to `Done n
     where n is the number of actually read bytes.
If len>0 and no bytes can be read because the end is reached, the engine
     transitions to `Error End_of_file.
val really_input_e : [< in_device ] ->
       Netsys_types.tbuffer -> int -> int -> unit Uq_engines.enginelet e = input_e d s pos len: Reads data from d and puts it into
     the string s starting at pos and with length len.
     Exactly len bytes are read, and when done, 
     the engine e transitions to `Done ().
If the end of the file is reached before len bytes are read,
     the engine transitions to `Error End_of_file.
val input_line_e : ?max_len:int -> in_bdevice -> string Uq_engines.enginelet e = input_line_e d: Reads the next line from d and transitions
      to `Done line when done. Note that this is only supported for a
      buffered device!
If the end of the file is already reached when this function is 
      called, the engine transitions to `Error End_of_file.
If max_len is set, this is the maximum length of the line
      (including LF). If exceeded, the engine transitions to
      `Error Line_too_long.
val input_lines_e : ?max_len:int -> in_bdevice -> string list Uq_engines.enginelet e = input_lines_e d: Reads as many lines from d as can be
      found in the buffer of d, and transitions to `Done lines. If
      no complete line is in the buffer, the function extends the buffer and
      waits until at least one line is added to the buffer (if necessary,
      this process is repeated).
If the end of the file is already reached when this function is 
      called, the engine transitions to `Error End_of_file.
      The function never returns an empty list of lines.
input_lines_e is just an optimized version of input_line_e that
      requires fewer and cheaper blitting operations.
If max_len is set, this is the maximum length of the line
      (including LF). If exceeded, the engine transitions to
      `Error Line_too_long.
val eof_as_none : 'a Uq_engines.final_state -> 'a option Uq_engines.final_stateRepresents EOF as None. Useful in the combination
 input_e d s p l >> eof_as_none and
 input_line_e d >> eof_as_none where >> is from Uq_engines.Operators
val in_obj_channel : [< in_device ] -> float -> Netchannels.in_obj_channelin_obj_channel d timeout: Creates a synchronous channel from the
      input device.
If the timeout is encountered, this function raises Uq_engines.Timeout.
val output_e : [< out_device ] ->
       Netsys_types.tbuffer -> int -> int -> int Uq_engines.enginelet e = output_e d s pos len: Outputs data to d and takes it
      from the string s starting at pos and with maximum length
      len. When data is written, the engine e transitions to `Done n
      where n is the number of actually written bytes.
val really_output_e : [< out_device ] ->
       Netsys_types.tbuffer -> int -> int -> unit Uq_engines.enginelet e = really_output_e d s pos len: Outputs data to d and takes it
      from the string s starting at pos and with length
      len. When all data is written, the engine e transitions to
      `Done ().
val output_string_e : [< out_device ] -> string -> unit Uq_engines.enginelet e = output_string_e d s: Outputs the string s to d,
      and transitions to `Done() when done.
val output_bytes_e : [< out_device ] -> Stdlib.Bytes.t -> unit Uq_engines.enginelet e = output_bytes_e d s: Outputs the bytes s to d,
      and transitions to `Done() when done.
val output_memory_e : [< out_device ] -> Netsys_mem.memory -> unit Uq_engines.enginelet e = output_string_e d m: Outputs the bigarray m to d,
      and transitions to `Done() when done.
val output_netbuffer_e : [< out_device ] -> Netbuffer.t -> unit Uq_engines.enginelet e = output_string_e d b: Outputs the contents of b to d,
      and transitions to `Done() when done.
val write_eof_e : [< out_device ] -> bool Uq_engines.enginelet e = write_eof_e d: For devices supporting half-open connections,
      this engine writes the EOF marker and transitions to 
      `Done true. For other devices nothing happens, and the engine
      transitions to `Done false. (In the latter case, the only way to
      signal EOF is to shut down the device, see below.)
Note that the effect of write_eof_e cannot be buffered. Because
      of this, the io_buffer flushes all data first (i.e. write_eof_e
      implies the effect of flush_e).
val copy_e : ?small_buffer:bool ->
       ?len:int ->
       ?len64:int64 ->
       [< in_device ] -> [< out_device ] -> int64 Uq_engines.enginelet e = copy_e d_in d_out: Copies data from d_in to d_out,
      and transitions to `Done n when all data is copied (where
      n are the number of copied bytes).
      By default, d_in is read until end of file. If len is passed,
      at most this number of bytes are copied. The length can also be given
      as int64 in len64.
By setting small_buffer, the copy buffer consists only of a 
      single page. Normally, a bigger buffer is allocated.
val flush_e : [< out_device ] -> unit Uq_engines.enginelet e = flush_e d: If d has an internal buffer, all data is
      written out to d. If there is no such buffer, this is a no-op.
      When done, the engine transitions to `Done().
val out_obj_channel : [< out_device ] -> float -> Netchannels.out_obj_channelout_obj_channel d timeout: Creates a synchronous channel from the
      output device.
If the timeout is encountered, this function raises Uq_engines.Timeout.
val io_obj_channel : ?start_pos_in:int ->
       ?start_pos_out:int ->
       [< io_device ] -> float -> Netchannels.raw_io_channelio_obj_channel d timeout: Creates a bidirectional synch channel
      from d. This channel can be half-closed, and a close_out without
      close_in triggers write_eof_e on the device.
The shutdown is the last part of the protocol. Although it is often done autonomously by the kernel, this interface supports user-implemented shutdowns (e.g. for SSL).
The shutdown can be skipped, and the device can be inactivated immediately. For some devices, the other side of the I/O stream will then see an error, though.
The shutdown is always for both the input and the output circuit of the device.
val shutdown_e : ?linger:float ->
       [< `Async_in of Uq_engines.async_in_channel * Unixqueue.event_system
        | `Async_out of Uq_engines.async_out_channel * Unixqueue.event_system
        | `Buffer_in of in_buffer
        | `Buffer_out of out_buffer
        | `Count_in of (int -> unit) * in_device
        | `Count_out of (int -> unit) * out_device

        | `Polldescr of Netsys.fd_style * Unix.file_descr * Unixqueue.event_system ] ->
       unit Uq_engines.enginePerforms a regular shutdown of the device. The linger argument
      may be used to configure a non-default linger timeout.
      The engine transitions to `Done() when done.
The shutdown also releases the OS resources (closes the descriptor etc.), but only if successful.
Note that the effect of shutdown_e cannot be buffered. Because
      of this, the io_buffer flushes all data first (i.e. shutdown_e
      implies the effect of flush_e). Input data available in the 
      buffer can still be read after the shutdown.
val inactivate : [< `Async_in of Uq_engines.async_in_channel * Unixqueue.event_system
        | `Async_out of Uq_engines.async_out_channel * Unixqueue.event_system
        | `Buffer_in of in_buffer
        | `Buffer_out of out_buffer

        | `Polldescr of Netsys.fd_style * Unix.file_descr * Unixqueue.event_system ] ->
       unitReleases the OS resources immediately. This is the right thing to do when aborting the communication, or for cleanup after an I/O error. It is wrong to inactivate after a successful shutdown, because the shutdown already includes the inactivation.
val create_in_buffer : ?small_buffer:bool -> [< in_device ] -> in_bufferProvides a buffered version of the in_device.
By setting small_buffer, the initial input buffer consists only of a 
      single page. Normally, a bigger buffer is allocated.
val in_buffer_length : in_buffer -> intThe length
val in_buffer_blit : in_buffer -> int -> Netsys_types.tbuffer -> int -> int -> unitBlit to a string or memory buffer
val in_buffer_fill_e : in_buffer -> bool Uq_engines.engineRequests that the buffer is filled more than currently, and
      transitions to `Done eof when there is more data, or the
      EOF is reached (eof=true).
val create_out_buffer : ?small_buffer:bool ->
       max:int option -> [< out_device ] -> out_bufferProvides a buffered version of the out_device. The argument
      max is the maximum number of bytes to buffer. This can also be
      set to None meaning no limit.
By setting small_buffer, the initial output buffer consists only of a 
      single page. Normally, a bigger buffer is allocated.
val filter_out_buffer : max:int option ->
       Netchannels.io_obj_channel -> [< out_device ] -> out_bufferfilter_out_buffer ~max p d: The data written to this device is
      redirected via pipe p and finally written to d.
