/**
* \defgroup fstrm_control fstrm_control
*
* `fstrm_control` is an interface for encoding and decoding Frame Streams
* control frames.
*
* Two types of frames are possible in a Frame Streams byte stream: **data
* frames** and **control frames**. Both are variable length byte sequences
* prefixed by a 32-bit big endian unsigned integer (the **frame length**)
* specifying the length of the following byte sequence. If this frame length
* value is greater than zero, the **frame length** specifies the **data frame
* length**, and a data frame follows it. If the frame length is zero (i.e., it
* is the four byte sequence `00 00 00 00`), this is an **escape sequence**,
* which means that a control frame follows. The control frame itself is
* prefixed by a 32-bit big endian unsigned integer (the **control frame
* length**) specifying the length of the following **control frame payload**.
*
* There are two types of control frames used for uni-directional streams:
* `START` and `STOP`. These control frame types bracket the stream of data
* frames. `START` indicates the beginning of the stream and communicates
* metadata about the stream to follow, and `STOP` indicates the end of the
* stream.
*
* Bi-directional streams make use of three additional control frame types:
* `READY`, `ACCEPT`, and `FINISH`. These control frame types are used in a
* simple handshake protocol between sender and receiver.
*
* A uni-directional Frame Streams byte stream normally consists of the
* following:
*
* 1. The `START` control frame.
* 2. A sequence of zero or more data frames or control frames that are not of
* the control frame types `START`, `STOP`, `ACCEPT`, `READY`, or
* `FINISH`.
* 3. The `STOP` control frame.
*
* The `START` and `STOP` control frames are not optional. The `START` control
* frame must appear at the beginning of the byte stream, and the `STOP` control
* frame must appear at the end of the byte stream. (If the byte stream has an
* end.) `START` control frames must not appear anywhere other than at the
* beginning of the byte stream, and `STOP` control frames must not appear
* anywhere other than at the end of the byte stream. Only one `START` control
* frame and only one `STOP` control frame may appear in a Frame Streams byte
* stream.
*
* Control frames may optionally include zero or more **control frame fields**.
* There is currently one type of control frame field defined: `CONTENT_TYPE`.
* This field specifies a variable length byte sequence describing the encoding
* of data frames that appear in the Frame Streams byte stream. This field is
* used by cooperating programs to unambiguously identify how to interpret the
* data frames in a particular Frame Streams byte stream. For instance, this
* field may specify a particular schema to use to interpret the data frames
* appearing in the byte stream. Zero, one, or more `CONTENT_TYPE` fields may
* appear in `READY` or `ACCEPT` control frames. Zero or one `CONTENT_TYPE`
* fields may appear in `START` control frames. No `CONTENT_TYPE` fields may
* appear in `STOP` or `FINISH` control frames.
*
* A uni-directional Frame Streams encoder would normally produce a byte stream
* as follows:
*
* 1. Write the `START` **control frame**.
* + At the start of the byte stream, write the four byte **escape
* sequence** `00 00 00 00` that precedes control frames.
* + Write the **control frame length** as a 32-bit big endian unsigned
* integer.
* + Write the **control frame payload**. It must be a `START` control
* frame. It may optionally specify a `CONTENT_TYPE` field.
* 2. Write zero or more **data frames**.
* 3. Write the `STOP` **control frame**.
* + At the start of the byte stream, write the four byte **escape
* sequence** `00 00 00 00` that precedes control frames.
* + Write the **control frame length** as a 32-bit big endian unsigned
* integer.
* + Write the **control frame payload**. It must be a `STOP` control
* frame.
*
* A uni-directional Frame Streams decoder would normally process the byte
* stream as follows:
*
* 1. Read the `START` control frame.
* + At the start of the byte stream, read the four byte **escape
* sequence** `00 00 00 00` that precedes control frames.
* + Read the 32-bit big endian unsigned integer specifying the **control
* frame length**.
* + Decode the **control frame payload**. It must be a `START` control
* frame. It may optionally specify a `CONTENT_TYPE` field.
* 2. Repeatedly read data frames or control frames following the `START`
* control frame.
* + Read the **frame length**, a 32-bit big endian unsigned integer.
* + If the **frame length** is zero, a control frame follows:
* + Read the 32-bit big endian unsigned integer specifying the
* **control frame length**.
* + Decode the **control frame payload**. If it is a `STOP`
* control frame, the end of the Frame Streams byte stream has
* occurred, and no frames follow. Break out of the decoding loop
* and halt processing. (`READY`, `ACCEPT`, `START`, and `FINISH`
* may not occur here. For forward compatibility, control frames of
* types other than the types `READY`, `ACCEPT`, `START`, `STOP`,
* and `FINISH` must be ignored here. No control frames specified
* in the future may alter the encoding of succeeding frames.)
* + If the **frame length** is non-zero, it specifies the number of bytes
* in the following **data frame**. Consume these bytes from the byte
* stream.
*
* The functions fstrm_control_encode() and fstrm_control_decode() are provided
* to encode and decode control frames. See the detailed descriptions of those
* functions for code examples showing their usage.
