30 ;; manages receiving a stream asynchronously,
31 ;; parsing it into transactions, and then calling
32 ;; handler functions
33
34 ;; Our basic structure is the queue/process/buffer triple. Each entry
35 ;; of the queue is a regexp/closure/function triple. We buffer
36 ;; bytes from the process until we see the regexp at the head of the
37 ;; queue. Then we call the function with the closure and the
38 ;; collected bytes.
