Management Component Transport Protocol (MCTP) support
------------------------------------------------------
This crate provides a set of generic types and traits for MCTP support in Rust.
It provides:
* A few base types (`Eid`, `Tag`, `MsgType`, `MsgIC`) to match MCTP protocol
definitions.
* Traits to abstract communication implementation details. These are
`ReqChannel`, `Listener`, and `RespChannel`. Async equivalents are
`AsyncReqChannel`, `AsyncListener`, and `AsyncRespChannel`.
* Some support types (`mctp::Error`, `mctp::Result`) for the traits.
There are two typical interfaces to the crate:
* Transport implementations: code that provides implementations of the traits.
These interface to hardware (either directly, in some
embedded environments, or through an operating system interface), and
provide the base message send/receive functions.
* Application implementations: code that uses makes use of the traits,
in order to provide some MCTP-based functionality.
API status
----------
We don't expect much API breakage in future, though changes may be made where
it makes sense.
Any API changes will be appropriately versioned.
