//! # Namaste
//!
//! ## Project
//!
//! - Repository: <https://bitbucket.org/haibison/namaste-rs>
//! - License: [Free Public License 1.0.0](https://opensource.org/licenses/FPL-1.0.0)
//! - _This project follows [Semantic Versioning 2.0.0]_
//!
//! ## Features
//!
//! - Handling locks amongst processes via TCP.
//!
//! ## Design
//!
//! ### Unique identifier
//!
//! A unique identifier (UID) is a 64-byte array, which matches an [SHA3-512][wiki:SHA3] hash.
//!
//! ### Server and client
//!
//! - Server starts on a fixed TCP port, and listens for clients.
//!
//! - When a new client connects to, they are expected to send 3 pieces of information:
//!
//!     + Global UID. This UID is used within a lifetime of the server, as an identification of the client.
//!     + Handshake UID. This UID is used for the server to communicate with client.
//!     + Client's local TCP server port, consisting of 2 bytes, in big-endian order.
//!
//! - Server then connects to the client's local server, sends the handshake UID, reads a UID and compares it with the first one above.
//!
//! - If the verification passes, server stores client UID in memory, and sends back _one non-zero byte_ to client.
//!
//! - If the verification does _not_ passes, server sends back _one zero byte_ to client.
//!
//! ## Usage
//!
//! - You should only rely on this library for _limited small amount_ of locks between your program's processes. For instance, this library can
//!   help with single-instance designed programs.
//! - Client side will ask system to grant it a random TCP server port. On most systems, TCP ports are _limited_. So it's highly recommended
//!   that you should _not_ rely too much on this library (client side).
//!
//! ## FAQ
//!
//! ### Why not Unix Domain Socket?
//!
//! UDS has a good design, but its implementation has some **serious** flaws:
//!
//! - Already-bound file path _can be deleted_. Any new binding to that path will _silently take control_ of current one.
//! - Linux has an extension to UDS, which is called abstract sockets. Its design is very good, and can totally replace this library. However
//!   its documentation clearly states that it is _not_ portable.
//!
//! ### Why not file locks?
//!
//! - On Unix, locked files can still be deleted.
//!
//! ## Examples
//!
//! ```ignore
//! use namaste::{Uid, client, server};
//!
//! // It is expected that the system _already_ has Namaste server running!
//!
//! const NAMASTE_UID: Uid = [...];
//!
//! fn main() {
//!     // UID must be a constant, however, you should generate new handshake UID per
//!     // each session of your program.
//!     // That means handshake UID should only be valid within lifetime of the process.
//!     let handshake_uid = ...;
//!
//!     match client::book(
//!         NAMASTE_UID, handshake_uid, server::DEFAULT_PORT, namaste::DEFAULT_RW_TIMEOUT,
//!     ) {
//!         Ok(true) => run_main_job(),
//!         Ok(false) => eprintln!("Another instance is running"),
//!         Err(err) => eprintln!("Failed connecting to Namaste server: {}", err),
//!     };
//! }
//! ```
