Module tor_cell::chancell

Messages sent over Tor channels

A ‘channel’ is a direct connection between a tor client and a relay, or between two relays. Current channels all use TLS.

This module implements the ChanCell type, which is the encoding for data sent over a channel. It also encodes and decodes various channel messages, which are the types of data conveyed over a channel.
