"""@package Editra.src.ed_ipc

Classes and utilities for handling IPC between running instances of Editra. The
IPC is done through sockets using the TCP protocol. Message packets have a
specified format and authentication method that is described in L{EdIpcServer}.

@section protocol Remote Control Protocol:

This server and its relationship with the main application object allows for
some limited remote control of Editra. The server's basic message protocol
requirements are as follows.

@verbatim
SESSION_KEY;xml;MSGEND
@endverbatim

Where the SESSION_KEY is the unique authentication key created by the app that
started the server. This key is stored in the user profile and only valid for
the current running session of Editra. The MSGEND indicator is the L{MSGEND}
string defined in this file (*EDEND*). If both of these parts of the message
are found and correct the server will forward the messages that are packed in
between to the app.

@section format Message Format:
@verbatim
<edipc>
   <filelist>
      <file name="absolute_filepath"/>
   </filelist>
   <arglist>
      <arg name="g" value="2"/>
   </arglist>
</edipc>
@endverbatim

    The _AuthenticationKey_ is the same as the key that started the server it
    is used to validate that messages are coming from a legitimate source.

    _Message Data_ is a string of data where items are separated by a single
    ';' character. If you use L{SendCommands} to communicate with the server
    then this message separators are handled internally by that method.

    L{MSGEND} is the token to signify that the client is finished sending
    commands to the server. When using L{SendCommands} this is also
