;;; Commentary:

;; This file manages receiving a stream asynchronously, parsing it
;; into transactions, and then calling the associated handler function
;; upon the completion of each transaction.

;; Our basic structure is the queue/process/buffer triple.  Each entry
;; of the queue part is a list of question, regexp, closure, and
;; function that is consed to the last element.

;; A transaction queue may be created by calling `tq-create'.

;; A request may be added to the queue by calling `tq-enqueue'.  If
;; the `delay-question' argument is non-nil, we will wait to send the
;; question to the process until it has finished sending other input.
;; Otherwise, once a request is enqueued, we send the given question
;; immediately to the process.

;; We then buffer bytes from the process until we see the regexp that
;; was provided in the call to `tq-enqueue'.  Then we call the
;; provided function with the closure and the collected bytes.  If we
;; have indicated that the question from the next transaction was not
;; sent immediately, send it at this point, awaiting the response.

;;; Code:

;;; Accessors

;; This part looks like (queue . (process . buffer))
(defun tq-queue               (tq) (car tq))
(defun tq-process             (tq) (car (cdr tq)))
(defun tq-buffer              (tq) (cdr (cdr tq)))

;; The structure of `queue' is as follows
;; ((question regexp closure . fn)
;;  <other queue entries>)
;; question: string to send to the process
(defun tq-queue-head-question (tq) (car (car (tq-queue tq))))
;; regexp: regular expression that matches the end of a response from
;; the process
(defun tq-queue-head-regexp   (tq) (car (cdr (car (tq-queue tq)))))
;; closure: additional data to pass to the function
(defun tq-queue-head-closure  (tq) (car (cdr (cdr (car (tq-queue tq))))))
;; fn: function to call upon receiving a complete response from the
;; process
(defun tq-queue-head-fn       (tq) (cdr (cdr (cdr (car (tq-queue tq))))))

;; Determine whether queue is empty
(defun tq-queue-empty         (tq) (not (tq-queue tq)))

REGEXP is a regular expression to match the entire answer;

the process has finished replying to any previous questions.
This produces more reliable results with some processes."
