This library offers a lightweight way for applications protocols to version themselves. The more protocols that add themselves to Known_protocol, the nicer error messages we will get when connecting to a service while using the wrong protocol.

  t

val negotiate : 
  allow_legacy_peer:bool ->
  us:t ->
  peer:t ->
  int Core_kernel.Or_error.t

negotiate ~allow_legacy_peer ~us ~peer inspects the magic numbers of us and peer. If the magic numbers match, the highest shared version number is returned.

If allow_legacy_peer then the magic number of peer is assumed to be us if no magic number exists.

val contains_magic_prefix : 
  protocol:Protocol_version_header__.Known_protocol.t ->
  bool Core_kernel.Bin_prot.Type_class.reader

contains_magic_prefix reads a bin_protted value of type t and returns a boolean saying whether this magic number was observed.

val any_magic_prefix : 
  Protocol_version_header__.Known_protocol.t option
    Core_kernel.Bin_prot.Type_class.reader

any_magic_prefix reads the magic number for one of the known protocols.
