/** @file chirp_stream.h
Streaming I/O interface.
This module implements <i>streaming I/O</i> against a Chirp server.
In this model, the user can read and write small amounts of data
in a continuous stream to or from a remote file.
This interface gives higher data throughput than the @ref chirp_reli.h
interface, but it is <i>unreliable</i>.  If a streaming connection is
lost, the client must close it and start all over again.  If reliability
is more important than performance, use the @ref chirp_reli.h interface instead.
