/*!
A library for low level message passing

To send new messages, the clients place a new message at the end of their
`client_out_mem`. If the current map is filled up, they place an end of page (`EOP`)
msg and alloc a new [`ShMem`].
Once the broker mapped this same page, it flags it as safe for unmapping.

```text
[client0]        [client1]    ...    [clientN]
  |                  |                 /
[client0_out] [client1_out] ... [clientN_out]
  |                 /                /
  |________________/                /
  |________________________________/
 \|/
[broker]
```

After the broker received a new message for clientN, (`clientN_out->current_id
!= last_message->message_id`) the broker will copy the message content to its
own, centralized page.

The clients periodically check (`current_broadcast_shmem->current_id !=
last_message->message_id`) for new incoming messages. If the page is filled up,
the broker instead creates a new page and places an end of page (`EOP`)
message in its queue. The `EOP` buf contains the new description to
access the shared map. The clients then switch over to read from that new
current map.

```text
[broker]
  |
[current_broadcast_shmem]
  |
  |___________________________________
  |_________________                  \
  |                 \                  \
  |                  |                  |
 \|/                \|/                \|/
[client0]        [client1]    ...    [clientN]
```

In the future, if we would need zero copy, the `current_broadcast_shmem` could instead
list the `client_out_shmem` ID an offset for each message. In that case, the clients
also need to create a new [`ShMem`] each time their bufs are filled up.


To use, you will have to create a broker using [`LlmpBroker::new()`].
Then, create some [`LlmpClient`]`s` in other threads and register them
with the main thread using [`LlmpBroker::register_client`].
Finally, call [`LlmpBroker::loop_forever()`].

For broker2broker communication, all messages are forwarded via network sockets.

Check out the `llmp_test` example in ./examples, or build it with `cargo run --example llmp_test`.
