+ * Contains declaration of an API that encapsulates communication protocol with
+ * SdkController running on an Android device.
+ *
+ * SdkController is used to provide:
+ *
+ * - Realistic sensor emulation.
+ * - Multi-touch emulation.
+ * - Open for other types of emulation.
+ *
+ * The idea behind this type of emulation is such that there is an actual
+ * Android device that is connected via USB to the host running the emulator.
+ * On the device there is an SdkController service running that enables
+ * communication between an Android application that gathers information required
+ * by the emulator, and transmits that info to the emulator.
+ *
+ * SdkController service on the device, and SDKCtlSocket API implemented here
+ * implement the exchange protocol between an Android application, and emulation
+ * engine running inside the emulator.
+ *
+ * In turn, the exchange protocol is implemented on top of asynchronous socket
+ * communication (abstracted in AsyncSocket protocol implemented in
+ * android/async-socket.*). It means that connection, and all data transfer
+ * (both, in, and out) are completely asynchronous, and results of each operation
+ * are reported through callbacks.
+ *
+ * Essentially, this entire API implements two types of protocols:
+ *
+ * - Connection protocol.
+ * - Data exchange protocol.
+ *
+ * 1. Connection protocol.
+ *
+ * Connecting to SdkController service on the attached device can be broken down
+ * into two phases:
+ * - Connecting to a TCP socket.
+ * - Sending a "handshake" query to the SdkController.
+ *
+ * 1.1. Connecting to the socket.
+ *
+ * TCP socket connection with SdkController is enabled by using adb port
+ * forwarding. SdkController is always listening to a local abstract socket named
+ * 'android.sdk.controller', so to enable connecting to it from the host, run
+ *
+ *   adb forward tcp:<port> localabstract: android.sdk.controller
+ *
+ * After that TCP socket for the requested port can be used to connect to
+ * SdkController, and connecting to it is no different than connecting to any
+ * socket server. Except for one thing: adb port forwarding is implemented in
+ * such a way, that socket_connect will always succeed, even if there is no
+ * server listening to that port on the other side of connection. Moreover,
+ * even socked_send will succeed in this case, so the only way to ensure that
+ * SdkController in deed is listening is to exchange a handshake with it:
+ * Fortunatelly, an attempt to read from forwarded TCP port on condition that
+ * there is no listener on the oher side will fail.
+ *
+ * 1.2. Handshake query.
+ *
+ * Handshake query is a special type of query that SDKCtlSocket sends to the
+ * SdkController upon successful socket connection. This query served two
+ * purposes:
+ * - Informs the SdkController about host endianness. This information is
+ *   important, because SdkController needs it in order to format its messages
+ *   with proper endianness.
+ * - Ensures that SdkController is in deed listening on the other side of the
+ *   connected socket.
+ *
+ * Connection with SdkController is considered to be successfuly established when
+ * SdkController responds to the handshake query, thus, completing the connection.
+ *
+ * 2. Data exchange protocol.
+ *
+ * As it was mentioned above, all data transfer in this API is completely
+ * asynchronous, and result of each data transfer is reported via callbacks.
+ * This also complicates destruction of data involved in exchange, since in an
+ * asynchronous environment it's hard to control the lifespan of an object, its
+ * owner, and who and when is responsible to free resources allocated for the
+ * transfer. To address this issue, all the descriptors that this API operates
+ * with are referenced on use / released after use, and get freed when reference
+ * counter for them drops to zero, indicating that there is no component that is
+ * interested in that particular descriptor.
+ *
+ * There are three types of data in the exchange protocol:
+ * - A packet - the simplest type of data that doesn't require any replies.
+ * - A query - A message that require a reply, and
+ * - A query reply - A message that delivers query reply.
