While this documentation does not aim to give an in-depth explanation of the two, it will cover some basics, in order for you to be able to roll your own client.</p> <h2 id="standard-streams"><strong>standard streams</strong><a class="anchor" href="#standard-streams">#</a></h2> <p>Standard streams are a set of preconnected communication channels. Of said channels, there are three: input, output and error. It is quite simple — the client application writes to the daemon&rsquo;s input channel, and reads from the daemon&rsquo;s output and error channel.</p>
