independent data channels. Each channel may be a file, pipe, device
(serial line etc. or a pseudo terminal), a socket (UNIX, IP4, IP6 -
raw, UDP, TCP), an SSL socket, proxy CONNECT connection, a file
descriptor (stdin etc.), the GNU line editor (readline), a program,
or a combination of two of these. These modes include generation of
