/**
 * @defgroup liblldpctl liblldpctl: library to interface with lldpd
 *
 * `liblldpctl` allows any program to convenienty query and modify the behaviour
 * of a running lldpd daemon.
 *
 * To use this library, use `pkg-config` to get the appropriate options:
 *   * `pkg-config --libs lldpctl` for `LIBS` or `LDFLAGS`
 *   * `pkg-config --cflags lldpctl` for `CFLAGS`
 *
 * @warning This library is tightly coupled with lldpd. The library to use
 *   should be the one shipped with lldpd. Clients of the library are then tied
 *   by the classic API/ABI rules and may be compiled separatly.
 *
 * There are two important structures in this library: @c lldpctl_conn_t which
 * represents a connection and @c lldpctl_atom_t which represents a piece of
 * information. Those types are opaque. No direct access to them should be done.
 *
 * The library is expected to be reentrant and therefore thread-safe. It is
 * however not expected that a connection to be used in several thread
 * simultaneously. This also applies to the different pieces of information
 * gathered through this connection. Several connection to lldpd can be used
 * simultaneously.
 *
 * The first step is to establish a connection. See @ref lldpctl_connection for
 * more information about this. The next step is to query the lldpd daemon. See
 * @ref lldpctl_atoms on how to do this.
 *
 * `liblldpctl` tries to handle errors in a coherent way. Any function returning
 * a pointer will return @c NULL on error and the last error can be retrieved
 * through @ref lldpctl_last_error() function. Most functions returning integers
 * will return a negative integer representing the error if something goes
 * wrong. The use of @ref lldpctl_last_error() allows one to check if this is a
 * real error if there is a doubt. See @ref lldpctl_errors_logs for more about
 * this.

 *
 * Information retrieved from lldpd is represented as an atom.
 *
 * This is an opaque structure that can be passed along some functions to
 * transmit chassis, ports, VLAN and other information related to LLDP. Most
 * information are extracted using @c lldpctl_atom_get(), @c
 * lldpctl_atom_get_str(), @c lldpctl_atom_get_buffer() or @c
 * lldpctl_atom_get_int(), unless some IO with lldpd is needed to retrieve the
 * requested information. In this case, there exists an appropriate function to
 * convert the "deferred" atom into a normal one (like @c lldpctl_get_port()).
 *
 * For some information, setters are also available: @c lldpctl_atom_set(), @c
 * lldpctl_atom_set_str(), @c lldpctl_atom_set_buffer() or @c
 * lldpctl_atom_set_int(). Unlike getters, some of those may require IO to
 * achieve their goal.
 *
 * An atom is reference counted. The semantics are quite similar to Python and
 * you must be careful of the ownership of a reference. It is possible to own a
 * reference by calling @c lldpctl_atom_inc_ref(). Once the atom is not needed
 * any more, you can abandon ownership with @c lldpctl_atom_dec_ref(). Unless
 * documented otherwise, a function returning an atom will return a new
 * reference (the ownership is assigned to the caller, no need to call @c
 * lldpctl_atom_inc_ref()). Unless documented otherwise, when providing an atom
 * to a function, the atom is usually borrowed (no change in reference
 * counting). Currently, no function will steal ownership.
 *
 * It is quite important to use the reference counting functions
 * correctly. Segfaults or memory leaks may occur otherwise. Once the reference
 * count reaches 0, the atom is immediately freed. Reusing it will likely lead
 * to memory corruption.

/**
 * Piece of information that can be retrieved from/written to an atom.
 *
 * Each piece of information can potentially be retrieved as an atom (A), a
 * string (S), a buffer (B) or an integer (I). Additionaly, when an information
 * can be retrieved as an atom, it is usually iterable (L). When an atom can be
 * retrieved as a string and as an additional type, the string is expected to be
 * formatted. For example, the MAC address of a local port can be retrieved as a
 * buffer and a string. As a string, you'll get something like
 * "00:11:22:33:44:55". Also, all values that can be get as an integer or a
 * buffer can be get as a string too. There is no special formatting in this
 * case. "(BS)" means that the string get a special appropriate format.
 *
 * The name of a key is an indication on the type of atom that information can
 * be extracted from. For example, @c lldpctl_k_med_policy_type can be extracted
 * from an atom you got by iterating on @c lldpctl_k_port_med_policies. On the
 * other hand, @c lldpctl_k_port_descr and @c lldpctl_k_chassis can be retrieved
 * from an atom retrieved either by iterating @c lldpctl_k_port_neighbors or
 * with @c lldpctl_get_port().
 *
 * Some values may be written. They are marked with (W). Such a change may or
 * may not be transmitted immediatly. If they are not transmitted immediatly,
 * this means that the resulting atom should be written to another atom. For
 * example, when writting @c lldpctl_k_med_policy_tagged, you need to write the
 * resulting atom to @c lldpctl_k_port_med_policies. If the change is
 * transmitted immediatly, you need to check the error status of the connection
 * to know if it has been transmitted correctly. Notably, if you get @c
 * LLDPCTL_ERR_WOULDBLOCK, you need to try again later. Usually, changes are
 * transmitted immediatly. The exception are changes that need to be grouped to
 * be consistent, like a LLDP MED location. When a change is transmitted
 * immediatly, it is marked with (O). @c lldpctl_atom_set_str() may accept a @c
 * NULL value. This case is marked with (N) and usually reset the item to the
 * default value or no value.
 *
 * Some values may also be created. They are flagged with (C). This only applies
 * to elements that can be iterated (L) and written (W). The element created
 * still needs to be appended to the list by being written to it. The creation
 * is done with @c lldpctl_atom_create().
 *
 * An atom marked with (S) can be retrieved as a string only. It cannot be
 * written. An atom marked with (IS) can be retrieved as an integer and features
 * an appropriate representation as a string (usually, the name of a constant)
 * which is more meaningful than just the integer. An atom marked as (I) can be
 * retrieved and as a string. In the later case, this is just a string
 * representation of the integer. An atom marked with (AL) can be retrieved as
 * an atom only and can be iterated over. This is usually a list of things. An
 * atom marked (I,W) can be read as an integer or a string and can be written as
 * an integer. The change would not be commited until the atom is written to the
 * nearest atom supporting (A,WO) operation (eventually with an indirection, i.e
 * first write to a (A,W), then to a (A,WO)).
