/*----- Protocol definition -----------------------------------------------*
 *
 * The protocol is simple and text-based.  The client connects to the
 * server's socket and sends `request lines', each of which elicits one or
 * more `response lines' from the server.  Request and response lines contain
 * whitespace-separated fields, and are terminated by a single linefeed.  The
 * final field on a line may contain whitespace.  The first field describes
 * the type of the line.  The type field is not case-sensitive, although
 * writing them in uppercase is conventional.
 *
 * The requests are:
 *
 * HELP
 *	Provide (very) brief help with the pixie protocol.
 *
 * LIST
 *	Return a list of passphrases currently stored, together with expiry
 *	information.
 *
 * PASS tag [expire]
 *	Request the passphrase named `tag' from the pixie.
 *
 * VERIFY tag [expire]
 *	Request a new passphrase, which therefore requires verification.
 *
 * FLUSH [tag]
 *	Flush the passphrase named `tag', or all passphrases, from memory.
 *
 * QUIT
 *	Requests that the pixie close down.
 *
 * Response lines are as follows:
 *
 * OK [phrase]
 *	Request completed successfully.  If a passphrase was requested, it is
 *	returned by the pixie.  This is the final response to a request.
 *
 * FAIL error
 *	Reports an error.  The message given is intended to be
 *	human-readable.  This is the final response to a request.
 *
 * INFO message
 *	Reports a human-readable informational message.  Further responses
 *	follow.  
 *
 * ITEM tag expires
 *	Reports a passphrase in response to a LIST request.  One ITEM
 *	response is given for each passphrase currently in memory.  An OK or
 *	FAIL response follows the last ITEM.
 *
 * Expiry times in requests may be given in any format acceptable to
 * `getdate'.  Expiry times in responses are returned in ISO format
 * (YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS ZZZ) and are expressed relative to local time.
