+/* rio.c is a simple stream-oriented I/O abstraction that provides an interface
+ * to write code that can consume/produce data using different concrete input
+ * and output devices. For instance the same rdb.c code using the rio abstraction
+ * can be used to read and write the RDB format using in-memory buffers or files.
+ *
+ * A rio object provides the following methods:
+ * read: read from stream.
+ * write: write to stream.
+ * tell: get the current offset.
+ *
+ * It is also possible to set a 'checksum' method that is used by rio.c in order
+ * to compute a checksum of the data written or read, or to query the rio object
+ * for the current checksum. */
