 *   FILE
 *      fe-misc.c
 *
 *   DESCRIPTION
 *       miscellaneous useful functions
 *
 * The communication routines here are analogous to the ones in
 * backend/libpq/pqcomm.c and backend/libpq/pqformat.c, but operate
 * in the considerably different environment of the frontend libpq.
 * In particular, we work with a bare nonblock-mode socket, rather than
 * a stdio stream, so that we can avoid unwanted blocking of the application.
 *
 * XXX: MOVE DEBUG PRINTOUT TO HIGHER LEVEL.  As is, block and restart
 * will cause repeat printouts.
 *
 * We must speak the same transmitted data representations as the backend
 * routines.
