     This module exports on request its two only functions, "msend" and

+PROTOCOL
+    Each byte of the data string is converted into its bits sequence, with
+    bits of highest weight coming first. All those bits sequences are put
+    into the same order as the characters occur in the stream. The emitter
+    computes then the longuest sequence of successives 0 (say, "m") and 1

+
+    If C(m > n), we take "n+1" times 1 follewed by 1 0 ;
+    Otherwise, we take "m+1" times 0 follewed by 1 1.
+
+    The signal is then formed by concatenating the signature, the data bits
+    and the reversed signature (i.e. the bits of the signature in the
+    reverse order).
+
+    The receiver knows that the signature has been sent when it has catched
+    at least one 0 and one 1. The signal is completely transferred when it
+    has received for the first time the whole reversed signature.

+    This type of IPC is highly unreliable. Send little data at slow speed if
