Synchronous Client Interface

Functions
int	afdt_sync_client (const char *fname, const uint8_t *request, uint32_t request_length, uint8_t *response, uint32_t *response_length, int *received_fd, const struct timeval *timeout, struct afdt_error_t *err)
	Request a file descriptor from a server.

Detailed Description

The synchronous interface provides a very simple function allowing clients to communicate with servers using the asynchronous interface. The function is blocking, but supports an optional timeout.
