//! Copyright (c) 2016-2017, The Tor Project, Inc. */ //! See LICENSE for licensing information */ //! Versioning information for different pieces of the Tor protocol. //! //! The below description is taken from src/rust/protover.c, which is currently //! enabled by default. We are in the process of experimenting with Rust in //! tor, and this protover module is implemented to help achieve this goal. //! //! Starting in version 0.2.9.3-alpha, Tor places separate version numbers on //! each of the different components of its protocol. Relays use these numbers //! to advertise what versions of the protocols they can support, and clients //! use them to find what they can ask a given relay to do. Authorities vote //! on the supported protocol versions for each relay, and also vote on the //! which protocols you should have to support in order to be on the Tor //! network. All Tor instances use these required/recommended protocol versions //! to tell what level of support for recent protocols each relay has, and //! to decide whether they should be running given their current protocols. //! //! The main advantage of these protocol versions numbers over using Tor //! version numbers is that they allow different implementations of the Tor //! protocols to develop independently, without having to claim compatibility //! with specific versions of Tor. #[deny(missing_docs)] extern crate libc; extern crate smartlist; extern crate external; extern crate tor_allocate; extern crate tor_util; pub mod errors; mod protover; pub mod ffi; pub use protover::*;
