Telnet client
This is a Telnet client providing the basic Telnet services. It supports sending and receiving data (asynchronously), and the negotiation of Telnet options, but it does not implement any option.
exception Telnet_protocol of exn
Wrapper for exceptions that already passed the exception handler.

A telnet_command is the interpretation of the octets in a Telnet
 session, i.e. it is one level above the octet stream. See RFC 854
 for an explanation what the commands mean. Telnet_data represents
 the data chunks between the commands. Note that you do not need
 to double octets having value 255; this is done automatically.
 Telnet_unknown represents any command not covered by RFC 854, for
 example the End-of-record-mark (introduced in RFC 885) would be
 Telnet_unknown '\239'. Telnet_eof represents the end of the octet
 stream, useable in both directions. Telnet_timeout is added to the
 input queue if I/O has not been happened for the configured period
 of time.

telnet_options: modifies the behaviour of the client. Do not mix these
 options up with the options negotiated with the remote side.
connection_timeout:   After this period of time (in seconds) a
                           Telnet_timeout pseudo-command is added to
                           the input queue, and the connection is
                           aborted.verbose_input:        Enables printing of input events to Netlog.Debug.verbose_output:       Enables printing of output events to Netlog.Debugtype | | | Telnet_binary | (* | see RFC 856 | *) |

telnet_negotiated_option: names for the most common options, and
 the generic name Telnet_option for other options.
type | | | Not_negotiated | 
| | | Accepted | 
| | | Rejected | 
An option has one of three states:
Not_negotiated: There was no negotiation about the option. This means
   that the option is turned off (but this client is allowed to reject
   it explicitly)Accepted: Both sides have accepted the option.Rejected: One side has rejected the option. This also means that the
   option is off, but the client refuses to send further acknoledgements
   that the option is off (to avoid endless negotiation loops).val char_of_option : telnet_negotiated_option -> charConverts the option name to the character representing it on the octet-stream level.
val option_of_char : char -> telnet_negotiated_optionConverts a character representing an option to the internal option name.
type | | | Telnet_connect of  | 
| | | Telnet_socket of  | 
Connectors:
Telnet_connect(host,port): The client connects to this port.Telnet_socket s: The client uses an already connected socket.Why Telnet_socket? Telnet is a symmetrical protocol; client and servers
 implement the same protocol features (the only difference is the
 environment: a client is typically connected with a real terminal; a server
 is connected with a pseudo terminal). This simply means that this
 implementation of a client can also be used as a server implementation.
 You need only to add code which accepts new connections and which passes
 these connections over to a telnet_session object via Telnet_socket.
