// Package updatepipe implements utilities for serialization and transport of
// IMAP update objects between processes and machines.
//
// Its main goal is provide maddy command with ability to properly notify the
// server about changes without relying on it to coordinate access in the
// first place (so maddy command can work without a running server or with a
// broken server instance).
//
// Additionally, it can be used to transfer IMAP updates between replicated
// nodes.

// sends them to the channel.
//
// Usually it is not possible to call Listen multiple times for the same
// pipe.
//
// Updates sent using the same UpdatePipe object using Push are not
// duplicates to the channel passed to Listen.
