/* Open vSwitch Database Interface Definition Language (OVSDB IDL).
 *
 * The OVSDB IDL maintains an in-memory replica of a database.  It issues RPC
 * requests to an OVSDB database server and parses the responses, converting
 * raw JSON into data structures that are easier for clients to digest.  Most
 * notably, references to rows via UUID become C pointers.
 *
 * The IDL also assists with issuing database transactions.  The client creates
 * a transaction, manipulates the IDL data structures, and commits or aborts
 * the transaction.  The IDL then composes and issues the necessary JSON-RPC
 * requests and reports to the client whether the transaction completed
 * successfully.
