I'm implementing PBAP driver framework and a simple(or prototype) PBAP
driver based on your prototype declarations. Will add some extentions
to the prototype declarations if necessary.
To do that in an async way I think the basic idea is:
1 when PBAP driver is loaded(or initialized), fork() is invoked to run
PBAP driver in child process
2 the Unix domain socket is used to communicate between PBAP server
and PBAP driver; and PBAP server acts as client role at the one end of
socket, PBAP driver acts as server role at the other end of socket
3 everytime a PBAP client connects to PBAP server(i.e. a OBEX session
is initiated), PBAP server initiates a session(or a socket) with PBAP
driver by invoking connect(). Then PBAP server sends subsequent PBAP
request(pullphonebook, pullvcardlisting, pullvcardentry) through this
socket; PBAP driver sends back the requested data through the socket
asyncronously.
Am I right? I'd like to first make the basic design ideas clear in
order to avoid the unnecessary misunderstanding or confusion before
starting to write the code.

Thanks,
Forrest
