iRODS C API

• There is too much server code in irods/lib
• Need to break out 'C API' from irods/lib/
• Server is also a client - 'clerver'
• Allow for slower moving code to remain isolated

Other Considerations

• Queries and genquery structure - ils
• Packing Instructions - native serialization
• Protocols - expected call and response patterns
• Return Codes - what values are the clients expecting
