-                Connection Manager is supported.}
-
-
-This module provides a partial interface to the Macintosh
-Communications Toolbox. Currently, only Connection Manager tools are
-supported.
-
-This module is only available under MacOS9 or earlier, in classic PPC
-MacPython.

-\begin{datadesc}{error}
-The exception raised on errors.
-\end{datadesc}
-
-\begin{datadesc}{cmData}
-\dataline{cmCntl}
-\dataline{cmAttn}
-Flags for the \var{channel} argument of the \method{Read()} and
-\method{Write()} methods.
-\end{datadesc}
-
-\begin{datadesc}{cmFlagsEOM}
-End-of-message flag for \method{Read()} and \method{Write()}.
-\end{datadesc}
-
-\begin{datadesc}{choose*}
-Values returned by \method{Choose()}.
-\end{datadesc}
-
-\begin{datadesc}{cmStatus*}
-Bits in the status as returned by \method{Status()}.
-\end{datadesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{available}{}
-Return \code{1} if the Communication Toolbox is available, zero otherwise.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-\begin{funcdesc}{CMNew}{name, sizes}
-Create a connection object using the connection tool named
-\var{name}. \var{sizes} is a 6-tuple given buffer sizes for data in,
-data out, control in, control out, attention in and attention out.
-Alternatively, passing \code{None} for \var{sizes} will result in
-default buffer sizes.
-\end{funcdesc}
-
-
-\subsection{Connection Objects \label{connection-object}}
-
-For all connection methods that take a \var{timeout} argument, a value
-of \code{-1} is indefinite, meaning that the command runs to completion.
-
-\begin{memberdesc}[connection]{callback}
-If this member is set to a value other than \code{None} it should point
-to a function accepting a single argument (the connection
-object). This will make all connection object methods work
-asynchronously, with the callback routine being called upon
-completion.
-
-\note{For reasons beyond my understanding, the callback routine
-is currently never called. You are advised against using asynchronous
-calls for the time being.}
-\end{memberdesc}
-
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[connection]{Open}{timeout}
-Open an outgoing connection, waiting at most \var{timeout} seconds for
-the connection to be established.
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[connection]{Listen}{timeout}
-Wait for an incoming connection. Stop waiting after \var{timeout}
-seconds. This call is only meaningful to some tools.
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[connection]{accept}{yesno}
-Accept (when \var{yesno} is non-zero) or reject an incoming call after
-\method{Listen()} returned.
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[connection]{Close}{timeout, now}
-Close a connection. When \var{now} is zero, the close is orderly
-(outstanding output is flushed, etc.)\ with a timeout of
-\var{timeout} seconds. When \var{now} is non-zero the close is
-immediate, discarding output.
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[connection]{Read}{len, chan, timeout}
-Read \var{len} bytes, or until \var{timeout} seconds have passed, from 
-the channel \var{chan} (which is one of \constant{cmData},
-\constant{cmCntl} or \constant{cmAttn}). Return a 2-tuple:\ the data
-read and the end-of-message flag, \constant{cmFlagsEOM}.
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[connection]{Write}{buf, chan, timeout, eom}
-Write \var{buf} to channel \var{chan}, aborting after \var{timeout}
-seconds. When \var{eom} has the value \constant{cmFlagsEOM}, an
-end-of-message indicator will be written after the data (if this
-concept has a meaning for this communication tool). The method returns
-the number of bytes written.
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[connection]{Status}{}
-Return connection status as the 2-tuple \code{(\var{sizes},
-\var{flags})}. \var{sizes} is a 6-tuple giving the actual buffer sizes used
-(see \function{CMNew()}), \var{flags} is a set of bits describing the state
-of the connection.
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[connection]{GetConfig}{}
-Return the configuration string of the communication tool. These
-configuration strings are tool-dependent, but usually easily parsed
-and modified.
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[connection]{SetConfig}{str}
-Set the configuration string for the tool. The strings are parsed
-left-to-right, with later values taking precedence. This means
-individual configuration parameters can be modified by simply appending
-something like \code{'baud 4800'} to the end of the string returned by
-\method{GetConfig()} and passing that to this method. The method returns
-the number of characters actually parsed by the tool before it
-encountered an error (or completed successfully).
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[connection]{Choose}{}
-Present the user with a dialog to choose a communication tool and
-configure it. If there is an outstanding connection some choices (like
-selecting a different tool) may cause the connection to be
-aborted. The return value (one of the \constant{choose*} constants) will
-indicate this.
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[connection]{Idle}{}
-Give the tool a chance to use the processor. You should call this
-method regularly.
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[connection]{Abort}{}
-Abort an outstanding asynchronous \method{Open()} or \method{Listen()}.
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[connection]{Reset}{}
-Reset a connection. Exact meaning depends on the tool.
-\end{methoddesc}
-
-\begin{methoddesc}[connection]{Break}{length}
-Send a break. Whether this means anything, what it means and
-interpretation of the \var{length} parameter depends on the tool in
-use.
-\end{methoddesc}
