[clug] nagios npre protcol

[David Tulloh]

The documentation is essentially the source code,
http://nagios.svn.sourceforge.net/viewvc/nagios/nrpe/trunk/include/common.h?revision=2548&view=markup

NRPE is done by taking the following C struct and throwing it, bytewise, at
the other end via TCP.  Not great if to ever want to talk to a different
endian machine but very simple to implement.  The struct can optionally be
wrapped in SSL for security.


typedef struct packet_struct{
   int16_t packet_version;
   int16_t packet_type;
   u_int32_t crc32_value;
   int16_t result_code;
   char buffer[MAX_PACKETBUFFER_LENGTH==1024];
 }packet;
