A caller /// creates an instance of the @ref ClientConnection and calls /// @ref ClientConnection::start to start asynchronous communication with /// a remote server. The caller provides a pointer to the callback function /// (handler) which will be called when the communication with the server /// completes, i.e. the command is sent to the server and the response /// from the server is received. If an error occurs, the callback is /// invoked with an error code indicating a reason for the failure. /// /// The documentation of the @ref ClientConnection::start explains the /// sequence of operations performed by this class. /// /// Even though the @ref ClientConnection is asynchronous in nature, it /// can also be used in cases requiring synchronous communication. As it /// has been already mentioned, the servers in Kea 1.2 do not support /// multiple concurrent connections.
