+ * Requests to and from a FSMonitor Protocol V2 provider use an opaque
+ * "token" as a virtual timestamp. Clients can request a summary of all
+ * created/deleted/modified files relative to a token. In the response,
+ * clients receive a new token for the next (relative) request.
+ *
+ *
+ * Token Format
+ * ============
+ *
+ * The contents of the token are private and provider-specific.
+ *
+ * For the built-in fsmonitor--daemon, we define a token as follows:
+ *
+ * "builtin" ":" <token_id> ":" <sequence_nr>
+ *
+ * The "builtin" prefix is used as a namespace to avoid conflicts
+ * with other providers (such as Watchman).
+ *
+ * The <token_id> is an arbitrary OPAQUE string, such as a GUID,
+ * UUID, or {timestamp,pid}. It is used to group all filesystem
+ * events that happened while the daemon was monitoring (and in-sync
+ * with the filesystem).
+ *
+ * Unlike FSMonitor Protocol V1, it is not defined as a timestamp
+ * and does not define less-than/greater-than relationships.
+ * (There are too many race conditions to rely on file system
+ * event timestamps.)
+ *
+ * The <sequence_nr> is a simple integer incremented whenever the
+ * daemon needs to make its state public. For example, if 1000 file
+ * system events come in, but no clients have requested the data,
+ * the daemon can continue to accumulate file changes in the same
+ * bin and does not need to advance the sequence number. However,
+ * as soon as a client does arrive, the daemon needs to start a new
+ * bin and increment the sequence number.
+ *
+ * The sequence number serves as the boundary between 2 sets
+ * of bins -- the older ones that the client has already seen
+ * and the newer ones that it hasn't.
+ *
+ * When a new <token_id> is created, the <sequence_nr> is reset to
+ * zero.
+ *
+ *
+ * About Token Ids
+ * ===============
+ *
+ * A new token_id is created:
+ *
+ * [1] each time the daemon is started.
+ *
+ * [2] any time that the daemon must re-sync with the filesystem
+ * (such as when the kernel drops or we miss events on a very
+ * active volume).
+ *
+ * [3] in response to a client "flush" command (for dropped event
+ * testing).
+ *
+ * When a new token_id is created, the daemon is free to discard all
+ * cached filesystem events associated with any previous token_ids.
+ * Events associated with a non-current token_id will never be sent
+ * to a client. A token_id change implicitly means that the daemon
+ * has gap in its event history.
+ *
+ * Therefore, clients that present a token with a stale (non-current)
+ * token_id will always be given a trivial response.
