/**

The MInputStream class provides the API to receive data from a connected 

remote host. They encapsulate the inbound stream of a connected socket. 

The input socket observer must bind itself to the input stream before using

any of the other MInputStream functions. The MInputStream::Bind() API is 

used to do this binding. The input stream does not do its first read until 

an observer has been bound to it. When done for the first time the input 

stream moves from the Idle state to the Read state.

When the input stream is in the Read state, it requests a read from the 

socket. This moves the input stream into the ReceivedData state and it waits

for the socket to notify it when it receives any data from the remote host. 

When the input stream receives the notification it notifies its observer via

the MInputStreamObserver::ReceivedDataInd() API. The input stream moves into

the PendingAck state.

The buffer containing the received data remains valid until the observer 

notifies the input stream that it is no longer needed. The observer can do

this using the MInputStream::ReceivedDataRes() API. The input stream returns

to the Read state and issues another read request to the socket.

The input stream can only be re-bound to another observer when it is in the 

PendingAck state. This does not change the state of the input stream. The 

new observer is responsible for notifying the input stream when the received 

data buffer is no longer needed.

The MInputSocket::Close() API closes the input stream synchronously. In 

this case the observer will not be notified. Once the the call completes 

the input stream is in the Closed state and is no longer valid. This

synchronous close should be used when an asynchronous shutdown is not 

appropriate, e.g. when deleting the observer object in error conditions.

Similar to the asynchronous shutdown the corresponding output stream is also 

shutdown and its observer notified.
