+/**
+HIpcBuf class manages the "client to server" transfer of large data blocks.
+
+It caches the data to be sent/retrieved on the client side and sychronises the content of the client-side cache
+with the content of a similar server-side cache, sending appropriate read/write/sync commands to the server.
+
+An instance of TIpcStreamBuf class is uased as a client-side cache.
+
+The following code fragment shows how the class can be used to send to the server large blocks of data:
+
+@code
+//Step 1: Create the HIpcBuf instance.
+HIpcBuf* ipcBuf = HIpcBuf::NewLC(params, function, args);
+
+//Step 2: Create a stream instance. It will be used for sending the data to the server. All details about
+//		  the data transfer will be performed by the ipcBuf object.
+RWriteStream out(ipcBuf);
+
+//Step 3: "TheObject" is some large data object which has to be sent to the server. Let's assume 
+//		  "TheObject" has ExternalizeL() function which can be used to externalize the object into an output stream.
+TheObject.ExternalizeL(out);
+
+//Step 4: Commit the output stream. After the commit command the server will have all the data transferred.
+out.CommitL();		
+
+//Step 5: Cleanup.
+CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(ipcBuf);
