 * @brief       High-level interface to CoAP messaging
 *
 * gcoap provides a high-level interface for writing CoAP messages via RIOT's
 * sock networking API. gcoap internalizes network event processing so an
 * application only needs to focus on request/response handling. For a server,
 * gcoap accepts a list of resource paths with callbacks for writing the
 * response. For a client, gcoap provides a function to send a request, with a
 * callback for reading the server response. Generation of the request or
 * response requires from one to three well-defined steps, depending on
 * inclusion of a payload.
 *
 * gcoap allocates a RIOT message processing thread, so a single instance can
 * serve multiple applications. This approach also means gcoap uses a single UDP
 * port, which supports RFC 6282 compression. Internally, gcoap depends on the
 * nanocoap package for base level structs and functionality.
 *
 * gcoap also supports the Observe extension (RFC 7641) for a server. gcoap
 * provides functions to generate and send an observe notification that are
 * similar to the functions to send a client request.
 *
 * *Contents*
 *
 * - Server Operation
 * - Client Operation
 * - Observe Server Operation
 * - Implementation Notes
 * - Implementation Status
 *
 * ## Server Operation ##
 *
 * gcoap listens for requests on GCOAP_PORT, 5683 by default. You can redefine
 * this by uncommenting the appropriate lines in gcoap's make file.
 *
 * gcoap allows an application to specify a collection of request resource paths
 * it wants to be notified about. Create an array of resources, coap_resource_t
 * structs. Use gcoap_register_listener() at application startup to pass in
 * these resources, wrapped in a gcoap_listener_t.
 *
 * gcoap itself defines a resource for `/.well-known/core` discovery, which
 * lists all of the registered paths.
 *
 * ### Creating a response ###
 *
 * An application resource includes a callback function, a coap_handler_t. After
 * reading the request, the callback must use one or two functions provided by
 * gcoap to format the response, as described below. The callback *must* read
 * the request thoroughly before calling the functions, because the response
 * buffer likely reuses the request buffer. See `examples/gcoap/gcoap_cli.c`
 * for a simple example of a callback.
 *
 * Here is the expected sequence for a callback function:
 *
 * Read request completely and parse request payload, if any. Use the
 * coap_pkt_t _payload_ and _payload_len_ attributes.
 *
 * If there is a payload, follow the three steps below.
 *
 * -# Call gcoap_resp_init() to initialize the response.
 * -# Write the response payload, starting at the updated _payload_ pointer
 *    in the coap_pkt_t. If some error occurs, return a negative errno
 *    code from the handler, and gcoap will send a server error (5.00).
 * -# Call gcoap_finish() to complete the PDU after writing the payload,
 *    and return the result. gcoap will send the message.
 *
 * If no payload, call only gcoap_response() to write the full response.
 * Alternatively, you still can use gcoap_resp_init() and gcoap_finish(), as
 * described above. In fact, the gcoap_response() function is inline, and uses
 * those two functions.
 *
 * ## Client Operation ##
 *
 * Client operation includes two phases:  creating and sending a request, and
 * handling the response aynchronously in a client supplied callback.  See
 * `examples/gcoap/gcoap_cli.c` for a simple example of sending a request and
 * reading the response.
 *
 * ### Creating a request ###
 *
 * Here is the expected sequence to prepare and send a request:
 *
 * Allocate a buffer and a coap_pkt_t for the request.
 *
 * If there is a payload, follow the three steps below.
 *
 * -# Call gcoap_req_init() to initialize the request.
 * -# Write the request payload, starting at the updated _payload_ pointer
 *    in the coap_pkt_t.
 * -# Call gcoap_finish(), which updates the packet for the payload.
 *
 * If no payload, call only gcoap_request() to write the full request.
 * Alternatively, you still can use gcoap_req_init() and gcoap_finish(),
 * as described above. The gcoap_request() function is inline, and uses those
 * two functions.
 *
 * Finally, call gcoap_req_send2() for the destination endpoint, as well as a
 * callback function for the host's response.
 *
 * ### Handling the response ###
 *
 * When gcoap receives the response to a request, it executes the callback from
 * the request. gcoap also executes the callback when a response is not
 * received within GCOAP_RESPONSE_TIMEOUT.
 *
 * Here is the expected sequence for handling a response in the callback.
 *
 * -# Test for a server response or timeout in the _req_state_ callback
 *    parameter. See the GCOAP_MEMO... constants.
 * -# Test the response with coap_get_code_class() and coap_get_code_detail().
 * -# Test the response payload with the coap_pkt_t _payload_len_ and
 *    _content_type_ attributes.
 * -# Read the payload, if any.
 *
 * ## Observe Server Operation
 *
 * A CoAP client may register for Observe notifications for any resource that
 * an application has registered with gcoap. An application does not need to
 * take any action to support Observe client registration. However, gcoap
 * limits registration for a given resource to a _single_ observer.
 *
 * An Observe notification is considered a response to the original client
 * registration request. So, the Observe server only needs to create and send
 * the notification -- no further communication or callbacks are required.
 *
 * ### Creating a notification ###
 *
 * Here is the expected sequence to prepare and send a notification:
 *
 * Allocate a buffer and a coap_pkt_t for the notification, then follow the
 * steps below.
 *
 * -# Call gcoap_obs_init() to initialize the notification for a resource.
 *    Test the return value, which may indicate there is not an observer for
 *    the resource. If so, you are done.
 * -# Write the notification payload, starting at the updated _payload_ pointer
 *    in the coap_pkt_t.
 * -# Call gcoap_finish(), which updates the packet for the payload.
 *
 * Finally, call gcoap_obs_send() for the resource.
 *
 * ### Other considerations ###
 *
 * By default, the value for the Observe option in a notification is three
 * bytes long. For resources that change slowly, this length can be reduced via
 * GCOAP_OBS_VALUE_WIDTH.
 *
 * To cancel a notification, the server expects to receive a GET request with
 * the Observe option value set to 1. The server does not support cancellation
 * via a reset (RST) response to a non-confirmable notification.
 *
 * ## Implementation Notes ##
 *
 * ### Building a packet ###
 *
 * The sequence and functions described above to build a request or response
 * is designed to provide a relatively simple API for the user.
 *
 * The structure of a CoAP PDU requires that options are placed between the
 * header and the payload. So, gcoap provides space in the buffer for them in
 * the request/response ...init() function, and then writes them during
 * gcoap_finish(). We trade some inefficiency/work in the buffer for
 * simplicity in the API.
 *
 * ### Waiting for a response ###
 *
 * We take advantage of RIOT's asynchronous messaging by using an xtimer to wait
 * for a response, so the gcoap thread does not block while waiting. The user is
 * notified via the same callback, whether the message is received or the wait
 * times out. We track the response with an entry in the
 * `_coap_state.open_reqs` array.
 *
 * ## Implementation Status ##
 * gcoap includes server and client capability. Available features include:
 *
 * - Message Type: Supports non-confirmable (NON) messaging. Additionally
 *   provides a callback on timeout. Provides piggybacked ACK response to a
 *   confirmable (CON) request.
 * - Observe extension: Provides server-side registration and notifications.
 * - Server and Client provide helper functions for writing the
 *   response/request. See the CoAP topic in the source documentation for
 *   details. See the gcoap example for sample implementations.
 * - Server allows an application to register a 'listener', which includes an
 *   array of endpoint paths and function callbacks used to write a response.
 * - Server listens on a port at startup; defaults to 5683.
 * - Client operates asynchronously; sends request and then handles response
 *   in a user provided callback.
 * - Client generates token; length defined at compile time.
 * - Options: Supports Content-Format for payload.

 * The tick length must be short enough so that the Observe value strictly

 * sec). For resources that change only slowly, the reduced message length is
