Detailed Description

Error packet structure carrying error code and textual description.

Error packets allow either side of the connection to report a specific asciichat_error_t along with a human-readable message describing the failure. The message payload follows the structure in the packet and is not guaranteed to be null-terminated on the wire. Consumers should rely on the message_length field when copying. Error packets may be transmitted in plaintext before the crypto handshake completes (and whenever encryption is disabled), but MUST be encrypted once a session key is active.
