-module(gen_server).

%%% ---------------------------------------------------
%%%
%%% The idea behind THIS server is that the user module
%%% provides (different) functions to handle different
%%% kind of inputs. 
%%% If the Parent process terminates the Module:terminate/2
%%% function is called.
%%%
%%% The user module should export:
%%%
%%%   init(Args)  
%%%     ==> {ok, State}
%%%         {ok, State, Timeout}
%%%         ignore
%%%         {stop, Reason}
%%%
%%%   handle_call(Msg, {From, Tag}, State)
%%%
%%%    ==> {reply, Reply, State}
%%%        {reply, Reply, State, Timeout}
%%%        {noreply, State}
%%%        {noreply, State, Timeout}
%%%        {stop, Reason, Reply, State}  
%%%              Reason = normal | shutdown | Term terminate(State) is called
%%%
%%%   handle_cast(Msg, State)
%%%
%%%    ==> {noreply, State}
%%%        {noreply, State, Timeout}
%%%        {stop, Reason, State} 
%%%              Reason = normal | shutdown | Term terminate(State) is called
%%%
%%%   handle_info(Info, State) Info is e.g. {'EXIT', P, R}, {nodedown, N}, ...
%%%
%%%    ==> {noreply, State}
%%%        {noreply, State, Timeout}
%%%        {stop, Reason, State} 
%%%              Reason = normal | shutdown | Term, terminate(State) is called
%%%
%%%   terminate(Reason, State) Let the user module clean up
%%%        always called when server terminates
%%%
%%%    ==> ok
%%%
%%%
%%% The work flow (of the server) can be described as follows:
%%%
%%%   User module                          Generic
%%%   -----------                          -------
%%%     start            ----->             start
