21 /* An Xfer abstracts an active data transfer through the Amanda core.
29 /* An Xfer represents a flow of data from a source, via zero or more filters,
30 * to a destination. Sources, filters, and destinations are "transfer elements".
31 * The job of the Xfer is glue together a sequence of elements, and provide a
32 * dispatch point for messages from those elements to the caller.
34 * Xfers are not implemented as GObjects because there is no reason to subclass an
35 * Xfer or apply any of the other features that come with GObject.
