1. 
 
RFC 3080 describes the format of the Error Message . It has and error
code field, where certain error codes are described in section 8 of the
RFC3080.
 
How is the error code sent when using the bpc_send() function from the
beepcore-c libraries. The parameters to bpc_send() do not include any
code field. What Im looking for is the C equivalent to the Java
Message.sendErr(int code, ) method.
Must the buffer sent in an error message using bpc_send() be constructed
in some special way to include the error code?
 
2. In documentation describing BEEP it refers to it as an asynchronous
protocol. In what sense is it asynchronous? 
 
Thanks.
