MBOX

This repo contains the protocol definition for the host to BMC mailbox communication specification which can be found in Documentation/mbox_procotol.md.

There is also a reference implementation of a BMC mailbox daemon, the details of which can be found in Documentation/mboxd.md.

Finally there is also an implementation of a mailbox daemon control program, the details of which can be found in Documentation/mboxctl.md.
