### How does it work?
The daemon, listening per default at tcp/3551 is waiting for connections. The protocol itself is
build pretty simple. Lets look at the status request:
`\x00\x06\x73\x74\x61\x74\x75\x73`
As you can see, the first two bytes define the length of the request, in this particular case 6 bytes, after that the command is sent: status.
The same is happening for the events request:
`\x00\x06\x65\x76\x65\x6e\x74\x73`
Six bytes again and then the string "events".
The response is setup similar, first the bytelength, then the ASCII data, at the end a newline and null byte is sent. Finally, if all data has been transfered the daemon sends an additional nullbyte.
If you looking for more information simply trace wireshark output or look into the code ;)
