/**
* Protocol summary:
* - IPC is enabled by setting the SHADPS4_ENABLE_IPC environment variable to "true"
* - Input will be stdin & output stderr
* - Strings are sent as UTF8
* - Each communication line is terminated by a newline character ('\n')
* - Each command parameter will be separated by a newline character ('\n'),
* variadic commands will start sending the number of parameters after the cmd word.
* Any ('\n') in the parameter must be escaped by a backslash ('\\n')
* - Numbers can be sent with any base. Must prefix the number with '0x' for hex,
* '0b' for binary, or '0' for octal. Decimal numbers
* will be sent without any prefix.
* - Output will be started by (';')
* - The IPC server(this) will send a block started by
* #IPC_ENABLED
* and ended by
* #IPC_END
* In between, it will send the current capabilities and commands before the emulator start
* - The IPC client(e.g., launcher) will send RUN then START to conintue the execution
**/
/**
* Command list:
* - CAPABILITIES:
* - ENABLE_MEMORY_PATCH: enables PATCH_MEMORY command
* - INPUT CMD:
* - RUN: start the emulator execution
* - START: start the game execution
* - PATCH_MEMORY(
* modName: str, offset: str, value: str,
* target: str, size: str, isOffset: number, littleEndian: number,
* patchMask: number, maskOffset: number
* ): add a memory patch, check @ref MemoryPatcher::PatchMemory for details
* - OUTPUT CMD:
* - N/A
