1. Purpose

This thorn uses the HDF5 Stream Virtual File Driver to stream Carpet HDF5 data
files via a socket to any connected clients.
In combination with client programs, which are capable of receiving and
postprocessing streamed HDF5 data, this thorn can be used to perform online
remote visualisation of live data from running Carpet FMR/AMR simulations.
