(from rfc3080)

2.1.1 Exchange Styles

   BEEP allows three styles of exchange:

   MSG/RPY: the client sends a "MSG" message asking the server to
      perform some task, the server performs the task and replies with a
      "RPY" message (termed a positive reply).

   MSG/ERR: the client sends a "MSG" message, the server does not
      perform any task and replies with an "ERR" message (termed a
      negative reply).

   MSG/ANS: the client sends a "MSG" message, the server, during the
      course of performing some task, replies with zero or more "ANS"
      messages, and, upon completion of the task, sends a "NUL" message,
      which signifies the end of the reply.

   The first two styles are termed one-to-one exchanges, whilst the
   third style is termed a one-to-many exchange.

Thanks,
 Phil
