There was discussion of creating Onion endpoints -- all the instructions regarding those I found (in a rather shallow search) were concerned with HTTP endpoints. What libraries (C or other) does one need to include to create a generic Onion endpoint, without presuming any kind of purpose for it? I understand you get a thin bidirectional stream, semantically similar to accepting a connection on a TCP socket. Am I correct?
