*
* Filters operate using a "chaining" mechanism. The filters are chained
* together into a sequence. When output is generated, it is passed through
* each of the filters on this chain, until it reaches the end (or "bottom")
* and is placed onto the network.
*
* The top of the chain, the code generating the output, is typically called
* a "content generator." The content generator's output is fed into the
* filter chain using the standard Apache output mechanisms: ap_rputs(),
* ap_rprintf(), ap_rwrite(), etc.
*
* Each filter is defined by a callback. This callback takes the output from
* the previous filter (or the content generator if there is no previous
* filter), operates on it, and passes the result to the next filter in the
* chain. This pass-off is performed using the ap_fc_* functions, such as
* ap_fc_puts(), ap_fc_printf(), ap_fc_write(), etc.
*
* When content generation is complete, the system will pass an "end of
* stream" marker into the filter chain. The filters will use this to flush
* out any internal state and to detect incomplete syntax (for example, an
* unterminated SSI directive).

* filtered.
*
* In filter->ctx, the callback will find its context. This context is
* provided here, so that a filter may be installed multiple times, each
* receiving its own per-install context pointer.
*
* Callbacks are associated with a filter definition, which is specified
* by name. See ap_register_input_filter() and ap_register_output_filter()
* for setting the association between a name for a filter and its
* associated callback (and other information).
*
* If the initialization function argument passed to the registration
* functions is non-NULL, it will be called iff the filter is in the input
* or output filter chains and before any data is generated to allow the
* filter to prepare for processing.
*
* The *bucket structure (and all those referenced by ->next and ->prev)
* should be considered "const". The filter is allowed to modify the
* the types and values of the individual buckets should not be altered.
*
* For the input and output filters, the return value of a filter should be
* an APR status value. For the init function, the return value should
* be an HTTP error code or OK if it was successful.
