returns whether all the edges were removed

Apply power scaling to ensure max FD weight <= 1/N of total

NOTE: This code came up with the following stackoverflow post: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/180947/base64-decode-snippet-in-c

check if socket needs cleanup due to error or timeout returns true if socket was cleaned up or partly cleaned up

we only allow modifications of new format so non const version does not need compatibility wrapper

Returns build dir

Builds and uploads binaries to the vm.

Assumes that socket_mutex_ is locked and that there are no requests in flight

the bool is whether we found an error that we can retry

Replaces a file with another, identical one.

terminates when the socket is closed
