although the core operations are essentially the same, usually with the same message format,
in Styx there is neither Tsession nor Tclwalk, the 9p and styx Tattach operations are different
(styx authenticates the link separately from each attach),
styx file modes are more restricted (eg, no lock or append-only),
and the T/R operations have different numbers.
