+/***
+ * The NNTP class is not meant to be used by itself and is provided
+ * only so that you may easily implement your own NNTP client if
+ * you so desire. If you have no need to perform your own implementation,
+ * you should use {@link org.apache.commons.net.nntp.NNTPClient}.
+ * The NNTP class is made public to provide access to various NNTP constants
+ * and to make it easier for adventurous programmers (or those with special
+ * needs) to interact with the NNTP protocol and implement their own clients.
+ * A set of methods with names corresponding to the NNTP command names are
+ * provided to facilitate this interaction.
+ * <p>
+ * You should keep in mind that the NNTP server may choose to prematurely
+ * close a connection if the client has been idle for longer than a
+ * given time period or if the server is being shutdown by the operator or
+ * some other reason. The NNTP class will detect a
+ * premature NNTP server connection closing when it receives a
+ * {@link org.apache.commons.net.nntp.NNTPReply#SERVICE_DISCONTINUED NNTPReply.SERVICE_DISCONTINUED }
+ * response to a command.
+ * When that occurs, the NNTP class method encountering that reply will throw
+ * an {@link org.apache.commons.net.nntp.NNTPConnectionClosedException}
+ * .
+ * <code>NNTPConectionClosedException</code>
+ * is a subclass of <code> IOException </code> and therefore need not be
+ * caught separately, but if you are going to catch it separately, its
+ * catch block must appear before the more general <code> IOException </code>
+ * catch block. When you encounter an
+ * {@link org.apache.commons.net.nntp.NNTPConnectionClosedException}
+ * , you must disconnect the connection with
+ * {@link #disconnect disconnect() } to properly clean up the
+ * system resources used by NNTP. Before disconnecting, you may check the
+ * last reply code and text with
+ * {@link #getReplyCode getReplyCode } and
+ * {@link #getReplyString getReplyString }.
+ * <p>
+ * Rather than list it separately for each method, we mention here that
+ * every method communicating with the server and throwing an IOException
+ * can also throw a
+ * {@link org.apache.commons.net.MalformedServerReplyException}
+ * , which is a subclass
+ * of IOException. A MalformedServerReplyException will be thrown when
+ * the reply received from the server deviates enough from the protocol
+ * specification that it cannot be interpreted in a useful manner despite
+ * attempts to be as lenient as possible.
