# This file provides an example of the broadcast API one must follow.        #
# One must implement two functions, broadcast_data, and read_data. These     #
# two functions will allow the server and the client to broadcast            #
# and source the data they need.                                             #
#                                                                            #
# The user will also need to update platform_disk to include new information #
# about the broadcast and read functions                                     #
