Traditionally, the remote protocol was not a fixed and stable
interface, and so was not documented. Instead, the client and
server each handled a variety of protocols and negotiated to
choose the best common protocol. (Traditionally means before
Firebird started in 2001). That was OK as long as the
development group was prepared to deliver a client for every
platform. That's why we didn't inherit documentation for the
remote protocol, so you'll need to use an existing client as
the model for your new client.

The best example is the Java client, JayBird.
