//! A lightweight client for keeping in sync with chain activity.
//!
+//! Defines an [`SpvClient`] utility for polling one or more block sources for the best chain tip.
+//! It is used to notify listeners of blocks connected or disconnected since the last poll. Useful
+//! for keeping a Lightning node in sync with the chain.
+//!
//! Defines a [`BlockSource`] trait, which is an asynchronous interface for retrieving block headers
//! and data.
//!
//!
//! Both features support either blocking I/O using `std::net::TcpStream` or, with feature `tokio`,
//! non-blocking I/O using `tokio::net::TcpStream` from inside a Tokio runtime.
