/*! RFNoC Tx Streamer: Block to handle data flow from a GNU Radio flow graph
 * into an RFNoC flow graph.
 *
 * Use this block for egress from a GNU Radio flow graph. "Tx" is from the
 * viewpoint of the GNU Radio flow graph. For example, if the GNU Radio flow
 * graph is creating samples to be transmitted to a radio, use this block to
 * transport the samples out of GNU Radio.
 *
 * The input data type is determined by the stream_args passed to the make()
 * function. The input signature will be set to match the cpu_format field of
 * the stream_args. The input signature will be num_chans inputs of the
 * specified type, each with a vector length of vlen.
 *
 * This block also has a message input port called "in". This port accepts PDUs
 * containing the data to be sent to RFNoC. The data part of the PDU
 * (mostly likely a PMT vector) must match the cpu_format and vlen of the
 * block. The data will be sent to RFNoC using the underlying RFNoC streamer
 * associated with this block.
 *
 * Note: The output ports of this block can only connect to other RFNoC blocks.
