Sends binary data to the C/C++ program that the server is connected with. A
callback-function (arity 1) can be added to handle the incoming response of
the program. If no callback is added, the response will be sent to the

modes for handling the response are the following:

:permanent -> callback function is applied to all following events
:sync -> the server waits with further events until response is processed
