 * calling @code{.cpp} CookieIF* childCookie = new ChildCookie(...)
 * @endcode .
 *
 * This cookie is then passed to the child device handlers, which stores the
 * pointer and passes it to the communication interface functions.
 *
 * The cookie can be used to store all kinds of information
 * about the communication, like slave addresses, communication status,
 * communication parameters etc.
