8 * Write a packetized stream, where each line is preceded by
9 * its length (including the header) as a 4-byte hex number.
10 * A length of 'zero' means end of stream (and a length of 1-3
11 * would be an error).
13 * This is all pretty stupid, but we use this packetized line
14 * format to make a streaming format possible without ever
15 * over-running the read buffers. That way we'll never read
16 * into what might be the pack data (which should go to another
17 * process entirely).
19 * The writing side could use stdio, but since the reading
20 * side can't, we stay with pure read/write interfaces.

57 * If options does not contain PACKET_READ_GENTLE_ON_EOF, we will die under any
58 * of the following conditions:
60 * 1. Read error from descriptor.
62 * 2. Protocol error from the remote (e.g., bogus length characters).
64 * 3. Receiving a packet larger than "size" bytes.
66 * 4. Truncated output from the remote (e.g., we expected a packet but got
67 * EOF, or we got a partial packet followed by EOF).
69 * If options does contain PACKET_READ_GENTLE_ON_EOF, we will not die on
70 * condition 4 (truncated input), but instead return -1. However, we will still
71 * die for the other 3 conditions.
73 * If options contains PACKET_READ_CHOMP_NEWLINE, a trailing newline (if
74 * present) is removed from the buffer before returning.
76 * If options contains PACKET_READ_DIE_ON_ERR_PACKET, it dies when it sees an
77 * ERR packet.
79 * If options contains PACKET_READ_GENTLE_ON_READ_ERROR, we will not die
80 * on read errors, but instead return -1. However, we may still die on an
81 * ERR packet (if requested).

103 * read was 'PACKET_READ_NORMAL'.

106 * containing the packet data to parse, of at least *src_len bytes. After the
107 * function returns, src_buf will be incremented and src_len decremented by the
108 * number of bytes consumed.

156 * error; they are usually informative message on the standard error
157 * stream, aka "verbose"). A message over band #3 is a signal that
158 * the remote died unexpectedly. A flush() concludes the stream.
