6 * its length (including the header) as a 4-byte hex number.

10 * This is all pretty stupid, but we use this packetized line
11 * format to make a streaming format possible without ever
12 * over-running the read buffers. That way we'll never read

17 * side can't, we stay with pure read/write interfaces.
