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

38 * Read a packetized line into the buffer, which must be at least size bytes
39 * long. The return value specifies the number of bytes read into the buffer.
41 * If src_buffer and *src_buffer are not NULL, it should point to a buffer
42 * containing the packet data to parse, of at least *src_len bytes. After the
43 * function returns, src_buf will be incremented and src_len decremented by the
44 * number of bytes consumed.
46 * If src_buffer (or *src_buffer) is NULL, then data is read from the
47 * descriptor "fd".
49 * If options does not contain PACKET_READ_GENTLE_ON_EOF, we will die under any
50 * of the following conditions:
52 * 1. Read error from descriptor.
54 * 2. Protocol error from the remote (e.g., bogus length characters).
56 * 3. Receiving a packet larger than "size" bytes.
58 * 4. Truncated output from the remote (e.g., we expected a packet but got
59 * EOF, or we got a partial packet followed by EOF).
61 * If options does contain PACKET_READ_GENTLE_ON_EOF, we will not die on
62 * condition 4 (truncated input), but instead return -1. However, we will still
63 * die for the other 3 conditions.
65 * If options contains PACKET_READ_CHOMP_NEWLINE, a trailing newline (if
66 * present) is removed from the buffer before returning.
68 * If options contains PACKET_READ_DIE_ON_ERR_PACKET, it dies when it sees an
69 * ERR packet.

78 * Read a packetized line into a buffer like the 'packet_read()' function but
79 * returns an 'enum packet_read_status' which indicates the status of the read.
80 * The number of bytes read will be assigned to *pktlen if the status of the
81 * read was 'PACKET_READ_NORMAL'.

95 * Convenience wrapper for packet_read that is not gentle, and sets the
96 * CHOMP_NEWLINE option. The return value is NULL for a flush packet,
97 * and otherwise points to a static buffer (that may be overwritten by
98 * subsequent calls). If the size parameter is not NULL, the length of the
99 * packet is written to it.

106 * read into the buffer or -1 on truncated input. If the *dst_line parameter
107 * is not NULL it will return NULL for a flush packet or when the number of
108 * bytes copied is zero and otherwise points to a static buffer (that may be
109 * overwritten by subsequent calls). If the size parameter is not NULL, the

126 * Receive multiplexed output stream over git native protocol.
127 * in_stream is the input stream from the remote, which carries data
128 * in pkt_line format with band designator. Demultiplex it into out
129 * and err and return error appropriately. Band #1 carries the
130 * primary payload. Things coming over band #2 is not necessarily
131 * error; they are usually informative message on the standard error
132 * stream, aka "verbose"). A message over band #3 is a signal that
133 * the remote died unexpectedly. A flush() concludes the stream.
135 * Returns SIDEBAND_FLUSH upon a normal conclusion, and SIDEBAND_PROTOCOL_ERROR
136 * or SIDEBAND_REMOTE_ERROR if an error occurred.
