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.

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

74 * packet is written to it.

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