5 * Write a packetized stream, where each line is preceded by
6 * its length (including the header) as a 4-byte hex number.
7 * A length of 'zero' means end of stream (and a length of 1-3
8 * would be an error).
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
13 * into what might be the pack data (which should go to another
14 * process entirely).
16 * The writing side could use stdio, but since the reading
17 * side can't, we stay with pure read/write interfaces.
