fmt_netstring(3)	   Library Functions Manual	      fmt_netstring(3)

NAME
       fmt_netstring - convert a memory	buffer into a netstring

SYNTAX
       #include	<libowfat/fmt.h>

       size_t fmt_netstring(char *dest,const char *source,
			     size_t len);

DESCRIPTION
       fmt_netstring  creates a	netstring from a raw memory buffer and returns
       the length.

       fmt_netstring does not append \0.

       If dest equals FMT_LEN (i.e. is zero), fmt_netstring returns the	number
       of bytes	it would have written.

RETURN VALUE
       fmt_netstring returns the number	of bytes written (or that  would  have
       been written, had the destination pointer not pointed to	NULL).

       If  the	input buffer is	implausibly large, fmt_netstring returns 0 in-
       stead.

EXAMPLE
       The raw memory buffer "foo" would become	the netstring "3:foo,"
