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 instead. EXAMPLE The raw memory buffer "foo" would become the netstring "3:foo," SPEC http://cr.yp.to/proto/netstrings.txt SEE ALSO scan_netstring(3) fmt_netstring(3)
