scan_netstring(3) Library Functions Manual scan_netstring(3) NAME scan_netstring - parse a netstring SYNTAX #include <libowfat/scan.h> size_t scan_netstring(const char *in,size_t len,char** dest, size_t *slen); DESCRIPTION scan_netstring attempts to parse the netstring in the input buffer (in,len). If the buffer contains a valid netstring, then (*dest,*slen) is set to the start and length of the transported string. Note that this string is not zero terminated. No copy is made. scan_net- string points it inside the input buffer. RETURN VALUE scan_netstring returns the number of bytes in the netstring (the outer rep- resentation, not the transported inner string) if parsing worked, or 0 if the input buffer did not contain a valid (or full) netstring. EXAMPLE The raw memory buffer "foo" would become the netstring "3:foo," SPEC http://cr.yp.to/proto/netstrings.txt SEE ALSO fmt_netstring(3) scan_netstring(3)
