fmt_netstring - convert a memory buffer into a netstring
Contents
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.
Example
The raw memory buffer "foo" would become the netstring "3:foo,"
Name
fmt_netstring - convert a memory buffer into a netstring
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.
