Module pktline 

The pkt-line framing git’s long-running filter protocol speaks.

A packet is four hexadecimal digits of length — counting those four bytes — followed by the payload. 0000 is a flush, which ends a list. Payloads are arbitrary bytes, so nothing here may become a String.

Enums

Packet

One item read from the stream.

Constants

MAX_PAYLOAD

Largest payload one packet can carry: git’s limit minus the length prefix.

Functions

read_content

Reads packets until the next flush and concatenates them.

read_packet

Reads one packet.

read_until_flush

Reads packets until the next flush, returning their payloads.

write_data

Writes one payload, splitting it across packets when it is too long.

write_flush

Writes a flush and pushes everything out.
