Function Documentation

void evtag_encode_int	(	struct evbuffer *	evbuf,
		ev_uint32_t	number
	)

Encode an integer and store it in an evbuffer.

We encode integers by nybbles; the first nibble contains the number of significant nibbles - 1; this allows us to encode up to 64-bit integers. This function is byte-order independent.

Parameters:

evbuf	evbuffer to store the encoded number
number	a 32-bit integer

int evtag_unmarshal_header	(	struct evbuffer *	evbuf,
		ev_uint32_t *	ptag
	)

Unmarshals the header and returns the length of the payload.

Parameters:

evbuf	the buffer from which to unmarshal data
ptag	a pointer in which the tag id is being stored

Returns:

-1 on failure or the number of bytes in the remaining payload.
