simple package to r/w length-delimited slices.

go-msgio - Message IO

This is a simple package that helps read and write length-delimited slices. It's helpful for building wire protocols.

Usage

Reading

import "github.com/libp2p/go-msgio"
rdr := ... // some reader from a wire
mrdr := msgio.NewReader(rdr)

for {
  msg, err := mrdr.ReadMsg()
  if err != nil {
    return err
  }

  doSomething(msg)
}

Writing

import "github.com/libp2p/go-msgio"
wtr := genReader()
mwtr := msgio.NewWriter(wtr)

for {
  msg := genMessage()
  err := mwtr.WriteMsg(msg)
  if err != nil {
    return err
  }
}

Duplex

import "github.com/libp2p/go-msgio"
rw := genReadWriter()
mrw := msgio.NewReadWriter(rw)

for {
  msg, err := mrdr.ReadMsg()
  if err != nil {
    return err
  }

  // echo it back :)
  err = mwtr.WriteMsg(msg)
  if err != nil {
    return err
  }
}
