[RFC PATCH v3 02/17] pkt-line: Make packet_read_line easier to debug

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



When there is an error parsing the 4 byte length component we now
NUL terminate the string and display it as part of the die message,
this may hint as to what data was misunderstood by the application.
