Since read_packetized_to_strbuf only has the one caller you mention, why not have the caller pass all of the options (including PACKET_READ_GENTLE_ON_EOF)? > if (packet_len <= 0) > break; > sb_out->len += packet_len; > diff --git a/pkt-line.h b/pkt-line.h > index 7f31c892165..150319a6f00 100644 > --- a/pkt-line.h > +++ b/pkt-line.h > @@ -145,8 +145,12 @@ char *packet_read_line_buf(char **src_buf, size_t *src_len, int *size); > > /* > * Reads a stream of variable sized packets until a flush packet is detected. > + * > + * The options are augmented by PACKET_READ_GENTLE_ON_EOF and passed to > + * packet_read. Obviously this comment will need updating if you take my suggestion. Thanks, Taylor
