You may have wanted to say that fflush() is not needed immediately
after packet_fflush() (because the latter calls fflush()), but I
find the "or packet_fflush" in the above comment highly misleading.
It's not like you can randomly call packet_fflush() where you would
call fflush(), as the former will insert a FLUSH packet to the
output stream. "... take care to call fflush(3) before doihng fd
writes or closing the fd" would be more appropriate. After all, if
you make fflush() even after calling packet_fflush(), nothing will
break.

This counts the size of the buffer the wrong way.
fwrite() gives the size of each element to be written out first, and
then number of elements that are written, which is the same as
fread() but unfortunately the other way around from calloc() where
count comes first X-<.
Other than that, nicely done.
Thanks.
