   8 * Write a packetized stream, where each line is preceded by
   9 * its length (including the header) as a 4-byte hex number.
  10 * A length of 'zero' means end of stream (and a length of 1-3
  11 * would be an error).
  12 *
  13 * This is all pretty stupid, but we use this packetized line
  14 * format to make a streaming format possible without ever
  15 * over-running the read buffers. That way we'll never read
  16 * into what might be the pack data (which should go to another
  17 * process entirely).
  18 *
  19 * The writing side could use stdio, but since the reading
  20 * side can't, we stay with pure read/write interfaces.

  56 *   4. Truncated output from the remote (e.g., we expected a packet but got
  57 *      EOF, or we got a partial packet followed by EOF).

  60 * condition 4 (truncated input), but instead return -1. However, we will still
  61 * die for the other 3 conditions.

  63 * If options contains PACKET_READ_CHOMP_NEWLINE, a trailing newline (if
  64 * present) is removed from the buffer before returning.
