19 * Primitive protocol structure for writing to syslogger pipe(s). The idea
20 * here is to divide long messages into chunks that are not more than
21 * PIPE_BUF bytes long, which according to POSIX spec must be written into
22 * the pipe atomically. The pipe reader then uses the protocol headers to
23 * reassemble the parts of a message into a single string. The reader can
24 * also cope with non-protocol data coming down the pipe, though we cannot
25 * guarantee long strings won't get split apart.
27 * We use non-nul bytes in is_last to make the protocol a tiny bit
28 * more robust against finding a false double nul byte prologue. But
29 * we still might find it in the len and/or pid bytes unless we're careful.
