Both are variable length byte sequences * prefixed by a 32-bit big endian unsigned integer (the **frame length**) * specifying the length of the following byte sequence. If this frame length * value is greater than zero, the **frame length** specifies the **data frame * length**, and a data frame follows it. If the frame length is zero (i.e., it * is the four byte sequence `00 00 00 00`), this is an **escape sequence**, * which means that a control frame follows. The control frame itself is * prefixed by a 32-bit big endian unsigned integer (the **control frame * length**) specifying the length of the following **control frame payload**. * * There are two types of control frames used for uni-directional streams: * `START` and `STOP`. These control frame types bracket the stream of data * frames. `START` indicates the beginning of the stream and communicates * metadata about the stream to follow, and `STOP` indicates the end of the * stream. * * Bi-directional streams make use of three additional control frame types: * `READY`, `ACCEPT`, and `FINISH`. These control frame types are used in a * simple handshake protocol between sender and receiver. * * A uni-directional Frame Streams byte stream normally consists of the * following: * * 1. The `START` control frame. * 2. A sequence of zero or more data frames or control frames that are not of * the control frame types `START`, `STOP`, `ACCEPT`, `READY`, or * `FINISH`. * 3. The `STOP` control frame. * * The `START` and `STOP` control frames are not optional. The `START` control * frame must appear at the beginning of the byte stream, and the `STOP` control * frame must appear at the end of the byte stream. (If the byte stream has an * end.) `START` control frames must not appear anywhere other than at the * beginning of the byte stream, and `STOP` control frames must not appear * anywhere other than at the end of the byte stream. Only one `START` control * frame and only one `STOP` control frame may appear in a Frame Streams byte * stream. * * Control frames may optionally include zero or more **control frame fields**. * There is currently one type of control frame field defined: `CONTENT_TYPE`. * This field specifies a variable length byte sequence describing the encoding * of data frames that appear in the Frame Streams byte stream. This field is * used by cooperating programs to unambiguously identify how to interpret the * data frames in a particular Frame Streams byte stream. For instance, this * field may specify a particular schema to use to interpret the data frames * appearing in the byte stream. Zero, one, or more `CONTENT_TYPE` fields may * appear in `READY` or `ACCEPT` control frames. Zero or one `CONTENT_TYPE` * fields may appear in `START` control frames. No `CONTENT_TYPE` fields may * appear in `STOP` or `FINISH` control frames. * * A uni-directional Frame Streams encoder would normally produce a byte stream * as follows: * * 1. Write the `START` **control frame**. * + At the start of the byte stream, write the four byte **escape * sequence** `00 00 00 00` that precedes control frames. * + Write the **control frame length** as a 32-bit big endian unsigned * integer. * + Write the **control frame payload**. It must be a `START` control * frame. It may optionally specify a `CONTENT_TYPE` field. * 2. Write zero or more **data frames**. * 3. Write the `STOP` **control frame**. * + At the start of the byte stream, write the four byte **escape * sequence** `00 00 00 00` that precedes control frames. * + Write the **control frame length** as a 32-bit big endian unsigned * integer. * + Write the **control frame payload**. It must be a `STOP` control * frame. * * A uni-directional Frame Streams decoder would normally process the byte * stream as follows: * * 1. Read the `START` control frame. * + At the start of the byte stream, read the four byte **escape * sequence** `00 00 00 00` that precedes control frames. * + Read the 32-bit big endian unsigned integer specifying the **control * frame length**. * + Decode the **control frame payload**. It must be a `START` control * frame. It may optionally specify a `CONTENT_TYPE` field. * 2. Repeatedly read data frames or control frames following the `START` * control frame. * + Read the **frame length**, a 32-bit big endian unsigned integer. * + If the **frame length** is zero, a control frame follows: * + Read the 32-bit big endian unsigned integer specifying the * **control frame length**. * + Decode the **control frame payload**. If it is a `STOP` * control frame, the end of the Frame Streams byte stream has * occurred, and no frames follow. Break out of the decoding loop * and halt processing. (`READY`, `ACCEPT`, `START`, and `FINISH` * may not occur here. For forward compatibility, control frames of * types other than the types `READY`, `ACCEPT`, `START`, `STOP`, * and `FINISH` must be ignored here. No control frames specified * in the future may alter the encoding of succeeding frames.) * + If the **frame length** is non-zero, it specifies the number of bytes * in the following **data frame**. Consume these bytes from the byte * stream. * * The functions fstrm_control_encode() and fstrm_control_decode() are provided * to encode and decode control frames. See the detailed descriptions of those * functions for code examples showing their usage. * * @{ */ /** * The maximum length in bytes of an "Accept", "Start", or "Stop" control frame * payload.
