Netstring encoding and decoding functions for shell scripts

netstring

Netstring encoding and decoding functions for shell scripts.

These functions operate over stdin and stdout so that NULL bytes are not lost in the process.

Example

#!/usr/bin/env import
import "netstring@1.0.0"

printf "12:hello world!," | netstring_decode
# hello world!

printf "hello world!" | netstring_encode
# 12:hello world!,
