    Methods

    • Encodes the start of a new message into a Uint8Array. The message start consists of a identifier string and the length of the following message.

      Parameters

      • message: Uint8Array

      Returns Uint8Array

      the buffer contains the encoded message start

    • Reads the start of a new message from a stream chunk (or cached message) received from the underlying pipe. The message start is expected to consist of an identifier string and the length of the message.

      Parameters

      • chunk: Uint8Array

        The stream chunk.
