NAME

       buffer_get_token_pred - read token from buffer

SYNTAX

       #include <libowfat/buffer.h>

       ssize_t buffer_get_token_pred(buffer* b,char* x,size_t len,
                        int (*predicate)(const char* s,size_t len));

DESCRIPTION

       buffer_get_token_pred  copies  data from b to x[0], x[1], ..., x[len-1] until len bytes have been read or
       predicate called on the destination string returns nonzero.

       predicate can also return 0 (indicating further input is required to complete the token) or -1 (abort and
       return  -1;  use  this  if  predicate  wants to enfore a maximum message size or does timeout handling or
       detects a malformed message).

       buffer_get_token_pred returns the number of bytes copied or -1 on error (setting errno appropriately).
