Hi!

Thank you for sharing your code!

I understand that netstrings are used mainly as lists, so I thought that we could enhance the sequential reading of strings in a netstring list.

In the current code we don't know how much remaining bytes are there to call netstring_read again. Off course we can calculate it but I guess that less code is better.

I forked the repo and made some changes. With it we can iterate a list with code like this:

while(netstring_read(&base, &size, &str, &len) == 0) {
  do_something(str, len);
}

If you think it is useful I can make a pull request.

It will break the current ABI, so it can have a new version.

Thank you again!

Hi @PeterScott,

I used your code to buid a module in this project.

The code was cosmetically modified to fit with the project style. Here the files:

netstring.c
netstring.h

We'd like to add the corresponding copyright and license headers to these files. I know the the project is Public Domain. May you please indicate which would be the correct text we should add?

Thanks a lot.

Just wanted to say thanks for this excellent library :)

The library as of now, is not licensed, which makes it impossible to use. Please add a license to it.
