Function Documentation

void msgpack_object_from_lstring	(	msgpack_object *	object,
		const char *	str,
		size_t	len
	)

Create msgpack object from string (with given length).

Also translates NULL to a "nil" object.

Note

This does not allocate any memory within the object, justs sets the str pointer!

size_t msgpack_object_str_fwrite	(	msgpack_object_str	str,
		FILE *	stream
	)

Write msgpack_object_str to a stream.

Since a string-type msgpack_object_str isn't NUL-terminated, it's a bit awkward to output; maybe this helps.

Returns

number of bytes written

int msgpack_pack_lstring	(	msgpack_packer *	pk,
		const char *	str,
		size_t	len
	)

Pack string with a given length.

msgpack-c has an awful syntax for string packing (requiring two calls for string length and actual content), work around that - by introducing a cleaner "string + length" interface.
