Re: [PATCH v9 10/14] pkt-line: add functions to read/write flush terminated packet streams

I must be missing something.  Is the other side always supposed to
give a flush packet or something?  Perhaps that is what is happening
here.  If so, I am OK with that, even though it somehow sounds a bit
wasteful.

Ah, scratch that.  What I was missing was that this channel is
designed to carry multiple interactions and delimiting with EOF
which by definition can happen only once cannot be a norm.
Expecting a flush to declare the current stream terminated is
perfectly fine.
