Types

Connection

type Connection struct {
	MaxPayloadSize uint64
	ReadTimeout    time.Duration
	WriteTimeout   time.Duration
}

Wrapper around net.Conn that reads and writes framed Levin packets.

• MaxPayloadSize: per-connection payload ceiling enforced by ReadPacket. NewConnection starts with the package MaxPayloadSize default.
• ReadTimeout: deadline applied before each ReadPacket call. NewConnection sets this to DefaultReadTimeout.
• WriteTimeout: deadline applied before each write. NewConnection sets this to DefaultWriteTimeout.

Header

type Header struct {
	Signature       uint64
	PayloadSize     uint64
	ExpectResponse  bool
	Command         uint32
	ReturnCode      int32
	Flags           uint32
	ProtocolVersion uint32
}

Packed 33-byte Levin frame header. EncodeHeader writes these fields little-endian, and DecodeHeader validates the Signature and package-level MaxPayloadSize.

Section

type Section map[string]Value

Portable-storage object used by the Levin encoder and decoder. EncodeStorage sorts keys alphabetically for deterministic output.

Value

type Value struct {
	Type uint8
}

Tagged portable-storage value. The exported Type field identifies which internal scalar or array slot is populated; constructors such as Uint64Val, StringVal, and ObjectArrayVal create correctly-typed instances.

Functions

Top-level framing and storage functions

Name	Signature	Description
NewConnection	func NewConnection(conn net.Conn) *Connection	Wraps conn with Levin defaults: 100 MB payload limit, 120 s read timeout, and 30 s write timeout.
EncodeHeader	func EncodeHeader(h *Header) [HeaderSize]byte	Serialises h into the fixed 33-byte Levin header format.
DecodeHeader	func DecodeHeader(buf [HeaderSize]byte) (Header, error)	Parses a 33-byte header, rejecting bad magic signatures and payload sizes above the package-level limit.
PackVarint	func PackVarint(v uint64) []byte	Encodes v using the epee portable-storage varint scheme where the low two bits of the first byte encode the width.
UnpackVarint	func UnpackVarint(buf []byte) (value uint64, bytesConsumed int, err error)	Decodes one portable-storage varint and returns the value, consumed width, and any truncation or overflow error.
EncodeStorage	func EncodeStorage(s Section) ([]byte, error)	Serialises a Section into portable-storage binary form, including the 9-byte storage header.
DecodeStorage	func DecodeStorage(data []byte) (Section, error)	Deserialises portable-storage binary data, validates the storage signatures and version, and reconstructs a Section.

*Connection methods

Name	Signature	Description
WritePacket	func (c *Connection) WritePacket(cmd uint32, payload []byte, expectResponse bool) error	Sends a Levin request or notification with FlagRequest, ReturnOK, and the current protocol version. Header and payload writes are serialised by an internal mutex.
WriteResponse	func (c *Connection) WriteResponse(cmd uint32, payload []byte, returnCode int32) error	Sends a Levin response with FlagResponse and the supplied return code.
ReadPacket	func (c *Connection) ReadPacket() (Header, []byte, error)	Applies the read deadline, reads exactly one header and payload, validates the frame, and enforces the connection-specific MaxPayloadSize. Empty payloads are returned as nil without allocation.
Close	func (c *Connection) Close() error	Closes the wrapped network connection.
RemoteAddr	func (c *Connection) RemoteAddr() string	Returns the wrapped connection's remote address string.
