It's true that you don't always know the size at the start. Nonetheless, it could be be specified that iff the size of the raw data is known, then "size" could be used. In the many cases that this is possible, performance should be faster (although I can't quantify by how much). regards Bruce Blackshaw On 28/01/2013 4:32 AM, Alun Jones wrote: >> Of Ángel González >> >> Bruce Blackshaw wrote: >>> Re LOCK, I think it would be useful to have an alternative to >>> "boundary" called "size", that could provide the size of the raw data >>> for binary transfers.
