From f8c36c58accd5c53a472b5c289910565b3df9f9d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alex Elder Date: Wed, 11 Jul 2012 08:24:45 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] libceph: define ceph_extract_encoded_string() This adds a new utility routine which will return a dynamically- allocated buffer containing a string that has been decoded from ceph over-the-wire format. It also returns the length of the string if the address of a size variable is supplied to receive it.
