Why not just expect the user to read a MAD until the read returns zero?
I'm thinking something like this:
read( offset = 0, len = 256 )
read( offset 256, len = <value determined by first read?> )
So a read at offset 0 would block waiting for the next MAD, but a read with a
non-zero offset would return EOF if the full MAD was read.
Thoughts?
The user would need to know how large of a buffer to allocate for the read.
If the user needs to allocate two buffers, then they either need to be
able to process data the spans multiple buffers, or a second data copy is
required. There's also an issue if the user is using multiple threads...
