Jelmer, do you need this function still?

Mark this as "Feature request".

Metze, is such a function realisable using your "tsocket" library?

Yes, should be trivial

For what do you need it?

IIRC I needed it to read lines from stdin easily. E.g. regpatch

Change QA contact

Metze, are you fine with implementing such a call (socket-read function that reads until a newline)?

Yes, would something like this work?

struct tstream_readline_context *
tstream_readline_create_context(TALLOC_CTX *mem_ctx, size_t tmp_buffer_size);

struct tevent_req *
tstream_readline_send(TALLOC_CTX *mem_ctx, struct tevent_context *ev,
                      struct tstream_context *stream,
                      struct tstream_readline_context *rl_ctx,
                      ssize_t max_len);
ssize_t tstream_readline_recv(struct tevent_req *req, int *perrno,
                              TALLOC_CTX *mem_ctx, const char **line);

I would say that this is perfectly okay - but certainly we need also Jelmer's ACK.

Yeah, that would work for me. Thanks.

Well, metze works on implementing the call - so put the bug in the ASSIGNED mode.

Metze, do you have any plans to merge these changes? I think you've already a patch for this.
