      Known subclasses: twisted.protocols.basic.Int16StringReceiver, twisted.protocols.basic.Int32StringReceiver, twisted.protocols.basic.Int8StringReceiver
Generic class for length prefixed protocols.
| Instance Variable | structFormat | format used for struct packing/unpacking. Define it in subclass. | 
| Instance Variable | prefixLength | length of the prefix, in bytes. Define it in subclass, using struct.calcsize(structFormat) | 
  
| Class Variable | MAX_LENGTH | Undocumented | 
| Class Variable | recvd | Undocumented | 
| Method | stringReceived | Override this for notification when each complete string is received. | 
| Method | lengthLimitExceeded | Callback invoked when a length prefix greater than MAX_LENGTH is received.  The default implementation disconnects the transport. Override this. | 
  
| Method | dataReceived | Convert int prefixed strings into calls to stringReceived. | 
| Method | sendString | Send a prefixed string to the other end of the connection. | 
| Instance Variable | _unprocessed | bytes received, but not yet broken up into messages / sent to stringReceived.  _compatibilityOffset must be updated when this value is updated so that the recvd attribute can be generated correctly. | 
  
| Instance Variable | _compatibilityOffset | the offset within _unprocessed to the next message to be parsed. (used to generate the recvd attribute) | 
  
Inherited from Protocol:
| Method | logPrefix | Return a prefix matching the class name, to identify log messages related to this protocol instance. | 
| Method | connectionLost | Called when the connection is shut down. | 
Inherited from BaseProtocol (via Protocol):
| Instance Variable | connected | Undocumented | 
| Instance Variable | transport | Undocumented | 
| Method | makeConnection | Make a connection to a transport and a server. | 
| Method | connectionMade | Called when a connection is made. | 
Inherited from _PauseableMixin:
| Instance Variable | paused | Undocumented | 
| Method | pauseProducing | Undocumented | 
| Method | resumeProducing | Undocumented | 
| Method | stopProducing | Undocumented |

  Override this for notification when each complete string is received.
| Parameters | string | The complete string which was received with all framing (length prefix, etc) removed. (type: bytes) | 
Callback invoked when a length prefix greater than MAX_LENGTH is received.  The default implementation disconnects the transport. Override this.
| Parameters | length | The length prefix which was received. (type: int) | 
Convert int prefixed strings into calls to stringReceived.
Send a prefixed string to the other end of the connection.
| Parameters | string | The string to send.  The necessary framing (length prefix, etc) will be added. (type: bytes) |
