A helper class which allows you to easily parse protocols which are delimited by a sequence of bytes, or fixed size records.

Instances of this class take as input Buffer instances containing raw bytes, and output records.

For example, if I had a simple ASCII text protocol delimited by '\n' and the input was the following:

buffer1:HELLO\nHOW ARE Y
buffer2:OU?\nI AM
buffer3: DOING OK
buffer4:\n
Then the output would be:

buffer1:HELLO
buffer2:HOW ARE YOU?
buffer3:I AM DOING OK
Instances of this class can be changed between delimited mode and fixed size record mode on the fly as individual records are read, this allows you to parse protocols where, for example, the first 5 records might all be fixed size (of potentially different sizes), followed by some delimited records, followed by more fixed size records.

Instances of this class can't currently be used for protocols where the text is encoded with something other than a 1-1 byte-char mapping.

Please see the documentation for more information.

Flip the parser into delimited mode, and where the delimiter can be represented by the String delim encoded in latin-1 . Don't use this if your String contains other than latin-1 characters.

This method can be called multiple times with different values of delim while data is being parsed.
