You could just define data type and Binary instance for 9P messages. Something
like this:
P9Message = Tversion { tag :: Word16, msize :: Word32, version :: String }
| ...
instance Binary P9Message where
put (Tverstion t m v) = putWord16le t >> putWord32le m >> put v
-- and so on...
get = do
length <- getWord32le
id <- getWord16le
case is of
p9TMessage -> do ...
There are a lot of boilerplate code thought...
BTW could you say what do you want to do with 9P? I tried to play with it
using libixp library but without any success. It was mainly to understand how
does it works and how can it be used.
