#
# @data: data to write

# @format: data encoding (default 'utf8').
#          - base64: data must be base64 encoded text.  Its binary

#          - utf8: the data read is interpreted as UTF-8.
#            Bug: can screw up when the buffer contains invalid UTF-8
#            sequences, NUL characters, after the ring buffer lost
#            data, and when reading stops because the size limit is
#            reached.
