Determines the length of the length field. The desired number of bytes will be read and converted to a number to determine the length of the message. You can specify the following values: 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , or 8.

The default is to read 4 bytes and convert it to an integer.

Indicates if the length read should also include the length field size.

For example, if the option is enabled, a 4-byte message would send a length value of 8. This is because the default length of the length field is 4 bytes and will be added to the message body length. 

Default: true

Specifies the type of conversion used to convert the static prefix/suffix into bytes.

• Specify string and the socket will use getBytes with the configured character set to convert to bytes.
• Specify hex and the string will be parsed as a sequence of hexadecimal values. For example, 0a 0d would be the bytes 10 13.
• Specify byte and the socket will parse the string as a sequence of bytes in decimal values separated by spaces, for example, 10 13.

Default: hex 

Specifies a prefix segment to be added to the message that may be required. If specified, the message format will be <PREFIX_BYTES><LENGTH_FIELD_BYTES><MESSAGE_DATA_BYTES>.

Specifies a suffix segment to be added to the message that may be required. If specified, the message format will be <LENGTH_FIELD_BYTES><MESSAGE_DATA_BYTES><SUFFIX_BYTES>.
