11 // Create a new chunk of the specified size. If you specify the data, it

143 The zchunk class works with variable sized blobs. Not as efficient as
144 ZeroMQ’s messages but they do less weirdness and so are easier to
145 understand. The chunk class has methods to read and write chunks from
146 disk.
147 Please add @discuss section in ./../src/zchunk.c.
