Request

The payload is the tag byte 9 followed by the name of the volume as a varint length and UTF-8 bytes and its size in bytes as a varint, in the postcard wire format.

The payload of the request is the tag byte followed by the request in the postcard wire format, as the postcard reading of Notation provides:

[9][name_len: varint][name: utf8 …][bytes: varint]
  • name. The name of the volume, UTF-8, preceded by its byte length as a varint. It is the name of a volume in the client’s volumes::list listing.
  • bytes. The size the volume has after the edit, in bytes, as a varint. It is absolute, not a difference from the current size.
  • Bytes after the request. A server ignores every byte that follows the bytes field. A request whose payload extends past the request is not malformed.
  • Malformed. A payload with no byte, a payload whose first byte is not 9, and a payload whose bytes after the tag do not decode as the request are malformed. Endpoints states how a server answers a request it cannot read.

The request is defined by diverge-provider-sdk/src/endpoints/volumes/edit/client/request/frame.rs:

//! What a client's request frame carries for a volume edit.

use serde::{Deserialize, Serialize};

use crate::encode::{Encode, Writer};

/// Change how many bytes a volume reserves.
///
/// The only thing about a volume that can be edited. Its
/// [`name`](Self::name) cannot — the name is the handle, and a handle
/// that changed would leave every
/// [`VolumeMount`](crate::shared::containers::request::VolumeMount)
/// and every [`watch`](crate::endpoints::volumes::watch) naming
/// something that is no longer there.
///
/// So this names the volume and states the new size. Both fields, and
/// only one of them is being set.
