/**
 * A decoder that splits the received {@link ByteBuf}s dynamically by the
 * value of the length field in the message.  It is particularly useful when you
 * decode a binary message which has an integer header field that represents the
 * length of the message body or the whole message.
 * <p>
 * {@link LengthFieldBasedFrameDecoder} has many configuration parameters so
 * that it can decode any message with a length field, which is often seen in
 * proprietary client-server protocols. Here are some example that will give
 * you the basic idea on which option does what.
 *
 * <h3>2 bytes length field at offset 0, do not strip header
 *
 * The value of the length field in this example is <tt>12 (0x0C) which
 * represents the length of "HELLO, WORLD".  By default, the decoder assumes
 * that the length field represents the number of the bytes that follows the
 * length field.  Therefore, it can be decoded with the simplistic parameter
 * combination.
 * <pre>
 * <b>lengthFieldOffset   = 0
 * <b>lengthFieldLength   = 2
 * lengthAdjustment    = 0
 * initialBytesToStrip = 0 (= do not strip header)
 *
 * BEFORE DECODE (14 bytes)         AFTER DECODE (14 bytes)
 * +--------+----------------+      +--------+----------------+
 * | Length | Actual Content |----->| Length | Actual Content |
 * | 0x000C | "HELLO, WORLD" |      | 0x000C | "HELLO, WORLD" |
 * +--------+----------------+      +--------+----------------+
 * </pre>
 *
 * <h3>2 bytes length field at offset 0, strip header
 *
 * Because we can get the length of the content by calling
 * {@link ByteBuf#readableBytes()}, you might want to strip the length
 * field by specifying <tt>initialBytesToStrip.  In this example, we
 * specified <tt>2, that is same with the length of the length field, to
 * strip the first two bytes.
 * <pre>
 * lengthFieldOffset   = 0
 * lengthFieldLength   = 2
 * lengthAdjustment    = 0
 * <b>initialBytesToStrip = 2 (= the length of the Length field)
 *
 * BEFORE DECODE (14 bytes)         AFTER DECODE (12 bytes)
 * +--------+----------------+      +----------------+
 * | Length | Actual Content |----->| Actual Content |
 * | 0x000C | "HELLO, WORLD" |      | "HELLO, WORLD" |
 * +--------+----------------+      +----------------+
 * </pre>
 *
 * <h3>2 bytes length field at offset 0, do not strip header, the length field
 *     represents the length of the whole message</h3>
 *
 * In most cases, the length field represents the length of the message body
 * only, as shown in the previous examples.  However, in some protocols, the
 * length field represents the length of the whole message, including the
 * message header.  In such a case, we specify a non-zero
 * <tt>lengthAdjustment.  Because the length value in this example message
 * is always greater than the body length by <tt>2, we specify -2
 * as <tt>lengthAdjustment for compensation.
 * <pre>
 * lengthFieldOffset   =  0
 * lengthFieldLength   =  2
 * <b>lengthAdjustment    = -2 (= the length of the Length field)
 * initialBytesToStrip =  0
 *
 * BEFORE DECODE (14 bytes)         AFTER DECODE (14 bytes)
 * +--------+----------------+      +--------+----------------+
 * | Length | Actual Content |----->| Length | Actual Content |
 * | 0x000E | "HELLO, WORLD" |      | 0x000E | "HELLO, WORLD" |
 * +--------+----------------+      +--------+----------------+
 * </pre>
 *
 * <h3>3 bytes length field at the end of 5 bytes header, do not strip header
 *
 * The following message is a simple variation of the first example.  An extra
 * header value is prepended to the message.  <tt>lengthAdjustment is zero
 * again because the decoder always takes the length of the prepended data into
 * account during frame length calculation.
 * <pre>
 * <b>lengthFieldOffset   = 2 (= the length of Header 1)
 * <b>lengthFieldLength   = 3
 * lengthAdjustment    = 0
 * initialBytesToStrip = 0
 *
 * BEFORE DECODE (17 bytes)                      AFTER DECODE (17 bytes)
 * +----------+----------+----------------+      +----------+----------+----------------+
 * | Header 1 |  Length  | Actual Content |----->| Header 1 |  Length  | Actual Content |
 * |  0xCAFE  | 0x00000C | "HELLO, WORLD" |      |  0xCAFE  | 0x00000C | "HELLO, WORLD" |
 * +----------+----------+----------------+      +----------+----------+----------------+
 * </pre>
 *
 * <h3>3 bytes length field at the beginning of 5 bytes header, do not strip header
 *
 * This is an advanced example that shows the case where there is an extra
 * header between the length field and the message body.  You have to specify a
 * positive <tt>lengthAdjustment so that the decoder counts the extra
 * header into the frame length calculation.
 * <pre>
 * lengthFieldOffset   = 0
 * lengthFieldLength   = 3
 * <b>lengthAdjustment    = 2 (= the length of Header 1)
 * initialBytesToStrip = 0
 *
 * BEFORE DECODE (17 bytes)                      AFTER DECODE (17 bytes)
 * +----------+----------+----------------+      +----------+----------+----------------+
 * |  Length  | Header 1 | Actual Content |----->|  Length  | Header 1 | Actual Content |
 * | 0x00000C |  0xCAFE  | "HELLO, WORLD" |      | 0x00000C |  0xCAFE  | "HELLO, WORLD" |
 * +----------+----------+----------------+      +----------+----------+----------------+
 * </pre>
 *
 * <h3>2 bytes length field at offset 1 in the middle of 4 bytes header,
 *     strip the first header field and the length field</h3>
 *
 * This is a combination of all the examples above.  There are the prepended
 * header before the length field and the extra header after the length field.
 * The prepended header affects the <tt>lengthFieldOffset and the extra
 * header affects the <tt>lengthAdjustment.  We also specified a non-zero
 * <tt>initialBytesToStrip to strip the length field and the prepended
 * header from the frame.  If you don't want to strip the prepended header, you
 * could specify <tt>0 for initialBytesToSkip.
 * <pre>
 * lengthFieldOffset   = 1 (= the length of HDR1)
 * lengthFieldLength   = 2
 * <b>lengthAdjustment    = 1 (= the length of HDR2)
 * <b>initialBytesToStrip = 3 (= the length of HDR1 + LEN)
 *
 * BEFORE DECODE (16 bytes)                       AFTER DECODE (13 bytes)
 * +------+--------+------+----------------+      +------+----------------+
 * | HDR1 | Length | HDR2 | Actual Content |----->| HDR2 | Actual Content |
 * | 0xCA | 0x000C | 0xFE | "HELLO, WORLD" |      | 0xFE | "HELLO, WORLD" |
 * +------+--------+------+----------------+      +------+----------------+
 * </pre>
 *
 * <h3>2 bytes length field at offset 1 in the middle of 4 bytes header,
 *     strip the first header field and the length field, the length field
 *     represents the length of the whole message</h3>
 *
 * Let's give another twist to the previous example.  The only difference from
 * the previous example is that the length field represents the length of the
 * whole message instead of the message body, just like the third example.
 * We have to count the length of HDR1 and Length into <tt>lengthAdjustment.
 * Please note that we don't need to take the length of HDR2 into account
 * because the length field already includes the whole header length.
 * <pre>
 * lengthFieldOffset   =  1
 * lengthFieldLength   =  2
 * <b>lengthAdjustment    = -3 (= the length of HDR1 + LEN, negative)
