11.4. Shared Memory Article Structure

The server writes articles in a Pascal-style string, where the first 4 bytes contain the length "n" of the article, and the next "n" bytes contain the article. The 4 byte length is written in host byte order, and is NOT guaranteed to be word-aligned. The article is guaranteed to be terminated with the Usenet-standard \r\n.\r\n article termination sequence.
