57<LI>bodyp points to a sequence of bytes.
58It is <EM>not</EM> a C string (a sequence of characters that is terminated by '\0').
59Therefore, do not use the usual C string functions like <CODE>strlen(3)</CODE>
60on this byte block.
61Moreover, the byte sequence may contain '\0' characters inside the block.
62Hence even if a trailing '\0' is added, C string functions may still fail
63to work as expected.
64<LI>Since message bodies can be very large, defining xxfi_body can
65significantly impact filter performance.
66<LI>End-of-lines are represented as received from SMTP (normally CR/LF).
67<LI>Later filters will see body changes made by earlier ones.
68<LI>Message bodies may be sent in multiple chunks, with one call to
69    xxfi_body per chunk.
70<LI>Return
71<A HREF="api.html#SMFIS_SKIP">SMFIS_SKIP</A>
72if a milter has received sufficiently many
73body chunks to make a decision,
74but still wants to invoke
75message modification functions that are only allowed to be called from
76<A HREF="xxfi_eom.html">xxfi_eom()</A>.

80the protocol action

82is available and if so, the milter must request it.
