<h3 class="section">4.9 Packet I/O</h3>
<p>Monotone can produce and consume data in a convenient, portable form
called <em>packets</em>. A packet is a sequence of ASCII text, wrapped at
70-columns and easily sent through email or other transports. If you
wish to manually transmit a piece of information – for example a
public key – from one monotone database to another, it is often
convenient to read and write packets.
</p>
<p><em>Note:</em> earlier versions of monotone queued and replayed packet
streams for their networking system. This older networking system has
been removed, as the netsync protocol has several properties which
make it a superior communication system. However, the packet I/O
facility will remain in monotone as a utility for moving individual
data items around manually.
