-   This procedure does timed clamd command and delimited input processing.  
-   It is complex for several reasons:
-       2) Newline delimited commands are indicated by a command which is prefixed by an 'n' character.  
-          This character serves to indicate that the command will contain a newline which will cause
-          command data to be read until the command input buffer is full or a newline is encountered.
-          Once the delimiter is encountered, the data is returned without the prefixing 'n' byte.
-       3) Legacy clamd clients presented commands which may or may not have been delimited by a newline.
-          If a command happens to be delimted by a newline, then only that command (and its newline) is
-          read and passed back, otherwise, all data read (in a single read) which fits in the specified
-          buffer will be returned.
