NewScanner creates a new carbon scanner.

Parse parses a carbon line into the corresponding parts.

ParseAndAppendPacket does the same thing as parse packet, but it allows the caller to pass in the []Metric to facilitate pooling.

ParseName parses out the name portion of a string and returns the name and the remaining portion of the line.

ParsePacket parses a carbon packet and returns the metrics and number of malformed lines.

ParseRemainder parses a line's components (name and remainder) and returns all but the name and returns the timestamp of the metric, its value, the time it was received and any error encountered.

Metric represents a carbon metric.

A Scanner is used to scan carbon lines from an underlying io.Reader.
