max number of streams?

nut.txt doesn't specify a limit for the number of streams: | stream_count (v) | number of streams in this file | ... | stream_id (v) | Stream identifier | stream_id MUST be < stream_count but a stream id in the frame type table must be less than 250: | stream_id[frame_code] (v) | if FLAG_STREAM_ID is not set then this is the stream number for the | frame following this frame_code | if FLAG_STREAM_ID is set then this value has no meaning | MUST be <250 Does this imply that NUT files can have _any_ number of streams, but stream_id values of 250 or greater must be explicitly coded in frame headers?

but a stream id in the frame type table must be less than 250: | stream_id[frame_code] (v) | if FLAG_STREAM_ID is not set then this is the stream number for the | frame following this frame_code | if FLAG_STREAM_ID is set then this value has no meaning | MUST be <250
Does this imply that NUT files can have _any_ number of streams, but stream_id values of 250 or greater must be explicitly coded in frame headers?
yes that's the intent, iirc. rich
