If req is not NULL, the function assumes that req is a -pointer to a request in the client's request buffer, and the return -value will be a pointer to the the start of the complete request that -follows req. If the complete request is not available, the function -returns NULL; pointers to partial requests will never be returned. If -(and only if) readmore is TRUE, PeekNextRequest should try to read an -additional request from the client if one is not already available in -the client's request buffer.

The -next field, the length, can be accessed with ReqLen. Fields beyond -that can be accessed with CastxReq.
