Macro peel_ip::prelude::take_while

macro_rules! take_while {

    (
$ input : expr , $ f : expr ) => { ... };
}

take_while!(T -> bool) => &[T] -> IResult<&[T], &[T]> returns the longest list of bytes until the provided function fails.

The argument is either a function T -> bool or a macro returning a bool.
