+ PLAINTEXT <format> <timestamp>
+ This indicates the format of the plaintext that is about to be
+ written. The format is a 1 byte hex code that shows the
+ format of the plaintext: 62 ('b') is binary data, 74 ('t') is
+ text data with no character set specified, and 75 ('u') is
+ text data encoded in the UTF-8 character set. The timestamp

+ This indicates the length of the plaintext that is about to be
