About

Sifting for the Corrade scripted agent means to filter out the results of a command returned to a callback. The purpose of sifting is to trim the results that a command produces such that the results may be easier to handle by the scripting language used. In the context of SecondLife, an LSL script can receive via HTTP a total of $2KiB$ of data such that Corrade commands that produce data sets far larger than $2KiB$ would be truncated when received by the LSL script. Technically, sifting is implemented in Corrade using a set of map-reduce-like commands that act on the output produced by all commands.
