Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`Iterable<Payload>`	`slice(Payload input, long size)`	Returns an `Iterable` of `Payload` instances that are no larger than `size` bytes in length.
`Payload`	`slice(Payload input, long offset, long length)`	Returns a `Payload` that returns input streams from the an underlying payload, where each stream starts at the given offset and is limited to the specified number of bytes.

Payload slice(Payload input,
              long offset,
              long length)
```
    Returns a Payload that returns input streams from the an underlying payload, where each stream starts at the given offset and is limited to the specified number of bytes.
    
    Parameters:
    
    input - the payload from which to get the raw streams
    
    offset - the offset in bytes into the underlying stream where the returned streams will start
    
    length - the maximum length of the returned streams
    
    Throws:
    
    IllegalArgumentException - if offset or length are negative
  - slice
```
Iterable<Payload> slice(Payload input,
                        long size)
```
    Returns an Iterable of Payload instances that are no larger than size bytes in length.
    
    Parameters:
    
    input - the Payload to be sliced
    
    size - the maximum size of each slice
    
    Returns:
    
    an Iterable of Payload instances
