Stephen J Day 249ad3b76d Use "Size" field to describe blobs over "Length" After consideration, we've changed the main descriptor field name to for number of bytes to "size" to match convention. While this may be a subjective argument, commonly we refer to files by their "size" rather than their "length". This will match other conventions, like `(FileInfo).Size()` and methods on `io.SizeReaderAt`. Under more broad analysis, this argument doesn't necessarily hold up. If anything, "size" is shorter than "length". Signed-off-by: Stephen J Day <stephen.day@docker.com>	2015-07-17 17:07:11 -07:00
