OK, RFC 26 assumes you have some mechanism to send/recv frames. So the
command comes at the start of the frame, and consists of a 1-octet
length plus the name, so [5]READY.

If you are reading raw ZeroMQ frames then you also get the frame
header, two bytes containing the command size. So, content + 3.
