This method must be called once for each attribute in the header passed to SMFSerializerType.serializeHeader(com.io7m.smfj.core.SMFHeader) in the order the attributes are specified by SMFHeader.attributesInOrder().

If the method raises an exception, the serializer is considered to have failed and all subsequent method calls will raise IllegalArgumentException.

Parameters:

name - The attribute name

Returns:

A serializer for the data values

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - Iff the given attribute is not the next expected attribute

IllegalStateException - If too few values have been serialized for the attribute previously passed to this method

IllegalStateException - If the header has not yet been serialized

IllegalStateException - If the serializer has previously failed

IOException - On I/O errors
