Error

Error :: enum i32 { // No Error None = 0, // EOF is the error returned by `read` when no more input is available EOF = 1, // Unexpected_EOF means that EOF was encountered in the middle of reading a fixed-sized block of data Unexpected_EOF = 2, // Short_Write means that a write accepted fewer bytes than requested but failed to return an explicit error Short_Write = 3, // Invalid_Write means that a write returned an impossible count Invalid_Write = 4, // Short_Buffer means that a read/write required a longer buffer than was provided Short_Buffer = 5, // No_Progress is returned by some implementations of `io.Reader` when many calls // to `read` have failed to return any data or error. // This is usually a sign of a broken `io.Reader` implementation No_Progress = 6, // Invalid whence argument Invalid_Whence = 7, // Invalid offset Invalid_Offset = 8, // Invalid "unread" operation Invalid_Unread = 9, Negative_Read = 10, Negative_Write = 11, Negative_Count = 12, Buffer_Full = 13, // Unknown means that an error has occurred but cannot be categorized Unknown = 14, // Indicates that an attempt to retrieve a Stream's size was made, but the // stream doesn't have a size. No_Size = 15, Permission_Denied = 16, // Stream cannot be used since it has been Closed Closed = 17, // Unsupported is returned when a procedure has not been implemented for an io.Stream Unsupported = -1, Empty = Unsupported, }Source

Limited_Reader

Limited_Reader :: struct { r: Reader, n: i64, }Source

A Limited_Reader reads from r but limits the amount of data returned to just n bytes. Each call to read updates n to reflect the new amount remaining. read returns EOF when n <= 0 or when the underlying r returns EOF.

Seek_From

Seek_From :: enum int { Start = 0, // seek relative to the origin of the file Current = 1, // seek relative to the current offset End = 2, // seek relative to the end }Source

Seek whence values

Stream_Mode

Stream_Mode :: enum int { Close = 0, Flush = 1, Read = 2, Read_At = 3, Write = 4, Write_At = 5, Seek = 6, Size = 7, Destroy = 8, Query = 9, // query what modes are available }Source

Procedures

73

close

close :: proc(s: Closer) -> (err: Error)Source

The behaviour of close after the first call is stream implementation defined. Different streams may document their own behaviour.

copy

copy :: proc(dst: Writer, src: Reader) -> (written: i64, err: Error)Source

copy copies from src to dst till either EOF is reached on src or an error occurs It returns the number of bytes copied and the first error that occurred whilst copying, if any.

copy_buffer

copy_buffer :: proc(dst: Writer, src: Reader, buf: []u8) -> (written: i64, err: Error)Source

copy_buffer is the same as copy except that it stages through the provided buffer (if one is required) rather than allocating a temporary one on the stack through intrinsics.alloca If buf is nil, it is allocate through intrinsics.alloca; otherwise if it has zero length, it will panic

copy_n

copy_n :: proc(dst: Writer, src: Reader, n: i64) -> (written: i64, err: Error)Source

copy_n copies n bytes (or till an error) from src to dst. It returns the number of bytes copied and the first error that occurred whilst copying, if any. On return, written == n if and only if (⟺) err == nil

read

read :: proc(s: Reader, p: []u8, n_read: ^int) -> (n: int, err: Error)Source

read reads up to len(p) bytes into p. It returns the number of bytes read and any error if occurred.

When read encounters an .EOF or error after successfully reading n > 0 bytes, it returns the number of bytes read along with the error.

read_at

read_at :: proc(r: Reader_At, p: []u8, offset: i64, n_read: ^int) -> (n: int, err: Error)Source

read_at reads len(p) bytes into p starting with the provided offset in the underlying Reader_At stream r. It returns the number of bytes read and any error if occurred.

When read_at returns n < len(p), it returns a non-nil Error explaining why.

If n == len(p), err may be either nil or .EOF

read_at_least

read_at_least :: proc(r: Reader, buf: []u8, min: int) -> (n: int, err: Error)Source

read_at_least reads from r into buf until it has read at least min bytes. It returns the number of bytes copied and an error if fewer bytes were read. .EOF is only returned if no bytes were read. .Unexpected_EOF is returned when an .EOF is returned by the passed Reader after reading fewer than min bytes. If len(buf) is less than min, .Short_Buffer is returned.

seek

seek :: proc(s: Seeker, offset: i64, whence: Seek_From) -> (n: i64, err: Error)Source

seek sets the offset of the next read or write to offset.

.Start means seek relative to the origin of the file. .Current means seek relative to the current offset. .End means seek relative to the end.

seek returns the new offset to the start of the file/stream, and any error if occurred.

size

size :: proc(s: Stream) -> (n: i64, err: Error)Source

size returns the size of the stream. If the stream does not support querying its size, 0 will be returned.

tee_reader_init

tee_reader_init :: proc(t: ^Tee_Reader, r: Reader, w: Writer, allocator: mem.Allocator = context.allocator) -> (Reader)Source

tee_reader_init returns a Reader that writes to 'w' what it reads from 'r' All reads from 'r' performed through it are matched with a corresponding write to 'w' There is no internal buffering done The write must complete before th read completes Any error encountered whilst writing is reported as a 'read' error tee_reader_init must call io.destroy when done with

write

write :: proc(s: Writer, p: []u8, n_written: ^int) -> (n: int, err: Error)Source

write writes up to len(p) bytes into p. It returns the number of bytes written and any error if occurred.

write_at

write_at :: proc(w: Writer_At, p: []u8, offset: i64, n_written: ^int) -> (n: int, err: Error)Source

write_at writes len(p) bytes into p starting with the provided offset in the underlying Writer_At stream w. It returns the number of bytes written and any error if occurred.

If write_at is writing to a Writer_At which has a seek offset, then write_at should not affect the underlying seek offset.
