Struct BufReader

pub struct BufReader<R> { /* private fields */ }

The BufReader struct adds buffering to any reader.

It can be excessively inefficient to work directly with a AsyncRead instance. A BufReader performs large, infrequent reads on the underlying AsyncRead and maintains an in-memory buffer of the results.

BufReader can improve the speed of programs that make small and repeated read calls to the same file or network socket. It does not help when reading very large amounts at once, or reading just one or a few times. It also provides no advantage when reading from a source that is already in memory, like a Vec<u8>.

When the BufReader is dropped, the contents of its buffer will be discarded. Creating multiple instances of a BufReader on the same stream can cause data loss.

Implementations

impl<R> BufReader<R>

where R: AsyncRead,

pub fn new(inner: R) -> BufReader<R>

Creates a new BufReader with a default buffer capacity. The default is currently 8 KB, but may change in the future.

pub fn with_capacity(capacity: usize, inner: R) -> BufReader<R>

Creates a new BufReader with the specified buffer capacity.

pub fn get_ref(&self) -> &R

Acquires a reference to the underlying sink or stream that this combinator is pulling from.

pub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> &mut R

Acquires a mutable reference to the underlying sink or stream that this combinator is pulling from.

Note that care must be taken to avoid tampering with the state of the sink or stream which may otherwise confuse this combinator.

pub fn get_pin_mut(self: Pin<&mut BufReader<R>>) -> Pin<&mut R>

Acquires a pinned mutable reference to the underlying sink or stream that this combinator is pulling from.

Note that care must be taken to avoid tampering with the state of the sink or stream which may otherwise confuse this combinator.

pub fn into_inner(self) -> R

Consumes this combinator, returning the underlying sink or stream.

Note that this may discard intermediate state of this combinator, so care should be taken to avoid losing resources when this is called.

pub fn buffer(&self) -> &[u8]

Returns a reference to the internally buffered data.

Unlike fill_buf, this will not attempt to fill the buffer if it is empty.

impl<R> BufReader<R>

where R: AsyncRead + AsyncSeek,

pub fn seek_relative( self: Pin<&mut BufReader<R>>, offset: i64, ) -> SeeKRelative<'_, R>

Seeks relative to the current position. If the new position lies within the buffer, the buffer will not be flushed, allowing for more efficient seeks. This method does not return the location of the underlying reader, so the caller must track this information themselves if it is required.

pub fn poll_seek_relative( self: Pin<&mut BufReader<R>>, cx: &mut Context<'_>, offset: i64, ) -> Poll<Result<(), Error>>

Attempts to seek relative to the current position. If the new position lies within the buffer, the buffer will not be flushed, allowing for more efficient seeks. This method does not return the location of the underlying reader, so the caller must track this information themselves if it is required.

Trait Implementations

impl<R> AsyncBufRead for BufReader<R>

where R: AsyncRead,

fn poll_fill_buf( self: Pin<&mut BufReader<R>>, cx: &mut Context<'_>, ) -> Poll<Result<&[u8], Error>>

Attempt to return the contents of the internal buffer, filling it with more data from the inner reader if it is empty.

fn consume(self: Pin<&mut BufReader<R>>, amt: usize)

Tells this buffer that amt bytes have been consumed from the buffer, so they should no longer be returned in calls to poll_read.

impl<R> AsyncRead for BufReader<R>

where R: AsyncRead,

fn poll_read( self: Pin<&mut BufReader<R>>, cx: &mut Context<'_>, buf: &mut [u8], ) -> Poll<Result<usize, Error>>

Attempt to read from the AsyncRead into buf.

fn poll_read_vectored( self: Pin<&mut BufReader<R>>, cx: &mut Context<'_>, bufs: &mut [IoSliceMut<'_>], ) -> Poll<Result<usize, Error>>

Attempt to read from the AsyncRead into bufs using vectored IO operations.

impl<R> AsyncSeek for BufReader<R>

where R: AsyncRead + AsyncSeek,

fn poll_seek( self: Pin<&mut BufReader<R>>, cx: &mut Context<'_>, pos: SeekFrom, ) -> Poll<Result<u64, Error>>

Seek to an offset, in bytes, in the underlying reader.

The position used for seeking with SeekFrom::Current(_) is the position the underlying reader would be at if the BufReader had no internal buffer.

Seeking always discards the internal buffer, even if the seek position would otherwise fall within it. This guarantees that calling .into_inner() immediately after a seek yields the underlying reader at the same position.

To seek without discarding the internal buffer, use BufReader::seek_relative or BufReader::poll_seek_relative.

See AsyncSeek for more details.

Note: In the edge case where you’re seeking with SeekFrom::Current(n) where n minus the internal buffer length overflows an i64, two seeks will be performed instead of one. If the second seek returns Err, the underlying reader will be left at the same position it would have if you called seek with SeekFrom::Current(0).

impl<R> AsyncWrite for BufReader<R>

where R: AsyncWrite,

fn poll_write( self: Pin<&mut BufReader<R>>, cx: &mut Context<'_>, buf: &[u8], ) -> Poll<Result<usize, Error>>

Attempt to write bytes from buf into the object.

fn poll_write_vectored( self: Pin<&mut BufReader<R>>, cx: &mut Context<'_>, bufs: &[IoSlice<'_>], ) -> Poll<Result<usize, Error>>

Attempt to write bytes from bufs into the object using vectored IO operations.

fn poll_flush( self: Pin<&mut BufReader<R>>, cx: &mut Context<'_>, ) -> Poll<Result<(), Error>>

Attempt to flush the object, ensuring that any buffered data reach their destination.

fn poll_close( self: Pin<&mut BufReader<R>>, cx: &mut Context<'_>, ) -> Poll<Result<(), Error>>

Attempt to close the object.

impl<R> Debug for BufReader<R>

where R: Debug,

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter<'_>) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<'__pin, R> Unpin for BufReader<R>

where __Origin<'__pin, R>: Unpin,
