Struct Buffer

pub struct Buffer(/* private fields */);

Write colored text to memory.

Buffer is a platform independent abstraction for printing colored text to an in memory buffer. When the buffer is printed using a BufferWriter, the color information will be applied to the output device (a tty on Unix and a console on Windows).

A Buffer is typically created by calling the BufferWriter.buffer method, which will take color preferences and the environment into account. However, buffers can also be manually created using no_color, ansi or console (on Windows).

Implementations

impl Buffer

pub fn no_color() -> Buffer

Create a buffer that drops all color information.

pub fn ansi() -> Buffer

Create a buffer that uses ANSI escape sequences.

pub fn is_empty(&self) -> bool

Returns true if and only if this buffer is empty.

pub fn len(&self) -> usize

Returns the length of this buffer in bytes.

pub fn clear(&mut self)

Clears this buffer.

pub fn into_inner(self) -> Vec<u8>

Consume this buffer and return the underlying raw data.

On Windows, this unrecoverably drops all color information associated with the buffer.

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

Return the underlying data of the buffer.

pub fn as_mut_slice(&mut self) -> &mut [u8]

Return the underlying data of the buffer as a mutable slice.

Trait Implementations

impl Write for Buffer

fn write(&mut self, buf: &[u8]) -> Result<usize>

Writes a buffer into this writer, returning how many bytes were written.

fn flush(&mut self) -> Result<()>

Flushes this output stream, ensuring that all intermediately buffered contents reach their destination.

fn write_vectored(&mut self, bufs: &[IoSlice<'_>]) -> Result<usize, Error>

Like write, except that it writes from a slice of buffers.

fn is_write_vectored(&self) -> bool

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (can_vector)

Determines if this Writer has an efficient write_vectored implementation.

fn write_all(&mut self, buf: &[u8]) -> Result<(), Error>

Attempts to write an entire buffer into this writer.

fn write_all_vectored(&mut self, bufs: &mut [IoSlice<'_>]) -> Result<(), Error>

🔬This is a nightly-only experimental API. (write_all_vectored)

Attempts to write multiple buffers into this writer.

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

Writes a formatted string into this writer, returning any error encountered.

fn by_ref(&mut self) -> &mut Self

where Self: Sized,

Creates a “by reference” adapter for this instance of Write.

impl WriteColor for Buffer

fn supports_color(&self) -> bool

Returns true if and only if the underlying writer supports colors.

fn set_color(&mut self, spec: &ColorSpec) -> Result<()>

Set the color settings of the writer.

fn reset(&mut self) -> Result<()>

Reset the current color settings to their original settings.

fn is_synchronous(&self) -> bool

Returns true if and only if the underlying writer must synchronously interact with an end user’s device in order to control colors. By default, this always returns false.
