Struct tokio::io::BufReader

source ·
pub struct BufReader<R> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

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§

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

Creates a new BufReader with the specified buffer capacity.

Gets a reference to the underlying reader.

It is inadvisable to directly read from the underlying reader.

Gets a mutable reference to the underlying reader.

It is inadvisable to directly read from the underlying reader.

Gets a pinned mutable reference to the underlying reader.

It is inadvisable to directly read from the underlying reader.

Consumes this BufReader, returning the underlying reader.

Note that any leftover data in the internal buffer is lost.

Returns a reference to the internally buffered data.

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

Trait Implementations§

Attempts to return the contents of the internal buffer, filling it with more data from the inner reader if it is empty. Read more
Tells this buffer that amt bytes have been consumed from the buffer, so they should no longer be returned in calls to poll_read. Read more
Attempts to read from the AsyncRead into buf. Read more

Seeks 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.

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).

Waits for a seek operation to complete. Read more
Attempt to write bytes from buf into the object. Read more
Like poll_write, except that it writes from a slice of buffers. Read more
