Overview

An IO that reads and writes from a buffer in memory.

The internal buffer can be resizeable and/or writeable depending on how a MemoryIO is constructed.

Class Method Detail

def self.new(string : String) #

Creates a MemoryIO whose contents are the exact contents of string. The created MemoryIO is non-resizeable and non-writeable.

The IO starts at position zero for reading.

io = MemoryIO.new "hello"
io.pos        # => 0
io.gets(2)    # => "he"
io.print "hi" # raises

[View source]
def self.new(slice : Slice(UInt8), writeable = true) #

Creates a MemoryIO that will read, and optionally write, from/to the given slice. The created MemoryIO is non-resizeable.

The IO starts at position zero for reading.

slice = Slice.new(6) { |i| ('a'.ord + i).to_u8 }
io = MemoryIO.new slice, writeable: false
io.pos  # => 0
io.read # => "abcdef"

[View source]
def self.new(capacity : Int = 64) #

Creates an empty, resizeable and writeable MemoryIO with the given initialize capactiy for the internal buffer.

io = MemoryIO.new
io.pos  # => 0
io.read # => ""

Instance Method Detail

def buffer : Pointer(UInt8) #

Returns the internal buffer as a Pointer(UInt8).


[View source]
def bytesize : Int32 #

Same as #size.


[View source]
def clear #

Clears the internal buffer and resets the position to zero. Raises if this MemoryIO is non-resizeable.

io = MemoryIO.new "hello"
io.gets(3) # => "hel"
io.clear
io.pos         # => 0
io.gets_to_end # => ""

[View source]
def close #

Closes this IO. Further operations on this IO will raise an IO::Error.

io = MemoryIO.new "hello"
io.close
io.gets_to_end # => IO::Error: closed stream

[View source]
def closed? : Bool #

Determines if this IO is closed.

io = MemoryIO.new "hello"
io.closed? # => false
io.close
io.closed? # => true

[View source]
def empty? #

Returns true if this MemoryIO has no contents.

io = MemoryIO.new
io.empty? # => true
io.print "hello"
io.empty? # => false

[View source]
def pos #

Returns the current position (in bytes) of this IO.

io = MemoryIO.new "hello"
io.pos     # => 0
io.gets(2) # => "he"
io.pos     # => 2

[View source]
def pos=(value) #

Sets the current position (in bytes) of this IO.

io = MemoryIO.new "hello"
io.pos = 3
io.gets # => "lo"

[View source]
def read(slice : Slice(UInt8)) #

[View source]
def rewind #

Rewinds this IO to the initial position (zero).

io = MemoryIO.new "hello"
io.gets(2) => "he"
io.rewind
io.gets(2) #=> "he"

[View source]
def seek(offset, whence : Seek = Seek::Set) #

Seeks to a given offset (in bytes) according to the whence argument.

io = MemoryIO.new("abcdef")
io.gets(3) # => "abc"
io.seek(1, IO::Seek::Set)
io.gets(2) # => "bc"
io.seek(-1, IO::Seek::Current)
io.gets(1) # => "c"

[View source]
def size : Int32 #

Returns the total number of bytes in this IO.

io = MemoryIO.new "hello"
io.size # => 5

[View source]
def tell : Int32 #

Same as #pos.


[View source]
def to_s(io) #

Appends this internal buffer to the given IO.


[View source]
def to_s #

Returns a new String that contains the contents of the internal buffer.

io = MemoryIO.new
io.print 1, 2, 3
io.to_s # => "123"

[View source]
def to_slice #

Returns a Slice over the internal buffer. Modifying the slice modifies the internal buffer.

io = MemoryIO.new "hello"
slice = io.to_slice
slice[0] = 97_u8
io.gets_to_end # => "aello"

[View source]
def write(slice : Slice(UInt8)) #

See IO#write(slice). Raises if this MemoryIO is non-writeable, or if it's non-resizeable and a resize is needed.


[View source]
def write_byte(byte : UInt8) #

See IO#write_byte. Raises if this MemoryIO is non-writeable, or if it's non-resizeable and a resize is needed.
