Netstream.in_obj_stream
An in_obj_stream
extends in_obj_channel
by look-ahead methods
inherit Netchannels.in_obj_channel
The normal input operations work as usual. The window is moved after * every read sequence of bytes by exactly the number of bytes, and * if the window length becomes smaller than the block size, it will * be ensured that the window will be enlarged to the block size (or * to the rest of the stream until EOF, whatever is smaller).
method window : Netbuffer.t
The look-ahead window. The first byte of the window is the byte that * would be read next by input_char
. The length of the window is returned * by the method window_length
. This length may be smaller than the * current length of the netbuffer, i.e. the netbuffer may contain * additional data that must be ignored.
Increases the length of the window such that the length is at least * the passed number of bytes or that the window reaches EOF (whatever * happens first).
