type 'a
stream
type 'a
step = private
A stream may be composed by several substreams.
Thus a stream is either something that contains the current buffer and
a function to retrieve the following data,
or a finished stream with possibly another stream following.
type 'a
t
type
outcome = [ `Failure | `Success ]
val make : ?finalize:(outcome -> unit Lwt.t) ->
(unit -> 'a step Lwt.t) -> 'a t
creates a new stream
val get : 'a t -> 'a stream
call this function if you decide to start reading a stream.
Raises Already_read
if the stream has already been read.
val next : 'a stream -> 'a step Lwt.t
get the next step of a stream.
Fails with Interrupted e
if reading the thread failed with exception e
,
and with Cancelled
if the thread has been cancelled.
val empty : (unit -> 'a step Lwt.t) option -> 'a step Lwt.t
creates an empty step. The parameter is the following substream, if any.
val cont : 'a -> (unit -> 'a step Lwt.t) -> 'a step Lwt.t
creates a non empty step.
val add_finalizer : 'a t -> (outcome -> unit Lwt.t) -> unit
Add a finalizer function. In the current version,
finalizers must be called manually.
val finalize : 'a t -> outcome -> unit Lwt.t
Finalize the stream. This function must be called explicitely after reading
the stream, otherwise finalizers won't be called.
val cancel : 'a t -> unit Lwt.t
Cancel the stream, i.e. read the stream until the end, without decoding.
Further tries to read on the stream will fail with exception
Ocsigen_stream.Cancelled
val consume : 'a t -> unit Lwt.t
Consume without cancelling.
Read the stream until the end, without decoding.
exception Stream_too_small
possibly with the size of the stream
exception Stream_error of string
exception String_too_large
val string_of_stream : int -> string stream -> string Lwt.t
Creates a string from a stream. The first argument is the upper limit of the
string length
val enlarge_stream : string step -> string step Lwt.t
Read more data in the buffer
val stream_want : string step -> int -> string step Lwt.t
stream_want s len
Returns a stream with at least len
bytes in the buffer if possible
val current_buffer : string step -> string
Returns the value of the current buffer
val skip : string step -> int64 -> string step Lwt.t
Skips data. Raises Stream_too_small (Some size)
if the stream is too small, where size
is the size of the stream.
val substream : string -> string step -> string step Lwt.t
Cut the stream at the position given by a string delimiter
val of_file : string -> string t
returns a stream reading from a file.
Do not forget to finalize the stream to close the file.
val of_string : string -> string t
returns a stream containing a string.
val of_lwt_stream : 'a Lwt_stream.t -> 'a t
val to_lwt_stream : 'a t -> 'a Lwt_stream.t
