bytelines 2.5.0

Read input lines as byte slices for high efficiency
Documentation
//! Module exposing APIs based around `BufRead` from stdlib.
use std::io::{BufRead, Error};

/// Provides iteration over bytes of input, split by line.
///
/// Unlike the implementation in the standard library, this requires
/// no allocations and simply references the input lines from the
/// internal buffer. In order to do this safely, we must sacrifice
/// the `Iterator` API, and operate using `while` syntax:
///
/// ```rust
/// use bytelines::*;
/// use std::fs::File;
/// use std::io::BufReader;
///
/// // construct our iterator from our file input
/// let file = File::open("./res/numbers.txt").unwrap();
/// let reader = BufReader::new(file);
/// let mut lines = ByteLines::new(reader);
///
/// // walk our lines using `while` syntax
/// while let Some(line) = lines.next() {
///     // do something with the line, which is Result<&[u8], _>
/// }
/// ```
///
/// For those who prefer the `Iterator` API, this structure implements
/// the `IntoIterator` trait to provide it. This comes at the cost of
/// an allocation of a `Vec` for each line in the `Iterator`. This is
/// negligible in many cases, so often it comes down to which syntax
/// is preferred:
///
/// ```rust
/// use bytelines::*;
/// use std::fs::File;
/// use std::io::BufReader;
///
/// // construct our iterator from our file input
/// let file = File::open("./res/numbers.txt").unwrap();
/// let reader = BufReader::new(file);
/// let mut lines = ByteLines::new(reader);
///
/// // walk our lines using `for` syntax
/// for line in lines.into_iter() {
///     // do something with the line, which is Result<Vec<u8>, _>
/// }
/// ```
