pub struct StreamReader { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

An unbuffered and unlocked input byte stream, implementing Read, abstracted over the source of the input.

It primarily consists of a single file handle, and also contains any resources needed to safely hold the file handle live.

Since it is unbuffered, and since many input sources have high per-call overhead, it is often beneficial to wrap this in a BufReader.

Implementations§

Read from standard input.

Unlike std::io::stdin, this stdin returns a stream which is unbuffered and unlocked.

Since it is unbuffered, it is often beneficial to wrap the resulting StreamReader in a BufReader.

This acquires a std::io::StdinLock (in a non-recursive way) to prevent accesses to std::io::Stdin while this is live, and fails if a StreamReader or StreamDuplexer for standard input already exists.

Read from an open file, taking ownership of it.

This method can be passed a std::fs::File or similar File types.

Read from an open TCP stream, taking ownership of it.

This method can be passed a std::net::TcpStream or similar TcpStream types.

Read from the reading end of an open pipe, taking ownership of it.

Spawn the given command and read from its standard output.

Read from a child process’ standard output, taking ownership of it.

Read from a child process’ standard error, taking ownership of it.

Read from a boxed Read implementation, taking ownership of it. This works by creating a new thread to read the data and write it through a pipe.
