Struct tokio::io::BufReader

pub struct BufReader<R> { /* fields omitted */ }

The BufReader struct adds buffering to any reader.

It can be excessively inefficient to work directly with a AsyncRead instance. A BufReader performs large, infrequent reads on the underlying AsyncRead and maintains an in-memory buffer of the results.

BufReader can improve the speed of programs that make small and repeated read calls to the same file or network socket. It does not help when reading very large amounts at once, or reading just one or a few times. It also provides no advantage when reading from a source that is already in memory, like a Vec<u8>.

When the BufReader is dropped, the contents of its buffer will be discarded. Creating multiple instances of a BufReader on the same stream can cause data loss.

Methods

impl<R> BufReader<R> where
    R: AsyncRead, 

pub fn new(inner: R) -> BufReader<R>

Creates a new BufReader with a default buffer capacity. The default is currently 8 KB, but may change in the future.

pub fn with_capacity(capacity: usize, inner: R) -> BufReader<R>

Creates a new BufReader with the specified buffer capacity.

Important traits for &'_ mut F

impl<'_, F> Future for &'_ mut F where
    F: Unpin + Future + ?Sized,  type Output = <F as Future>::Output;

pub fn get_ref(&self) -> &R

Gets a reference to the underlying reader.

It is inadvisable to directly read from the underlying reader.

Important traits for &'_ mut F

impl<'_, F> Future for &'_ mut F where
    F: Unpin + Future + ?Sized,  type Output = <F as Future>::Output;

pub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> &mut R

Gets a mutable reference to the underlying reader.

It is inadvisable to directly read from the underlying reader.

Important traits for Pin<P>

impl<P> Future for Pin<P> where
    P: Unpin + DerefMut,
    <P as Deref>::Target: Future,  type Output = <<P as Deref>::Target as Future>::Output;

pub fn get_pin_mut(self: Pin<&mut BufReader<R>>) -> Pin<&mut R>

Gets a pinned mutable reference to the underlying reader.

It is inadvisable to directly read from the underlying reader.

pub fn into_inner(self) -> R

Consumes this BufWriter, returning the underlying reader.

Note that any leftover data in the internal buffer is lost.

pub fn buffer(&self) -> &[u8]

Returns a reference to the internally buffered data.

Unlike fill_buf, this will not attempt to fill the buffer if it is empty.

Trait Implementations

impl<R> AsyncRead for BufReader<R> where
    R: AsyncRead, 

fn poll_read(
    self: Pin<&mut BufReader<R>>,
    cx: &mut Context,
    buf: &mut [u8]
) -> Poll<Result<usize, Error>>

Attempt to read from the AsyncRead into buf.

unsafe fn prepare_uninitialized_buffer(&self, buf: &mut [u8]) -> bool

Prepares an uninitialized buffer to be safe to pass to read. Returns true if the supplied buffer was zeroed out.

fn poll_read_buf<B>(
    self: Pin<&mut Self>,
    cx: &mut Context,
    buf: &mut B
) -> Poll<Result<usize, Error>> where
    B: BufMut, 

Pull some bytes from this source into the specified BufMut, returning how many bytes were read.

impl<R> Debug for BufReader<R> where
    R: AsyncRead + Debug, 

fn fmt(&self, f: &mut Formatter) -> Result<(), Error>

Formats the value using the given formatter.

impl<R> AsyncBufRead for BufReader<R> where
    R: AsyncRead, 

fn poll_fill_buf(
    self: Pin<&mut BufReader<R>>,
    cx: &mut Context
) -> Poll<Result<&[u8], Error>>

Attempt to return the contents of the internal buffer, filling it with more data from the inner reader if it is empty.

fn consume(self: Pin<&mut BufReader<R>>, amt: usize)

Tells this buffer that amt bytes have been consumed from the buffer, so they should no longer be returned in calls to [poll_read].
