Struct ebml_iterable::TagIterator

pub struct TagIterator<R: Read, TSpec>where
    TSpec: EbmlSpecification<TSpec> + EbmlTag<TSpec> + Clone,{ /* private fields */ }

Provides an iterator over EBML files (read from a source implementing the std::io::Read trait). Can be configured to read specific “Master” tags as complete objects rather than just emitting when they start and end.

This is a generic struct that requires a specification implementing EbmlSpecification and EbmlTag. No specifications are included in this crate - you will need to either use another crate providing a spec (such as the Matroska spec implemented in the webm-iterable or write your own spec if you want to iterate over a custom EBML file. The iterator outputs TSpec variants representing the type of tag (defined by the specification) and the accompanying tag data. “Master” tags (defined by the specification) usually will be read as Start and End variants, but the iterator can be configured to buffer Master tags into a Full variant using the tags_to_buffer parameter.

Note: The Self::with_capacity() method can be used to construct a TagIterator with a specified default buffer size. This is only useful as a microoptimization to memory management if you know the maximum tag size of the file you’re reading.

Example

use std::fs::File;
use ebml_iterable::TagIterator;

let file = File::open("my_ebml_file.ebml")?;
let mut my_iterator: TagIterator<_, EmptySpec> = TagIterator::new(file, &[]);
for tag in my_iterator {
  println!("{:?}", tag?);
}

Errors

The Item type for the associated Iterator implementation is a Result<TSpec, TagIteratorError>, meaning each next() call has the potential to fail. This is because the source data is not parsed all at once - it is incrementally parsed as the iterator progresses. If the iterator runs into an error (such as corrupted data or an unexpected end-of-file), it needs to be propagated to the logic trying to read the tags. The different possible error states are enumerated in TagIteratorError.

Panics

The iterator can panic if <TSpec> is an internally inconsistent specification (i.e. it claims that a specific tag id has a specific data type but fails to produce a tag variant using data of that type). This won’t happen if the specification being used was created using the #[ebml_specification] attribute macro.

Implementations

impl<R: Read, TSpec> TagIterator<R, TSpec>where TSpec: EbmlSpecification<TSpec> + EbmlTag<TSpec> + Clone,

pub fn new(source: R, tags_to_buffer: &[TSpec]) -> Self

Returns a new TagIterator<TSpec> instance.

The source parameter must implement std::io::Read. The second argument, tags_to_buffer, specifies which “Master” tags should be read as Master::Fulls rather than as Master::Start and Master::Ends. Refer to the documentation on TagIterator for more explanation of how to use the returned instance.

pub fn with_capacity(source: R, tags_to_buffer: &[TSpec], capacity: usize) -> Self

Returns a new TagIterator<TSpec> instance with the specified internal buffer capacity.

This initializes the TagIterator with a specific byte capacity. The iterator will still reallocate if necessary. (Reallocation occurs if the iterator comes across a tag that should be output as a Master::Full and its size in bytes is greater than the iterator’s current buffer capacity.)

pub fn allow_errors(&mut self, errors: &[AllowableErrors])

Configures how strictly the iterator abides <TSpec>.

By default (as of v0.5.0), the iterator assumes <TSpec> is complete and that any tags that do not conform to <TSpec> are due to corrupted file data. This method can be used to relax some of these checks so that fewer TagIteratorError::CorruptedFileData errors occur.

Important

Relaxing these checks do not necessarily make the iterator more robust. If all errors are allowed, the iterator will assume any incoming tag id and tag data size are valid, and it will produce “RawTag“s containing binary contents for any tag ids not in <TSpec>. However, if the file truly has corrupted data, the “size” of these elements will likely be corrupt as well. This can typically result in requests for massive allocations, causing delays and eventual crashing. By eagerly returning errors (the default), applications can decide how to handle corrupted elements more quickly and efficiently.

tldr; allow errors at your own risk

Note: TagIterators returned by Self::new() and Self::with_capacity() allow no errors by default.

pub fn try_recover(&mut self) -> Result<(), TagIteratorError>

Instructs the iterator to attempt to recover after reaching corrupted file data.

This method can be used to skip over corrupted sections of a read stream without recreating a new iterator. The iterator will seek forward from its current internal position until it reaches either a valid EBML tag id or EOF. After recovery, Iterator::next() should return an Ok result.

pub fn into_inner(self) -> R

Consumes self and returns the underlying read stream.

Note that any leftover tags in the internal emission queue are lost, and any data read into TagIterator’s internal buffer is dropped. Therefore, constructing a new TagIterator using the returned stream may lead to data loss unless it is rewound.

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

Gets a mutable reference to the underlying read stream.

It is inadvisable to directly read from the underlying stream.

pub fn get_ref(&self) -> &R

Gets a reference to the underlying read stream.

It is inadvisable to directly read from the underlying stream.

pub fn last_emitted_tag_offset(&self) -> usize

Returns the byte offset of the last emitted tag.

This function returns a byte index specifying the start of the last emitted tag in the context of the TagIterator’s source read stream. This value is not guaranteed to always increase as the file is read. Whenever the iterator emits a Master::End variant, Self::last_emitted_tag_offset() will reflect the start index of the “Master” tag, which will be before previous values that were obtainable when any children of the master were emitted.
