1//! Incremental BLOB I/O.
2//!
3//! Note that SQLite does not provide API-level access to change the size of a
4//! BLOB; that must be performed through SQL statements.
5//!
6//! There are two choices for how to perform IO on a [`Blob`].
7//!
8//! 1. The implementations it provides of the `std::io::Read`, `std::io::Write`,
9//!    and `std::io::Seek` traits.
10//!
11//! 2. A positional IO API, e.g. [`Blob::read_at`], [`Blob::write_at`] and
12//!    similar.
13//!
14//! Documenting these in order:
15//!
16//! ## 1. `std::io` trait implementations.
17//!
18//! `Blob` conforms to `std::io::Read`, `std::io::Write`, and `std::io::Seek`,
19//! so it plays nicely with other types that build on these (such as
20//! `std::io::BufReader` and `std::io::BufWriter`). However, you must be careful
21//! with the size of the blob. For example, when using a `BufWriter`, the
22//! `BufWriter` will accept more data than the `Blob` will allow, so make sure
23//! to call `flush` and check for errors. (See the unit tests in this module for
24//! an example.)
25//!
26//! ## 2. Positional IO
27//!
28//! `Blob`s also offer a `pread` / `pwrite`-style positional IO api in the form
29//! of [`Blob::read_at`], [`Blob::write_at`], [`Blob::raw_read_at`],
30//! [`Blob::read_at_exact`], and [`Blob::raw_read_at_exact`].
31//!
32//! These APIs all take the position to read from or write to from as a
33//! parameter, instead of using an internal `pos` value.
34//!
35//! ### Positional IO Read Variants
36//!
37//! For the `read` functions, there are several functions provided:
38//!
39//! - [`Blob::read_at`]
40//! - [`Blob::raw_read_at`]
41//! - [`Blob::read_at_exact`]
42//! - [`Blob::raw_read_at_exact`]
43//!
44//! These can be divided along two axes: raw/not raw, and exact/inexact:
45//!
46//! 1. Raw/not raw refers to the type of the destination buffer. The raw
47//!    functions take a `&mut [MaybeUninit<u8>]` as the destination buffer,
48//!    where the "normal" functions take a `&mut [u8]`.
49//!
50//!    Using `MaybeUninit` here can be more efficient in some cases, but is
51//!    often inconvenient, so both are provided.
52//!
53//! 2. Exact/inexact refers to to whether or not the entire buffer must be
54//!    filled in order for the call to be considered a success.
55//!
56//!    The "exact" functions require the provided buffer be entirely filled, or
57//!    they return an error, whereas the "inexact" functions read as much out of
58//!    the blob as is available, and return how much they were able to read.
59//!
60//!    The inexact functions are preferable if you do not know the size of the
61//!    blob already, and the exact functions are preferable if you do.
62//!
63//! ### Comparison to using the `std::io` traits:
64//!
65//! In general, the positional methods offer the following Pro/Cons compared to
66//! using the implementation `std::io::{Read, Write, Seek}` we provide for
67//! `Blob`:
68//!
69//! 1. (Pro) There is no need to first seek to a position in order to perform IO
70//!    on it as the position is a parameter.
71//!
72//! 2. (Pro) `Blob`'s positional read functions don't mutate the blob in any
73//!    way, and take `&self`. No `&mut` access required.
74//!
75//! 3. (Pro) Positional IO functions return `Err(rusqlite::Error)` on failure,
76//!    rather than `Err(std::io::Error)`. Returning `rusqlite::Error` is more
77//!    accurate and convenient.
78//!
79//!    Note that for the `std::io` API, no data is lost however, and it can be
80//!    recovered with `io_err.downcast::<rusqlite::Error>()` (this can be easy
81//!    to forget, though).
82//!
83//! 4. (Pro, for now). A `raw` version of the read API exists which can allow
84//!    reading into a `&mut [MaybeUninit<u8>]` buffer, which avoids a potential
85//!    costly initialization step. (However, `std::io` traits will certainly
86//!    gain this someday, which is why this is only a "Pro, for now").
87//!
88//! 5. (Con) The set of functions is more bare-bones than what is offered in
89//!    `std::io`, which has a number of adapters, handy algorithms, further
90//!    traits.
91//!
92//! 6. (Con) No meaningful interoperability with other crates, so if you need
93//!    that you must use `std::io`.
94//!
95//! To generalize: the `std::io` traits are useful because they conform to a
96//! standard interface that a lot of code knows how to handle, however that
97//! interface is not a perfect fit for [`Blob`], so another small set of
98//! functions is provided as well.
99//!

112//! // I/O API provides no way of inserting or resizing BLOBs in the DB -- this
