Struct positioned_io_preview::Cursor

pub struct Cursor<I> { /* fields omitted */ }

Adapts a ReadAt or WriteAt into a Read or Write.

This wraps anything that read and write at offsets, turning into an object that can read or write at a file position. This allows you to use those types with all the many functions that expect a Read or Write.

Note that seeking on Cursor has limited functionality. We don't know how many bytes are available, so we can't use SeekFrom::End. See SizeCursor for another option.

Examples

use positioned_io::{ReadAt, Cursor};

struct NetworkStorage {
    // A remote disk that supports random access.
}

impl ReadAt for NetworkStorage {
    // ...
}

// Adapt our storage into a Read.
let storage = NetworkStorage::new(SOME_LOCATION);
let curs = Cursor::new_pos(storage, 1 << 30);

// Copy a segment to a file.
let mut input = curs.take(1 << 20);
let mut output = File::create("segment.out")?;
io::copy(&mut input, &mut output)?;

Methods

impl<I> Cursor<I>

pub fn new_pos(io: I, pos: u64) -> Self

Create a new Cursor which starts reading at a specified offset.

Pass in a ReadAt or WriteAt as io.

pub fn new(io: I) -> Self

Create a new Cursor which starts reading at offset zero.

Pass in a ReadAt or WriteAt as io.

pub fn into_inner(self) -> I

Consume self and yield the inner ReadAt or WriteAt.

pub fn get_ref(&self) -> &I

Borrow the inner ReadAt or WriteAt.

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

Borrow the inner ReadAt or WriteAt mutably.

pub fn position(&self) -> u64

Get the current read/write position.

pub fn set_position(&mut self, pos: u64)

Set the current read/write position.

fn read_vectored(&mut self, bufs: &mut [IoVecMut]) -> Result<usize, Error>

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (iovec)

Like read, except that it reads into a slice of buffers.

unsafe fn initializer(&self) -> Initializer

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (read_initializer)

Determines if this Reader can work with buffers of uninitialized memory.

fn read_to_end(&mut self, buf: &mut Vec<u8>) -> Result<usize, Error>

Read all bytes until EOF in this source, placing them into buf.

fn read_to_string(&mut self, buf: &mut String) -> Result<usize, Error>

Read all bytes until EOF in this source, appending them to buf.
