pub struct BufReader<R> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description

Adds buffering to a reader.

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

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

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

Examples

use futures_lite::io::{AsyncBufReadExt, BufReader};

let input: &[u8] = b"hello";
let mut reader = BufReader::new(input);

let mut line = String::new();
reader.read_line(&mut line).await?;

Implementations

Creates a buffered reader with the default buffer capacity.

The default capacity is currently 8 KB, but that may change in the future.

Examples
use futures_lite::io::BufReader;

let input: &[u8] = b"hello";
let reader = BufReader::new(input);

Creates a buffered reader with the specified capacity.

Examples
use futures_lite::io::BufReader;

let input: &[u8] = b"hello";
let reader = BufReader::with_capacity(1024, input);

Gets a reference to the underlying reader.

It is not advisable to directly read from the underlying reader.

Examples
use futures_lite::io::BufReader;

let input: &[u8] = b"hello";
let reader = BufReader::new(input);

let r = reader.get_ref();

Gets a mutable reference to the underlying reader.

It is not advisable to directly read from the underlying reader.

Examples
use futures_lite::io::BufReader;

let input: &[u8] = b"hello";
let mut reader = BufReader::new(input);

let r = reader.get_mut();

Returns a reference to the internal buffer.

This method will not attempt to fill the buffer if it is empty.

Examples
use futures_lite::io::BufReader;

let input: &[u8] = b"hello";
let reader = BufReader::new(input);

// The internal buffer is empty until the first read request.
assert_eq!(reader.buffer(), &[]);

Unwraps the buffered reader, returning the underlying reader.

Note that any leftover data in the internal buffer will be lost.

Examples
use futures_lite::io::BufReader;

let input: &[u8] = b"hello";
let reader = BufReader::new(input);

assert_eq!(reader.into_inner(), input);

Attempt to read from the AsyncRead into bufs using vectored IO operations. Read more

Seeks to an offset, in bytes, in the underlying reader.

The position used for seeking with SeekFrom::Current is the position the underlying reader would be at if the BufReader had no internal buffer.

Seeking always discards the internal buffer, even if the seek position would otherwise fall within it. This guarantees that calling into_inner() immediately after a seek yields the underlying reader at the same position.

See AsyncSeek for more details.

Note: In the edge case where you’re seeking with SeekFrom::Current(n) where n minus the internal buffer length overflows an i64, two seeks will be performed instead of one. If the second seek returns Err, the underlying reader will be left at the same position it would have if you called seek() with SeekFrom::Current(0).
