Module `Netbuffer`Source

A Netbuffer.t is a buffer that can grow and shrink dynamically.

Sourcetype t

Sourceval create : int -> t

Creates a netbuffer which allocates initially this number of bytes. * The logical length is zero.

Sourceval contents : t -> string

Returns the contents of the buffer as fresh string.

Sourceval to_bytes : t -> Bytes.t

Returns the contents of the buffer as fresh string.

Sourceval to_tstring_poly : t -> 's Netstring_tstring.tstring_kind -> 's

Return the buffer in the format as selected by the arg

Sourceval to_tstring : t -> _ Netstring_tstring.tstring_kind -> Netsys_types.tstring

Returns the buffer as tagged string, selecting the chosen representation

Sourceval length : t -> int

Returns the logical length of the buffer

Extracting strings

Sourceval get : t -> int -> char

get nb pos: Get the character at pos

Sourceval nth : t -> int -> char

Alias for get

Sourceval sub : t -> int -> int -> string

sub nb k n: returns the n characters starting at position n from * netbuffer nb as fresh string

Sourceval sub_bytes : t -> int -> int -> Bytes.t

Same for bytes

Extraction with blit

Sourceval blit_to_bytes : t -> int -> Bytes.t -> int -> int -> unit

blit_to_bytes nb srcpos dest destpos len: Copies the len bytes at * position srcpos from nb to the string dest at position destpos.

Sourceval blit_to_string : t -> int -> Bytes.t -> int -> int -> unit

deprecated
arg

Sourceval blit : t -> int -> Bytes.t -> int -> int -> unit

Compatibility name for blit_to_bytes

Sourceval blit_to_memory : t -> int -> Netsys_mem.memory -> int -> int -> unit

blit_to_memory nb srcpos dest destpos len: Copies the len bytes at * position srcpos from nb to the membuffer dest at position destpos.

Sourceval blit_to_tbuffer : t -> int -> Netsys_types.tbuffer -> int -> int -> unit

Blits to a tagged buffer

Appending strings

Sourceval add_string : t -> string -> unit

add_string nb s: Adds a copy of the string s to the logical end of * the netbuffer nb. If necessary, nb grows.

Sourceval add_bytes : t -> Bytes.t -> unit

Same for bytes

Sourceval add_tstring : t -> Netsys_types.tstring -> unit

Same for tagged string

Sourceval add_tstring_poly : t -> 's Netstring_tstring.tstring_ops -> 's -> unit

Polymorphic version

Sourceval add_substring : t -> string -> int -> int -> unit

add_substring nb s k n: Adds the substring of s starting at position * k with length n to the logical end of the netbuffer nb. If necessary, * nb grows. * * This is semantically the same as * add_string nb (String.sub s k n), but the extra copy is avoided.

Sourceval add_subbytes : t -> Bytes.t -> int -> int -> unit

Same for bytes

Sourceval add_subtstring : t -> Netsys_types.tstring -> int -> int -> unit

Same for tagged string

Sourceval add_sub_string : t -> string -> int -> int -> unit

deprecated
arg

Sourceval add_submemory : t -> Netsys_mem.memory -> int -> int -> unit

Same as add_substring, but gets data from a memory buffer

Sourceval add_sub_memory : t -> Netsys_mem.memory -> int -> int -> unit

deprecated
arg

Source

val add_subtstring_poly : 
  t ->
  's Netstring_tstring.tstring_ops ->
  's ->
  int ->
  int ->
  unit

Polymorphic version

Sourceval add_char : t -> char -> unit

add_char nb c: Adds a single char at the end of the buffer

Sourceval add_char_2 : t -> char -> char -> unit

add_char_2 nb c1 c2: Adds two chars at the end of the buffer

Sourceval add_char_4 : t -> char -> char -> char -> char -> unit

add_char_4 nb c1 c2 c3 c4: Adds four chars at the end of the buffer

Sourceval add_inplace : ?len:int -> t -> (Bytes.t -> int -> int -> int) -> int

add_inplace nb f: Calls the function f to add bytes to the * netbuffer nb. The arguments of f are the buffer, the position * in the buffer, and the maximum length. The function f must return * the actual number of added bytes; this number is also returned by * add_inplace. * * Example: let n = add_inplace nb (Pervasives.input ch) * * The argument len is the number of bytes to add (second argument of * f). It defaults to the number of free bytes in the buffer after space * for at least one byte has been allocated.

Sourceval add_buffer : t -> t -> unit

add_buffer nb1 nb2: Adds the contents of nb2 to the end of nb1

Sourceval area_for_additions : ?len:int -> t -> Bytes.t * int * int

Sourceval advance : t -> int -> unit

These two functions work together, so that the effect of add_inplace can be obtained in two steps. First, the user calls

  let (s,pos,len) = area_for_additions nb

to get the area where to put new data of length n, with n <= len. After this the data is made valid by

  advance n

Inserting strings

Sourceval insert_string : t -> int -> string -> unit

insert_string nb p s: Inserts the value of string s at position * p into the netbuffer nb

Sourceval insert_substring : t -> int -> string -> int -> int -> unit

insert_string nb p s k n: Inserts a substring of string s at position * p into the netbuffer nb. The substring is denoted by position k * and has length n

Sourceval insert_sub_string : t -> int -> string -> int -> int -> unit

deprecated
arg

Sourceval insert_subbytes : t -> int -> Bytes.t -> int -> int -> unit

Same for bytes

Sourceval insert_subtstring : t -> int -> Netsys_types.tstring -> int -> int -> unit

Same for tagged string

Sourceval insert_submemory : t -> int -> Netsys_types.memory -> int -> int -> unit

Same for memory

Sourceval insert_char : t -> int -> char -> unit

insert_char nb p c: Inserts character c at position p into * the netbuffer nb

Overwriting strings

Sourceval set : t -> int -> char -> unit

set nb pos c: Sets the character at pos to c

Sourceval put_string : t -> int -> string -> unit

put_string nb pos s: Copies the string s to the position pos of netbuffer nb

Sourceval blit_from_string : string -> int -> t -> int -> int -> unit

blit_from_string src srcpos dest destpos len: Copies the len bytes * at position srcpos from the string src to the netbuffer dest at * position destpos. * * It is possible to copy the string beyond the end of the buffer. The * buffer is automatically enlarged in this case.

Sourceval blit_from_bytes : Bytes.t -> int -> t -> int -> int -> unit

Same for bytes

Sourceval blit_from_memory : Netsys_types.memory -> int -> t -> int -> int -> unit

Same for memory

Sourceval blit_from_tstring : Netsys_types.tstring -> int -> t -> int -> int -> unit

Same for tagged string

Deleting

Sourceval delete : t -> int -> int -> unit

delete nb k n: Deletes the n bytes at position k of netbuffer * nb in-place. * * The netbuffer does not shrink, however, i.e. the free space is not * given back to the memory manager.

Sourceval clear : t -> unit

Deletes all contents from the buffer. As delete, the netbuffer does * not shrink.

Sourceval reset : t -> unit

Empty the buffer, deallocate the internal string, and replace it with a new string of length n that was allocated by Netbuffer.create n.

Sourceval try_shrinking : t -> unit

try_shrinking nb: If the length of the buffer is less than half of * the allocated space, the netbuffer is reallocated in order to save * memory.

Searching

Sourceval index_from : t -> int -> char -> int

index_from nb k c: Searches the character c in the netbuffer beginning * at position k. If found, the position of the left-most occurence is * returned. Otherwise, Not_found is raised.

Miscelleneous

Sourceval unsafe_buffer : t -> Bytes.t

Warning! This is a low-level function! * Returns the current string that internally holds the buffer. * The byte positions 0 to length - 1 actually store the contents of * the buffer. You can directly read and modify the buffer. Note that * there is no protection if you read or write positions beyond the * length of the buffer.

Sourceval print_buffer : t -> unit
