1.0.0[−][src]Struct std::io::Cursor
A Cursor wraps an in-memory buffer and provides it with a
Seek implementation.
Cursors are used with in-memory buffers, anything implementing
AsRef<[u8]>, to allow them to implement Read and/or Write,
allowing these buffers to be used anywhere you might use a reader or writer
that does actual I/O.
The standard library implements some I/O traits on various types which
are commonly used as a buffer, like Cursor<Vec<u8>> and
Cursor<&[u8]>.
Examples
We may want to write bytes to a File in our production
code, but use an in-memory buffer in our tests. We can do this with
Cursor:
use std::io::prelude::*; use std::io::{self, SeekFrom}; use std::fs::File; // a library function we've written fn write_ten_bytes_at_end<W: Write + Seek>(writer: &mut W) -> io::Result<()> { writer.seek(SeekFrom::End(-10))?; for i in 0..10 { writer.write(&[i])?; } // all went well Ok(()) } // Here's some code that uses this library function. // // We might want to use a BufReader here for efficiency, but let's // keep this example focused. let mut file = File::create("foo.txt")?; write_ten_bytes_at_end(&mut file)?; // now let's write a test #[test] fn test_writes_bytes() { // setting up a real File is much slower than an in-memory buffer, // let's use a cursor instead use std::io::Cursor; let mut buff = Cursor::new(vec![0; 15]); write_ten_bytes_at_end(&mut buff).unwrap(); assert_eq!(&buff.get_ref()[5..15], &[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]); }Run
Methods
impl<T> Cursor<T>[src]
ⓘImportant traits for Cursor<T>pub fn new(inner: T) -> Cursor<T>[src]
Creates a new cursor wrapping the provided underlying in-memory buffer.
Cursor initial position is 0 even if underlying buffer (e.g., Vec)
is not empty. So writing to cursor starts with overwriting Vec
content, not with appending to it.
Examples
use std::io::Cursor; let buff = Cursor::new(Vec::new());Run
pub fn into_inner(self) -> T[src]
Consumes this cursor, returning the underlying value.
Examples
use std::io::Cursor; let buff = Cursor::new(Vec::new()); let vec = buff.into_inner();Run
ⓘImportant traits for &'_ mut Ipub fn get_ref(&self) -> &T[src]
Gets a reference to the underlying value in this cursor.
Examples
use std::io::Cursor; let buff = Cursor::new(Vec::new()); let reference = buff.get_ref();Run
ⓘImportant traits for &'_ mut Ipub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T[src]
Gets a mutable reference to the underlying value in this cursor.
Care should be taken to avoid modifying the internal I/O state of the underlying value as it may corrupt this cursor's position.
Examples
use std::io::Cursor; let mut buff = Cursor::new(Vec::new()); let reference = buff.get_mut();Run
pub fn position(&self) -> u64[src]
Returns the current position of this cursor.
Examples
use std::io::Cursor; use std::io::prelude::*; use std::io::SeekFrom; let mut buff = Cursor::new(vec![1, 2, 3, 4, 5]); assert_eq!(buff.position(), 0); buff.seek(SeekFrom::Current(2)).unwrap(); assert_eq!(buff.position(), 2); buff.seek(SeekFrom::Current(-1)).unwrap(); assert_eq!(buff.position(), 1);Run
pub fn set_position(&mut self, pos: u64)[src]
