BufferedStream class

Adds buffering to another stream.

For performance reasons it is recommended to use the type directly instead of casting it to the generic Stream class as this class statically replaces the primitive reading/writing functions.

Inherits from Stream.

Initialization

static function create(parent: Stream): BufferedStream

Creates a new buffered stream.

Utility functions

function read_line(buf: Byte[]): Byte[]
function read_line(buf: Byte[], max_bytes: Integer): Byte[]


Reads a line delimited by LF or CRLF. The provided buffer is cleared before reading and the newline characters are not included. You can optionally limit the maximum length of the line (pass negative value to remove the limit). Returns the buffer or null when the end of the stream is reached.

function read_null_string(): Byte[]
function read_null_string(str: Byte[]): Byte[]
function read_null_string(str: Byte[], max_bytes: Integer): Byte[]


Reads null terminated byte string. Optionally it can append it into the provided string. You can also optionally limit the maximum length of the string (pass negative value to remove the limit).
