Class type Netstream.in_obj_stream

class type in_obj_stream = object .. end

An in_obj_stream extends in_obj_channel by look-ahead methods

Inherits
method block_size : int

The block size of the stream

method window : Netbuffer.t

The look-ahead window. The first byte of the window is the byte that would be read next by input_char. The length of the window is returned by the method window_length. This length may be smaller than the current length of the netbuffer, i.e. the netbuffer may contain additional data that must be ignored.

method want : int -> unit

Increases the length of the window such that the length is at least the passed number of bytes or that the window reaches EOF (whatever happens first).

method want_another_block : unit -> unit

The same as: want block_size

method window_length : int

Returns the length of the window

method window_at_eof : bool

Whether the window is at eof

method skip : int -> unit

Skip the n bytes of the stream. It is not an error to skip more bytes than available in the remaining stream.
