Module `Iobuf.Expert`

The Expert module is for building efficient out-of-module Iobuf abstractions.

val buf : (_, _) t -> Core_kernel.Bigstring.t

These accessors will not allocate, and are mainly here to assist in building low-cost syscall wrappers.

One must be careful to avoid writing out of the limits (between lo_min and hi_max) of the buf. Doing so would violate the invariants of the parent Iobuf.

val hi_max : (_, _) t -> int

val hi : (_, _) t -> int

val lo : (_, _) t -> int

val lo_min : (_, _) t -> int

val set_buf : (_, _) t -> Core_kernel.Bigstring.t -> unit

These setters directly set fields in t without checking any invariants.

val set_hi_max : (_, _) t -> int -> unit

val set_hi : (_, _) t -> int -> unit

val set_lo : (_, _) t -> int -> unit

val set_lo_min : (_, _) t -> int -> unit

val to_bigstring_shared : 
  ?pos:int ->
  ?len:int ->
  (_, _) t ->
  Core_kernel.Bigstring.t

to_bigstring_shared t and to_iobuf_shared t allocate new wrappers around the storage of buf t, relative to t's current bounds.

These operations allow access outside the bounds and limits of t, and without respect to its read/write access. Be careful not to violate t's invariants.

val reinitialize_of_bigstring : 
  (_, _) t ->
  pos:int ->
  len:int ->
  Core_kernel.Bigstring.t ->
  unit

reinitialize_of_bigstring t bigstring reinitializes t with backing bigstring, and the window and limits specified starting at pos and of length len.

val set_bounds_and_buffer : src:('data, _) t -> dst:('data, seek) t -> unit

These versions of set_bounds_and_buffer allow ~src to be read-only. ~dst will be writable through ~src aliases even though the type does not reflect this!

val set_bounds_and_buffer_sub : 
  pos:int ->
  len:int ->
  src:('data, _) t ->
  dst:('data, seek) t ->
  unit

val protect_window : ('rw, _) t -> f:(('rw, seek) t -> 'a) -> 'a

Similar to protect_window_and_bounds, but does not save/restore the buffer or bounds. Mixing this with functions like set_bounds_and_buffer or narrow is unsafe; you should not modify anyything but the window inside f.
