Detailed Description
A stream to read and write from in-memory data.
gate_stream_t::write() appends data to the internal memory buffer at the end gate_stream_t::read() extracts data from the internal memory buffer from the beginning gate_memstream_t is a FIFO buffer. Data appended by write() are retrieved with read()
Member Function Documentation
◆ get_data()
| char const * get_data | ( | ) |
Returns a pointer to the begin of the readable memory block.
- Returns
- Pointer to current data in internal buffer
◆ size()
| gate_size_t size | ( | ) |
Returns the total size of readable bytes.
- Returns
- Amount of bytes currently in accessible read buffer
◆ reserve()
| gate_result_t reserve | ( | gate_size_t | space | ) |
Ensures that the given amount of space is preallocated at the end of the internal buffer.
- Parameters
-
[in] space Amount of bytes to be reserved (preallocated) of writing
- Returns
- GATE_RESULT_* result code
◆ fill()
| gate_result_t fill | ( | char | fillitem, |
| gate_size_t | fillsize ) |
Adds a field of characters at the write-end of the internal buffer.
- Parameters
-
[in] fillitem Character to be used repeated to fill the buffer [in] fillsize Amount of characters to fill the write buffer at the end
- Returns
- GATE_RESULT_* result code
◆ discard()
| gate_size_t discard | ( | gate_size_t | bytestodiscard | ) |
Removes the given amount of bytes from the read buffer at the beginning.
- Parameters
-
[in] bytestodiscard Amount of bytes to discard
- Returns
- real amount of bytes that were discarded
◆ discard_back()
| gate_size_t discard_back | ( | gate_size_t | bytestodiscard | ) |
Removes the given amount of bytes at the end of the internal buffer (removes previously written bytes)
- Parameters
-
[in] bytestodiscard Amount of bytes to discard
- Returns
- real amount of bytes that were discarded
◆ reset()
| gate_result_t reset | ( | ) |
Clears the readable area from the stream, discards all bytes.
- Returns
- GATE_RESULT_* result code
