Input

haxe.io.Input (Class) → BytesInput, sys.io.FileInput, sys.io._Process.Stdout

An Input is an abstract reader. See other classes in the haxe.io package for several possible implementations.

All functions which read data throw Eof when the end of the stream is reached.

Instance Members

bigEndian: Bool

Endianness (word byte order) used when reading numbers.

If true, big-endian is used, otherwise little-endian is used.

readByte(): Int

Read and return one byte.

Returns
Int

readBytes(s: Bytes, pos: Int, len: Int): Int

Read len bytes and write them into s to the position specified by pos.

Returns the actual length of read data that can be smaller than len.

See readFullBytes that tries to read the exact amount of specified bytes.

Returns
Int

close(): Void

Close the input source.

Behaviour while reading after calling this method is unspecified.

readAll(?bufsize: Int): Bytes

Read and return all available data.

The bufsize optional argument specifies the size of chunks by which data is read. Its default value is target-specific.

Name	Type	Default
`bufsize`	Int	(optional)

Returns
Bytes

readFullBytes(s: Bytes, pos: Int, len: Int): Void

Read len bytes and write them into s to the position specified by pos.

Unlike readBytes, this method tries to read the exact len amount of bytes.

read(nbytes: Int): Bytes

Read and return nbytes bytes.

Name	Type
`nbytes`	Int

Returns
Bytes

readUntil(end: Int): String

Read a string until a character code specified by end is occurred.

The final character is not included in the resulting string.

Name	Type
`end`	Int

Returns
String

readFloat(): Float

Read a 32-bit floating point number.
