class MemoryTextStream in Tinman.Core.IO.Streams

An implementation of the ITextStream that uses a growing memory buffer.

sealed class MemoryTextStream extends TextStreamBase

Public / Attributes

CanRead

Does this object support read access?

public override property CanRead { get }
type bool
value true if this object supports reading, false if not.
implements TextStreamBase.CanRead

CanWrite

Does this binary object support write access?

public override property CanWrite { get }
type bool
value true if this object supports writing, false if not.
implements TextStreamBase.CanWrite

LifecycleState

Returns the lifecycle state of this object.

public virtual property LifecycleState { get }
type LifecycleState
value The lifecycle state.
inherited Disposable.LifecycleState

PathInfo

Returns a Path object that represents the file path this object is associated with.

public override property PathInfo { get }
type Path
value [not-null] The path info.
implements TextStreamBase.PathInfo

Remarks:

Objects that do not have a meaningful file path association simply return Unknown.

Public / Constructors

MemoryTextStream

Creates a new instance of MemoryTextStream.

public constructor MemoryTextStream (int64 initialCapacity = 1024)
params initialCapacity [>=0] The initial buffer size, in characters. Defaults to 1024.

Remarks:

The stream will be in write mode.

Flip

Public / Methods

AcquireTry

Acquires a strong reference to this disposable object.

[OwnerReturn, ThreadSafe]
public method AcquireTry ()
type IDisposable
returns this if a new strong reference has been acquired, null if this object is already being disposed.
inherited Disposable.AcquireTry

Remarks:

The object will not be actually disposed by calls to Dispose when there is at least one strong reference left. Code that calls the AcquireTry method is responsible for calling the Dispose method accordingly.

This method is not intended to be used in performance-critical code. It should only be used to high-level resource management.

CopyFrom

Copies all remaining data in the given object to this object.

public virtual method CopyFrom (ITextStream stream)
params stream [not-null] The object.
inherited TextStreamBase.CopyFrom

CopyTo

Copies all remaining data in this object to the given object.

public virtual method CopyTo (ITextStream stream)
params stream [not-null] The object.
inherited TextStreamBase.CopyTo

Dispose

Releases all resources held by this object if there are no more strong references to it, decrements the reference counter by one otherwise.

[Dispose, OwnerThis, ThreadSafe]
public method Dispose ()
inherited Disposable.Dispose

Remarks:

The Dispose method silently returns if the object has already been disposed.

Flip

Flips this memory stream so that it reads back the data that has been written to it.

public method Flip ()
type MemoryTextStream
returns [not-null] this

Remarks:

When calling this method, the stream must be in write mode. After returning, the stream will be in read mode.

ToString

Flush

Flushes all cached data.

public override method Flush ()
implements TextStreamBase.Flush

Remarks:

Performing a flush may result in I/O work. Depending on the semantics of the implementing class, this work may need to be wrapped in special Begin / End method calls. See the documentation of the implementing classes for details.

In case this object represents a read-only resource, calling the Flush method has no effect.

For

Creates a new instance of MemoryTextStream that reads the given text.

[OwnerReturn]
public static method For (string chars)
type MemoryTextStream
params chars [not-null] The text to read.
returns [not-null] The created text stream.

Remarks:

The stream will be in read mode.


Creates a new instance of MemoryTextStream that reads the given text.

[OwnerReturn]
public static method For (char[] chars)
type MemoryTextStream
params chars [not-null] The text to read.
returns [not-null] The created text stream.

Remarks:

The stream will be in read mode.


Creates a new instance of MemoryTextStream that reads the given text.

[OwnerReturn]
public static method For (string chars, int32 offset, int32 count)
type MemoryTextStream
params chars [not-null] The text to read.
  offset [>=0] Offset into chars to first character to read.
  count [>=0] Total number of characters to read.
returns [not-null] The created text stream.

Remarks:

The stream will be in read mode.


Creates a new instance of MemoryTextStream that reads the given text.

[OwnerReturn]
public static method For (char[] chars, int32 offset, int32 count)
type MemoryTextStream
params chars [not-null] The text to read.
  offset [>=0] Offset into chars to first character to read.
  count [>=0] Total number of characters to read.
returns [not-null] The created text stream.

Remarks:

The stream will be in read mode.

Read

Reads a number of characters from the stream.

public method Read (char[] chars, int32 offset = 0, int32 count = -1)
type int32
params chars [not-null] The buffer where the read characters will be stored.
  offset [0..chars.Length] Offset into chars. Defaults to 0.
  count [-1..chars.Length-offset] Number of characters to read. If -1, characters will be read up to the end of chars. Defaults to -1.
returns [>=0] The number of characters that have been read into chars. A value of 0 indicates that the end of the stream has been reached (assuming that the given count was greater than zero).
inherited TextStreamBase.Read

Remarks:

The number of characters that are read from the stream may be less than the given count, for any reason.

Exceptions:

ReadChar

Reads a single character from the stream.

public virtual method ReadChar ()
type char
returns The read character.
inherited TextStreamBase.ReadChar

Exceptions:

[OwnerThis]
public override method ReadToEnd ()
type string
returns [not-null] The read string.
