A parser for lines

This module provides building blocks for a line parser, especially a step function, that given the state of the parser and a chunk of bytes returns a list of lines and a new state. This API is meant to be usable from various contexts, including async or lwt.

type state

Parser state

val initial_state : state

The initial state to be fed to the step function.

val line_number : state -> Base.int

Number of lines seen so far. We have line_number initial_state = 0, and line_number (fst (step _ (Some _))) > 0

val step : state -> Base.string Base.option -> state * Line.t Base.list

step st i parses an input. If i = None, the caller indicates that there is no more input; in that case the returned state is terminal: all inputs read from this state will be ignored.
