Byte buffer.

A dynamic vector of bytes that doesn't hide its internal from you. Same use case as Buffer.t but with more power.

  • since 3.7
type t = {
  1. mutable bs : bytes;
    (*

    The backing bytes buffer

    *)
  2. mutable len : int;
    (*

    Length of the "active" slice in bs. The actual content of the buffer is bs[0]..bs[len-1]. What comes after is undefined garbage.

    *)
}

The byte buffer. The definition is public since 3.13.1 .

type 'a iter = ('a -> unit) -> unit
val create : ?cap:int -> unit -> t

Create a new buffer with given initial capacity.

val length : t -> int

Current length.

val is_empty : t -> bool

is_empty b is length b=0

val capacity : t -> int

Current capacity (size of the array returned by bytes)

val bytes : t -> bytes

Access the underlying byte buffer. This buffer can change after operations that affect the capacity (e.g. add_char).

val clear : t -> unit

clear buf sets buf.len <- 0. This doesn't resize the byte buffer.

val ensure_cap : t -> int -> unit

ensure_cap self n ensures that capacity self >= n.

  • raises Invalid_argument

    if this requires the buffer to grow beyond system limits.

val ensure_free : t -> int -> unit

ensure_free buf n ensures that the free space at the end of the buffer is at least n.

  • raises Invalid_argument

    if this requires the buffer to grow beyond system limits.

val shrink_to : t -> int -> unit

shrink_to buf n reduces length buf to at most n. Does nothing if the length is already <= n.

val add_char : t -> char -> unit

Push a character at the end.

  • raises Invalid_argument

    if this requires the buffer to grow beyond system limits.

val append_bytes : t -> bytes -> unit

Add bytes at the end

val append_subbytes : t -> bytes -> int -> int -> unit

Add byte slice at the end

val append_string : t -> string -> unit

Add string at the end

val append_substring : t -> string -> int -> int -> unit

Add substring at the end

val append_buf : t -> Buffer.t -> unit

Add content of the buffer at the end

val append_iter : t -> char iter -> unit

Adds characters from the iter

val append_seq : t -> char Seq.t -> unit

Adds characters from the seq

val get : t -> int -> char

Get the char at the given offset

val unsafe_get : t -> int -> char

Get the char at the given offset, unsafe (no bound check)

val set : t -> int -> char -> unit

Set the char at the given offset

val unsafe_set : t -> int -> char -> unit

Set the char at the given offset, unsafe (no bound check)

val to_slice : t -> CCByte_slice.t

to_slice buf returns a slice of the current content. The slice shares the same byte array as buf (until buf is resized).

  • since 3.13.1
val contents : t -> string

Copy the internal data to a string. Allocates.

val contents_bytes : t -> bytes

Copy the internal data to a bytes. Allocates.

val iter : (char -> unit) -> t -> unit

Iterate on the content

val iteri : (int -> char -> unit) -> t -> unit

Iterate with index.

  • since 3.13.1
val fold_left : ('a -> char -> 'a) -> 'a -> t -> 'a
val of_iter : char iter -> t
val of_seq : char Seq.t -> t
val to_iter : t -> char iter
val to_seq : t -> char Seq.t
