Each has methods that help improve +the encoding/decoding performance of some binary +protocols. + +The `fwd.Writer` and `fwd.Reader` type provide similar +functionality to their counterparts in `bufio`, plus +a few extra utility methods that simplify read-ahead +and write-ahead. I wrote this package to improve serialization +performance for <a href="http://github.com/tinylib/msgp">http://github.com/tinylib/msgp</a>, +where it provided about a 2x speedup over `bufio` for certain +workloads. However, care must be taken to understand the semantics of the +extra methods provided by this package, as they allow +the user to access and manipulate the buffer memory +directly. + +The extra methods for `fwd.Reader` are `Peek`, `Skip` +and `Next`. `(*fwd.Reader).Peek`, unlike `(*bufio.Reader).Peek`, +will re-allocate the read buffer in order to accommodate arbitrarily +large read-ahead. `(*fwd.Reader).Skip` skips the next `n` bytes +in the stream, and uses the `io.Seeker` interface if the underlying +stream implements it. `(*fwd.Reader).Next` returns a slice pointing +to the next `n` bytes in the read buffer (like `Peek`), but also +increments the read position. This allows users to process streams +in arbitrary block sizes without having to manage appropriately-sized +slices. Additionally, obviating the need to copy the data from the +buffer to another location in memory can improve performance dramatically +in CPU-bound applications. + +`fwd.Writer` only has one extra method, which is `(*fwd.Writer).Next`, which +returns a slice pointing to the next `n` bytes of the writer, and increments +the write position by the length of the returned slice. This allows users +to write directly to the end of the buffer. + + + + +## Constants +``` go +const ( + // DefaultReaderSize is the default size of the read buffer + DefaultReaderSize = 2048 +) +``` +``` go +const ( + // DefaultWriterSize is the + // default write buffer size. + DefaultWriterSize = 2048 +) +``` + + + +## type Reader +``` go +type Reader struct { + // contains filtered or unexported fields +} +``` +Reader is a buffered look-ahead reader + + + + + + + + + +### func NewReader +``` go +func NewReader(r io.Reader) *Reader +``` +NewReader returns a new *Reader that reads from 'r' + + +### func NewReaderSize +``` go +func NewReaderSize(r io.Reader, n int) *Reader +``` +NewReaderSize returns a new *Reader that +reads from 'r' and has a buffer size 'n' + + + + +### func (\*Reader) BufferSize +``` go +func (r *Reader) BufferSize() int +``` +BufferSize returns the total size of the buffer + + + +### func (\*Reader) Buffered +``` go +func (r *Reader) Buffered() int +``` +Buffered returns the number of bytes currently in the buffer + + + +### func (\*Reader) Next +``` go +func (r *Reader) Next(n int) ([]byte, error) +``` +Next returns the next 'n' bytes in the stream. +Unlike Peek, Next advances the reader position. +The returned bytes point to the same +data as the buffer, so the slice is +only valid until the next reader method call. +An EOF is considered an unexpected error. +If an the returned slice is less than the +length asked for, an error will be returned, +and the reader position will not be incremented. + + + +### func (\*Reader) Peek +``` go +func (r *Reader) Peek(n int) ([]byte, error) +``` +Peek returns the next 'n' buffered bytes, +reading from the underlying reader if necessary. +It will only return a slice shorter than 'n' bytes +if it also returns an error. Peek does not advance +the reader.

It is analogous to Seek(n, 1). +If the underlying reader implements io.Seeker, then +that method will be used to skip forward. + +If the reader encounters +an EOF before skipping 'n' bytes, it +returns io.ErrUnexpectedEOF. If the +underlying reader implements io.Seeker, then +those rules apply instead.
