Methods

impl nsIArrayBufferInputStream
[src]

[src]

Cast this nsIArrayBufferInputStream to one of its base interfaces.

Methods from Deref<Target = nsIInputStream>

[src]

Cast this nsIInputStream to one of its base interfaces.

[src]

/**
 * nsIInputStream
 *
 * An interface describing a readable stream of data.  An input stream may be
 * "blocking" or "non-blocking" (see the IsNonBlocking method).  A blocking
 * input stream may suspend the calling thread in order to satisfy a call to
 * Close, Available, Read, or ReadSegments.  A non-blocking input stream, on
 * the other hand, must not block the calling thread of execution.
 *
 * NOTE: blocking input streams are often read on a background thread to avoid
 * locking up the main application thread.  For this reason, it is generally
 * the case that a blocking input stream should be implemented using thread-
 * safe AddRef and Release.
 */
/**
     * Close the stream.  This method causes subsequent calls to Read and
     * ReadSegments to return 0 bytes read to indicate end-of-file.  Any
     * subsequent calls to Available should throw NS_BASE_STREAM_CLOSED.
     */

void close ();

[src]

/**
     * Determine number of bytes available in the stream.  A non-blocking
     * stream that does not yet have any data to read should return 0 bytes
     * from this method (i.e., it must not throw the NS_BASE_STREAM_WOULD_BLOCK
     * exception).
     *
     * In addition to the number of bytes available in the stream, this method
     * also informs the caller of the current status of the stream.  A stream
     * that is closed will throw an exception when this method is called.  That
     * enables the caller to know the condition of the stream before attempting
     * to read from it.  If a stream is at end-of-file, but not closed, then
     * this method returns 0 bytes available.  (Note: some nsIInputStream
     * implementations automatically close when eof is reached; some do not).
     *
     * @return number of bytes currently available in the stream.
     *
     * @throws NS_BASE_STREAM_CLOSED if the stream is closed normally.
     * @throws <other-error> if the stream is closed due to some error
     *   condition
