val create : read:('a -> buf:Bytes.t -> pos:int -> len:int -> int) -> compression:Capnp.Codecs.compression_t -> 'a -> 'a t

create ~read ~compression descr creates a new context for reading data from the specified descriptor using the specified compression method.

The semantics of the read function shall mimic that of Unix.read, attempting to read into a substring of the buf and returning the number of bytes actually read. A read of length 0 indicates end-of-file.

val dequeue_message : 'a t -> Capnp.Message.rw Capnp.Message.BytesMessage.Message.t option

dequeue_message context attempts to remove a complete message from the incoming queue of the read context. No data will be read from the underlying descriptor.

  • returns

    None if there is insufficient data stored in the read context to decode a complete message

  • raises Unsupported_message_frame

    if the frame header describes a segment count or segment size that is too large for the implementation

val bytes_available : 'a t -> int

bytes_available context obtains the number of bytes already read which are currently stored in the read context.

val read : 'a t -> int

read context attempts to read some data from the underlying descriptor, storing it in the read context.

  • returns

    the number of bytes actually read

read_message context attempts to remove a complete message from the incoming queue of the read context. read may be invoked repeatedly to provide enough buffered data to decode a complete message.

  • returns

    None if end-of-file was reached before a complete message could be read

  • raises Unsupported_message_frame

    if the frame header describes a segment count or segment size that is too large for the implementation
