Stream types
data InputStream a Source #
An InputStream generates values of type c in the IO monad.
Two primitive operations are defined on InputStream:
read::InputStreamc ->IO(Maybec)readreturningNothing.unRead:: c ->InputStreamc ->IO()
It is intended that InputStreams obey the following law:
unReadc stream >>readstream ===return(Justc)
Instances
data OutputStream a Source #
An OutputStream consumes values of type c in the IO monad.
The only primitive operation defined on OutputStream is:
write::Maybec ->OutputStreamc ->IO()
Values of type c are written in an OutputStream by wrapping them in
Just, and the end of the stream is indicated by supplying Nothing.
If you supply a value after a Nothing, the behavior is defined by the
implementer of the given OutputStream. (All OutputStream definitions in
this library will simply discard the extra input.)
Instances
Creating streams
makeInputStream :: IO (Maybe a) -> IO (InputStream a) Source #
Creates an InputStream from a value-producing action.
(makeInputStream m) calls the action m each time you request a value
from the InputStream. The given action is extended with the default
pushback mechanism (see System.IO.Streams.Internal).
makeOutputStream :: (Maybe a -> IO ()) -> IO (OutputStream a) Source #
Creates an OutputStream from a value-consuming action.
(makeOutputStream f) runs the computation f on each value fed to it.
Since version 1.2.0.0, makeOutputStream also ensures that output streams
no longer receive data once EOF is received (i.e. you can now assume that
makeOutputStream will feed your function Nothing at most once.)
Primitive stream operations
read :: InputStream a -> IO (Maybe a) Source #
Reads one value from an InputStream.
Returns either a value wrapped in a Just, or Nothing if the end of the
stream is reached.
unRead :: a -> InputStream a -> IO () Source #
Pushes a value back onto an input stream. read and unRead should
satisfy the following law, with the possible exception of side effects:
Streams.unReadc stream >> Streams.readstream ===return(Justc)
Note that this could be used to add values back to the stream that were not originally drawn from the stream.
peek :: InputStream a -> IO (Maybe a) Source #
Observes the first value from an InputStream without consuming it.
Returns Nothing if the InputStream is empty. peek satisfies the
following law:
Streams.peekstream >> Streams.readstream === Streams.readstream
write :: Maybe a -> OutputStream a -> IO () Source #
Feeds a value to an OutputStream. Values of type c are written in an
OutputStream by wrapping them in Just, and the end of the stream is
indicated by supplying Nothing.
atEOF :: InputStream a -> IO Bool Source #
Checks if an InputStream is at end-of-stream.
Connecting streams together
connect :: InputStream a -> OutputStream a -> IO () Source #
Connects an InputStream and OutputStream, supplying values from the
InputStream to the OutputStream, and propagating the end-of-stream
message from the InputStream through to the OutputStream.
The connection ends when the InputStream yields a Nothing.
connectTo :: OutputStream a -> InputStream a -> IO () Source #
supply :: InputStream a -> OutputStream a -> IO () Source #
Connects an InputStream to an OutputStream without passing the
end-of-stream notification through to the OutputStream.
Use this to supply an OutputStream with multiple InputStreams and use
connect for the final InputStream to finalize the OutputStream, like
so:
do Streams.supplyinput1 output Streams.supplyinput2 output Streams.connectinput3 output
supplyTo :: OutputStream a -> InputStream a -> IO () Source #
supply with the arguments flipped.
appendInputStream :: InputStream a -> InputStream a -> IO (InputStream a) Source #
appendInputStream concatenates two InputStreams, analogous to (++)
for lists.
The second InputStream continues where the first InputStream ends.
Note: values pushed back to appendInputStream are not propagated to either
wrapped InputStream.
concatInputStreams :: [InputStream a] -> IO (InputStream a) Source #
concatInputStreams concatenates a list of InputStreams, analogous to
(++) for lists.
Subsequent InputStreams continue where the previous one InputStream
ends.
Note: values pushed back to the InputStream returned by
concatInputStreams are not propagated to any of the source
InputStreams.
Thread safety / concurrency
lockingInputStream :: InputStream a -> IO (InputStream a) Source #
Converts an InputStream into a thread-safe InputStream, at a slight
performance penalty.
For performance reasons, this library provides non-thread-safe streams by
default. Use the locking functions to convert these streams into slightly
slower, but thread-safe, equivalents.
lockingOutputStream :: OutputStream a -> IO (OutputStream a) Source #
Converts an OutputStream into a thread-safe OutputStream, at a slight
performance penalty.
For performance reasons, this library provides non-thread-safe streams by
default. Use the locking functions to convert these streams into slightly
slower, but thread-safe, equivalents.
Utility streams
nullInput :: IO (InputStream a) Source #
An empty InputStream that yields Nothing immediately.
nullOutput :: IO (OutputStream a) Source #
An empty OutputStream that discards any input fed to it.
Generator monad
A Generator is a coroutine monad that can be used to define complex
InputStreams. You can cause a value of type Just r to appear when the
InputStream is read by calling yield:
g ::GeneratorInt () g = do Streams.yield1 Streams.yield2 Streams.yield3
A Generator can be turned into an InputStream by calling
fromGenerator:
m ::IO[Int] m = Streams.fromGeneratorg >>= Streams.toList-- value returned is [1,2,3]
You can perform IO by calling liftIO, and turn a Generator into an
InputStream with fromGenerator.
As a general rule, you should not acquire resources that need to be freed
from a Generator, because there is no guarantee the coroutine continuation
will ever be called, nor can you catch an exception from within a
Generator.
fromGenerator :: Generator r a -> IO (InputStream r) Source #
Turns a Generator into an InputStream.
yield :: r -> Generator r () Source #
Calling yield xJust xInputStream. The rest of the
computation after the call to yield is resumed later when the
InputStream is read again.
