(** High-order abstract I/O.

  IO module simply deals with abstract inputs/outputs. It provides a
  set of methods for working with these IO as well as several
  constructors that enable to write to an underlying channel, buffer,
  or enum.
*)

(* open ExtBytes *)

type input
(** The abstract input type. *)

type 'a output
(** The abstract output type, ['a] is the accumulator data, it is returned
  when the [close_out] function is called. *)

exception No_more_input
(** This exception is raised when reading on an input with the [read] or
  [nread] functions while there is no available token to read. *)

exception Input_closed
(** This exception is raised when reading on a closed input. *)

exception Output_closed
(** This exception is raised when reading on a closed output. *)

(** {6 Standard API} *)

val read : input -> char
(** Read a single char from an input or raise [No_more_input] if
  no input available. *)

val nread : input -> int -> Bytes.t
(** [nread i n] reads a byte sequence of size up to [n] from an input.
  The function will raise [No_more_input] if no input is available.
  It will raise [Invalid_argument] if [n] < 0. *)

val really_nread : input -> int -> Bytes.t
(** [really_nread i n] reads a byte sequence of exactly [n] characters
  from the input. Raises [No_more_input] if at least [n] characters are
  not available. Raises [Invalid_argument] if [n] < 0. *)

val nread_string : input -> int -> string
(** as [nread], but reads a string. *)

val really_nread_string : input -> int -> string
(** as [really_nread], but reads a string. *)

val input : input -> Bytes.t -> int -> int -> int
(** [input i b p l] reads up to [l] characters from the given input, storing
  them in buffer [b], starting at character number [p]. It returns the actual
  number of characters read or raise [No_more_input] if no character can be
  read. It will raise [Invalid_argument] if [p] and [l] do not designate a
  valid subsequence of [b]. *)

val really_input : input -> Bytes.t -> int -> int -> int
(** [really_input i b p l] reads exactly [l] characters from the given input,
  storing them in the buffer [b], starting at position [p]. For consistency with
  {!IO.input} it returns [l]. Raises [No_more_input] if at [l] characters are
  not available. Raises [Invalid_argument] if [p] and [l] do not designate a
  valid subsequence of [b]. *)

val close_in : input -> unit
(** Close the input. It can no longer be read from. *)

val write : 'a output -> char -> unit
(** Write a single char to an output. *)

val nwrite : 'a output -> Bytes.t -> unit
(** Write a byte sequence to an output. *)

val nwrite_string : 'a output -> string -> unit
(** Write a string to an output. *)

val output : 'a output -> Bytes.t -> int -> int -> int
(** [output o b p l] writes up to [l] characters from byte sequence [b], starting at
  offset [p]. It returns the number of characters written. It will raise
  [Invalid_argument] if [p] and [l] do not designate a valid subsequence of [b]. *)

val really_output : 'a output -> Bytes.t -> int -> int -> int
(** [really_output o b p l] writes exactly [l] characters from byte sequence [b] onto
  the the output, starting with the character at offset [p]. For consistency with
  {!IO.output} it returns [l]. Raises [Invalid_argument] if [p] and [l] do not
  designate a valid subsequence of [b]. *)

val flush : 'a output -> unit
(** Flush an output. *)

val close_out : 'a output -> 'a
(** Close the output and return its accumulator data.
  It can no longer be written. *)

(** {6 Generic IO Object Wrappers}

  Theses OO Wrappers have been written to provide easy support of ExtLib
  IO by external librairies. If you want your library to support ExtLib
  IO without actually requiring ExtLib to compile, you can should implement
  the classes [in_channel], [out_channel], [poly_in_channel] and/or
  [poly_out_channel] which are the common IO specifications established
  for ExtLib, OCamlNet and Camomile.

  (see http://www.ocaml-programming.de/tmp/IO-Classes.html for more details).
