pub struct Cursor<T> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description
A Cursor
wraps an in-memory buffer and provides it with a
Seek
implementation.
Cursor
s are used with in-memory buffers, anything implementing
AsRef<[u8]>
, to allow them to implement Read
and/or Write
,
allowing these buffers to be used anywhere you might use a reader or writer
that does actual I/O.
The standard library implements some I/O traits on various types which
are commonly used as a buffer, like Cursor<Vec<u8>>
and
Cursor<&[u8]>
.
Examples
We may want to write bytes to a File
in our production
code, but use an in-memory buffer in our tests. We can do this with
Cursor
:
use std::io::prelude::*;
use std::io::{self, SeekFrom};
use std::fs::File;
// a library function we've written
fn write_ten_bytes_at_end<W: Write + Seek>(writer: &mut W) -> io::Result<()> {
writer.seek(SeekFrom::End(-10))?;
for i in 0..10 {
writer.write(&[i])?;
}
// all went well
Ok(())
}
// Here's some code that uses this library function.
//
// We might want to use a BufReader here for efficiency, but let's
// keep this example focused.
let mut file = File::create("foo.txt")?;
write_ten_bytes_at_end(&mut file)?;
// now let's write a test
#[test]
fn test_writes_bytes() {
// setting up a real File is much slower than an in-memory buffer,
// let's use a cursor instead
use std::io::Cursor;
let mut buff = Cursor::new(vec![0; 15]);
write_ten_bytes_at_end(&mut buff).unwrap();
assert_eq!(&buff.get_ref()[5..15], &[0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]);
}

Creates a new cursor wrapping the provided underlying in-memory buffer.
Cursor initial position is 0
even if underlying buffer (e.g., Vec
)
is not empty. So writing to cursor starts with overwriting Vec
content, not with appending to it.

let buff = Cursor::new(Vec::new());
