class type compl_in_channel = object .. end
Further methods usually supported by ocamlnet channel implementations.
These methods are only reasonable when the channel is of blocking type,
i.e. waits for input when not enough data are available to perform an
operation. Implementations may choose to fail when they detect the
channel is non-blocking.
method really_input : string -> int -> int -> unit
Reads exactly as many octets from the channel as the second
int
argument specifies. The octets are placed at the position denoted
by the first
int argument into the string.
When the end of the channel is reached before the passed number of
octets are read, the exception End_of_file is raised.
method input_char : unit -> char
Reads exactly one character from the channel, or raises End_of_file
method input_line : unit -> string
Reads the next line from the channel. When the channel is already
at the end before input_line is called, the exception End_of_file
is raised.
method input_byte : unit -> int
Reads exactly one octet from the channel and returns its code,
or raises End_of_file
