BufferStream
in package
implements StreamInterface

FinalYes

Provides a buffer stream that can be written to to fill a buffer, and read from to remove bytes from the buffer.

This stream returns a "hwm" metadata value that tells upstream consumers what the configured high water mark of the stream is, or the maximum preferred size of the buffer.

Methods

__construct()  : mixed

Reads all data from the stream into a string, from the beginning to end.
close()  : void
Closes the stream and any underlying resources.
detach()  : resource|null
Separates any underlying resources from the stream.
eof()  : bool
Returns true if the stream is at the end of the stream.
getContents()  : string
Returns the remaining contents in a string
getMetadata()  : mixed
Get stream metadata as an associative array or retrieve a specific key.
getSize()  : int|null
Get the size of the stream if known.
isReadable()  : bool
Returns whether or not the stream is readable.
isSeekable()  : bool
Returns whether or not the stream is seekable.
isWritable()  : bool
Returns whether or not the stream is writable.
read()  : string
Reads data from the buffer.
rewind()  : void
Seek to the beginning of the stream.
seek()  : void
Seek to a position in the stream.
tell()  : int
Returns the current position of the file read/write pointer
write()  : int
Writes data to the buffer.

Properties

Methods

__construct()

public __construct([int $hwm = 16384 ]) : mixed
Parameters
$hwm : int = 16384

High water mark, representing the preferred maximum buffer size. If the size of the buffer exceeds the high water mark, then calls to write will continue to succeed but will return 0 to inform writers to slow down until the buffer has been drained by reading from it.

__toString()

Reads all data from the stream into a string, from the beginning to end.

public __toString() : string

This method MUST attempt to seek to the beginning of the stream before reading data and read the stream until the end is reached.

Warning: This could attempt to load a large amount of data into memory.

This method MUST NOT raise an exception in order to conform with PHP's string casting operations.

Return values
string

close()

Closes the stream and any underlying resources.

public close() : void

detach()

Separates any underlying resources from the stream.

public detach() : resource|null

After the stream has been detached, the stream is in an unusable state.

Return values
resource|null

Underlying PHP stream, if any

eof()

Returns true if the stream is at the end of the stream.

public eof() : bool
Return values
bool

getContents()

Returns the remaining contents in a string

public getContents() : string
Return values
string

getMetadata()

Get stream metadata as an associative array or retrieve a specific key.

public getMetadata([mixed $key = null ]) : mixed
Parameters
$key : mixed = null

Specific metadata to retrieve.

getSize()

Get the size of the stream if known.

public getSize() : int|null
Return values
int|null

Returns the size in bytes if known, or null if unknown.

isReadable()

Returns whether or not the stream is readable.

public isReadable() : bool
Return values
bool

isSeekable()

Returns whether or not the stream is seekable.

public isSeekable() : bool
Return values
bool

isWritable()

Returns whether or not the stream is writable.

public isWritable() : bool
Return values
bool

read()

Reads data from the buffer.

public read(mixed $length) : string
Parameters
$length : mixed

Read up to $length bytes from the object and return them. Fewer than $length bytes may be returned if underlying stream call returns fewer bytes.

Return values
string

Returns the data read from the stream, or an empty string if no bytes are available.

rewind()

Seek to the beginning of the stream.

public rewind() : void

If the stream is not seekable, this method will raise an exception; otherwise, it will perform a seek(0).

seek()

Seek to a position in the stream.

public seek(mixed $offset[, mixed $whence = SEEK_SET ]) : void
Parameters
$offset : mixed

Stream offset

$whence : mixed = SEEK_SET

Specifies how the cursor position will be calculated based on the seek offset. Valid values are identical to the built-in PHP $whence values for fseek(). SEEK_SET: Set position equal to offset bytes SEEK_CUR: Set position to current location plus offset SEEK_END: Set position to end-of-stream plus offset.

tell()

Returns the current position of the file read/write pointer

public tell() : int
Return values
int

Position of the file pointer

write()

Writes data to the buffer.

public write(mixed $string) : int
Parameters
$string : mixed

The string that is to be written.

Return values
int

Returns the number of bytes written to the stream.
