Class SimplexStream

Namespace
Nerdbank.Streams
Assembly
Nerdbank.Streams.dll

A Stream that acts as a queue for bytes, in that what gets written to it can then be read from it, in order.

Constructors

SimplexStream()

Initializes a new instance of the SimplexStream class.

public SimplexStream()

SimplexStream(int, int)

Initializes a new instance of the SimplexStream class.

public SimplexStream(int resumeWriterThreshold, int pauseWriterThreshold)

Parameters

resumeWriterThreshold int

The size the buffer must shrink to after hitting pauseWriterThreshold before writing is allowed to resume.

pauseWriterThreshold int

The maximum size the buffer is allowed to grow before write calls are blocked (pending a read that will release buffer space.

Properties

When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether the current stream supports reading.

public override bool CanRead { get; }

Property Value

bool

true if the stream supports reading; otherwise, false.

CanSeek

When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether the current stream supports seeking.

public override bool CanSeek { get; }

Property Value

bool

true if the stream supports seeking; otherwise, false.

CanWrite

When overridden in a derived class, gets a value indicating whether the current stream supports writing.

public override bool CanWrite { get; }

Property Value

bool

true if the stream supports writing; otherwise, false.

IsDisposed

Gets a value indicating whether this instance has been disposed.

public bool IsDisposed { get; }

Property Value

bool

true if this instance has been disposed.

Length

When overridden in a derived class, gets the length in bytes of the stream.

public override long Length { get; }

Property Value

long

A long value representing the length of the stream in bytes.

Exceptions

NotSupportedException

A class derived from Stream does not support seeking and the length is unknown.

ObjectDisposedException

Methods were called after the stream was closed.

Position

When overridden in a derived class, gets or sets the position within the current stream.

public override long Position { get; set; }

Property Value

long

The current position within the stream.

Exceptions

IOException

An I/O error occurs.

NotSupportedException

The stream does not support seeking.

ObjectDisposedException

Methods were called after the stream was closed.

Methods

CompleteWriting()

Signals that no more writing will take place, causing readers to receive 0 bytes when asking for any more data.

public void CompleteWriting()

Dispose(bool)

Releases the unmanaged resources used by the Stream and optionally releases the managed resources.

protected override void Dispose(bool disposing)

Parameters

disposing bool

true to release both managed and unmanaged resources; false to release only unmanaged resources.

Flush()

When overridden in a derived class, clears all buffers for this stream and causes any buffered data to be written to the underlying device.

public override void Flush()

Exceptions

IOException

An I/O error occurs.

FlushAsync(CancellationToken)

Asynchronously clears all buffers for this stream, causes any buffered data to be written to the underlying device, and monitors cancellation requests.

public override Task FlushAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken)

Parameters

cancellationToken CancellationToken

The token to monitor for cancellation requests. The default value is None.

Returns

Task

A task that represents the asynchronous flush operation.

Exceptions

ObjectDisposedException

The stream has been disposed.

Read(byte[], int, int)

When overridden in a derived class, reads a sequence of bytes from the current stream and advances the position within the stream by the number of bytes read.

public override int Read(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count)

Parameters

buffer byte[]

An array of bytes. When this method returns, the buffer contains the specified byte array with the values between offset and (offset + count - 1) replaced by the bytes read from the current source.

offset int

The zero-based byte offset in buffer at which to begin storing the data read from the current stream.

count int

The maximum number of bytes to be read from the current stream.

Returns

int

The total number of bytes read into the buffer. This can be less than the number of bytes requested if that many bytes are not currently available, or zero (0) if count is 0 or the end of the stream has been reached.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

The sum of offset and count is larger than the buffer length.

ArgumentNullException

buffer is null.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

offset or count is negative.

IOException

An I/O error occurs.

NotSupportedException

The stream does not support reading.

ObjectDisposedException

Methods were called after the stream was closed.

ReadAsync(byte[], int, int, CancellationToken)

Asynchronously reads a sequence of bytes from the current stream, advances the position within the stream by the number of bytes read, and monitors cancellation requests.

public override Task<int> ReadAsync(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count, CancellationToken cancellationToken)

Parameters

buffer byte[]

The buffer to write the data into.

offset int

The byte offset in buffer at which to begin writing data from the stream.

count int

The maximum number of bytes to read.

cancellationToken CancellationToken

The token to monitor for cancellation requests. The default value is None.

Returns

Task<int>

A task that represents the asynchronous read operation. The value of the TResult parameter contains the total number of bytes read into the buffer. The result value can be less than the number of bytes requested if the number of bytes currently available is less than the requested number, or it can be 0 (zero) if count is 0 or if the end of the stream has been reached.

Exceptions

ArgumentNullException

buffer is null.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

offset or count is negative.

ArgumentException

The sum of offset and count is larger than the buffer length.

NotSupportedException

The stream does not support reading.

ObjectDisposedException

The stream has been disposed.

InvalidOperationException

The stream is currently in use by a previous read operation.

Seek(long, SeekOrigin)

When overridden in a derived class, sets the position within the current stream.

public override long Seek(long offset, SeekOrigin origin)

Parameters

offset long

A byte offset relative to the origin parameter.

origin SeekOrigin

A value of type SeekOrigin indicating the reference point used to obtain the new position.

Returns

long

The new position within the current stream.

Exceptions

IOException

An I/O error occurs.

NotSupportedException

The stream does not support seeking, such as if the stream is constructed from a pipe or console output.

ObjectDisposedException

Methods were called after the stream was closed.

SetLength(long)

When overridden in a derived class, sets the length of the current stream.

public override void SetLength(long value)

Parameters

value long

The desired length of the current stream in bytes.

Exceptions

IOException

An I/O error occurs.

NotSupportedException

The stream does not support both writing and seeking, such as if the stream is constructed from a pipe or console output.

ObjectDisposedException

Methods were called after the stream was closed.

Write(byte[], int, int)

When overridden in a derived class, writes a sequence of bytes to the current stream and advances the current position within this stream by the number of bytes written.

public override void Write(byte[] buffer, int offset, int count)

Parameters

buffer byte[]

An array of bytes. This method copies count bytes from buffer to the current stream.

offset int

The zero-based byte offset in buffer at which to begin copying bytes to the current stream.

count int

The number of bytes to be written to the current stream.

Exceptions

ArgumentException

The sum of offset and count is greater than the buffer length.

ArgumentNullException

buffer is null.

ArgumentOutOfRangeException

offset or count is negative.

IOException

An I/O error occurred, such as the specified file cannot be found.

NotSupportedException

The stream does not support writing.

ObjectDisposedException

Write(byte[], int, int) was called after the stream was closed.

WriteAsync(byte[], int, int, CancellationToken)

Asynchronously writes a sequence of bytes to the current stream, advances the current position within this stream by the number of bytes written, and monitors cancellation requests.

The buffer to write data from.

offset int

The zero-based byte offset in buffer from which to begin copying bytes to the stream.
