Overview

Package bufio implements buffered I/O. It wraps an io.Reader or io.Writer object, creating another object (Reader or Writer) that also implements the interface but provides buffering and some help for textual I/O.

Errors returned by Scanner.

View Source 
var ErrFinalToken = errors.New("final token")

ErrFinalToken is a special sentinel error value. It is intended to be returned by a Split function to indicate that the scanning should stop with no error. If the token being delivered with this error is not nil, the token is the last token.

The value is useful to stop processing early or when it is necessary to deliver a final empty token (which is different from a nil token). One could achieve the same behavior with a custom error value but providing one here is tidier. See the emptyFinalToken example for a use of this value.

Functions

func ScanBytes 

func ScanBytes(data []byte, atEOF bool) (advance int, token []byte, err error)

ScanBytes is a split function for a Scanner that returns each byte as a token.

func ScanLines 

func ScanLines(data []byte, atEOF bool) (advance int, token []byte, err error)

ScanLines is a split function for a Scanner that returns each line of text, stripped of any trailing end-of-line marker. The returned line may be empty. The end-of-line marker is one optional carriage return followed by one mandatory newline. In regular expression notation, it is `\r?\n`. The last non-empty line of input will be returned even if it has no newline.

func ScanRunes 

func ScanRunes(data []byte, atEOF bool) (advance int, token []byte, err error)

ScanRunes is a split function for a Scanner that returns each UTF-8-encoded rune as a token. The sequence of runes returned is equivalent to that from a range loop over the input as a string, which means that erroneous UTF-8 encodings translate to U+FFFD = "\xef\xbf\xbd". Because of the Scan interface, this makes it impossible for the client to distinguish correctly encoded replacement runes from encoding errors.

func ScanWords 

func ScanWords(data []byte, atEOF bool) (advance int, token []byte, err error)

ScanWords is a split function for a Scanner that returns each space-separated word of text, with surrounding spaces deleted. It will never return an empty string. The definition of space is set by unicode.IsSpace.

Types

type ReadWriter 

type ReadWriter struct {
	*Reader
	*Writer
}

ReadWriter stores pointers to a Reader and a Writer. It implements io.ReadWriter.

func NewReadWriter 

func NewReadWriter(r *Reader, w *Writer) *ReadWriter

NewReadWriter allocates a new ReadWriter that dispatches to r and w.

type Reader 

type Reader struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Reader implements buffering for an io.Reader object.

func NewReader 

func NewReader(rd io.Reader) *Reader

NewReader returns a new Reader whose buffer has the default size.

func NewReaderSize 

func NewReaderSize(rd io.Reader, size int) *Reader

NewReaderSize returns a new Reader whose buffer has at least the specified size. If the argument io.Reader is already a Reader with large enough size, it returns the underlying Reader.

func (*Reader) Buffered 

func (b *Reader) Buffered() int

Buffered returns the number of bytes that can be read from the current buffer.

func (*Reader) Discard 

func (b *Reader) Discard(n int) (discarded int, err error)

Discard skips the next n bytes, returning the number of bytes discarded.

If Discard skips fewer than n bytes, it also returns an error. If 0 <= n <= b.Buffered(), Discard is guaranteed to succeed without reading from the underlying io.Reader.

func (*Reader) Peek 

func (b *Reader) Peek(n int) ([]byte, error)

Peek returns the next n bytes without advancing the reader. The bytes stop being valid at the next read call. If Peek returns fewer than n bytes, it also returns an error explaining why the read is short. The error is ErrBufferFull if n is larger than b's buffer size.

Calling Peek prevents a Reader.UnreadByte or Reader.UnreadRune call from succeeding until the next read operation.

func (*Reader) Read 

func (b *Reader) Read(p []byte) (n int, err error)

Read reads data into p. It returns the number of bytes read into p. The bytes are taken from at most one Read on the underlying Reader, hence n may be less than len(p). To read exactly len(p) bytes, use io.ReadFull(b, p). If the underlying Reader can return a non-zero count with io.EOF, then this Read method can do so as well; see the io.Reader docs.

func (*Reader) ReadByte 

func (b *Reader) ReadByte() (byte, error)

ReadByte reads and returns a single byte. If no byte is available, returns an error.

func (*Reader) ReadBytes 

func (b *Reader) ReadBytes(delim byte) ([]byte, error)

ReadBytes reads until the first occurrence of delim in the input, returning a slice containing the data up to and including the delimiter. If ReadBytes encounters an error before finding a delimiter, it returns the data read before the error and the error itself (often io.EOF). ReadBytes returns err != nil if and only if the returned data does not end in delim. For simple uses, a Scanner may be more convenient.

func (*Reader) ReadLine 

func (b *Reader) ReadLine() (line []byte, isPrefix bool, err error)

ReadLine is a low-level line-reading primitive. Most callers should use Reader.ReadBytes('\n') or Reader.ReadString('\n') instead or use a Scanner.

ReadLine tries to return a single line, not including the end-of-line bytes. If the line was too long for the buffer then isPrefix is set and the beginning of the line is returned. The rest of the line will be returned from future calls. isPrefix will be false when returning the last fragment of the line. The returned buffer is only valid until the next call to ReadLine. ReadLine either returns a non-nil line or it returns an error, never both.

The text returned from ReadLine does not include the line end ("\r\n" or "\n"). No indication or error is given if the input ends without a final line end. Calling Reader.UnreadByte after ReadLine will always unread the last byte read (possibly a character belonging to the line end) even if that byte is not part of the line returned by ReadLine.

func (*Reader) ReadRune 

func (b *Reader) ReadRune() (r rune, size int, err error)

ReadRune reads a single UTF-8 encoded Unicode character and returns the rune and its size in bytes. If the encoded rune is invalid, it consumes one byte and returns unicode.ReplacementChar (U+FFFD) with a size of 1.

func (*Reader) ReadSlice 

func (b *Reader) ReadSlice(delim byte) (line []byte, err error)

ReadSlice reads until the first occurrence of delim in the input, returning a slice pointing at the bytes in the buffer. The bytes stop being valid at the next read. If ReadSlice encounters an error before finding a delimiter, it returns all the data in the buffer and the error itself (often io.EOF). ReadSlice fails with error ErrBufferFull if the buffer fills without a delim. Because the data returned from ReadSlice will be overwritten by the next I/O operation, most clients should use Reader.ReadBytes or ReadString instead. ReadSlice returns err != nil if and only if line does not end in delim.

func (*Reader) ReadString 

func (b *Reader) ReadString(delim byte) (string, error)

ReadString reads until the first occurrence of delim in the input, returning a string containing the data up to and including the delimiter. If ReadString encounters an error before finding a delimiter, it returns the data read before the error and the error itself (often io.EOF). ReadString returns err != nil if and only if the returned data does not end in delim. For simple uses, a Scanner may be more convenient.

func (*Reader) Reset 

func (b *Reader) Reset(r io.Reader)

Reset discards any buffered data, resets all state, and switches the buffered reader to read from r. Calling Reset on the zero value of Reader initializes the internal buffer to the default size. Calling b.Reset(b) (that is, resetting a Reader to itself) does nothing.

func (*Reader) Size 

func (b *Reader) Size() int

Size returns the size of the underlying buffer in bytes.

func (*Reader) UnreadByte 

func (b *Reader) UnreadByte() error

UnreadByte unreads the last byte. Only the most recently read byte can be unread.

UnreadByte returns an error if the most recent method called on the Reader was not a read operation. Notably, Reader.Peek, Reader.Discard, and Reader.WriteTo are not considered read operations.

func (*Reader) UnreadRune 

func (b *Reader) UnreadRune() error

UnreadRune unreads the last rune. If the most recent method called on the Reader was not a Reader.ReadRune, Reader.UnreadRune returns an error. (In this regard it is stricter than Reader.UnreadByte, which will unread the last byte from any read operation.)

func (*Reader) WriteTo 

func (b *Reader) WriteTo(w io.Writer) (n int64, err error)

WriteTo implements io.WriterTo. This may make multiple calls to the Reader.Read method of the underlying Reader. If the underlying reader supports the Reader.WriteTo method, this calls the underlying Reader.WriteTo without buffering.

type Scanner 

type Scanner struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Scanner provides a convenient interface for reading data such as a file of newline-delimited lines of text. Successive calls to the Scanner.Scan method will step through the 'tokens' of a file, skipping the bytes between the tokens. The specification of a token is defined by a split function of type SplitFunc; the default split function breaks the input into lines with line termination stripped. Scanner.Split functions are defined in this package for scanning a file into lines, bytes, UTF-8-encoded runes, and space-delimited words. The client may instead provide a custom split function.

Scanning stops unrecoverably at EOF, the first I/O error, or a token too large to fit in the Scanner.Buffer. When a scan stops, the reader may have advanced arbitrarily far past the last token. Programs that need more control over error handling or large tokens, or must run sequential scans on a reader, should use bufio.Reader instead.

Example (Custom)

Use a Scanner with a custom split function (built by wrapping ScanWords) to validate 32-bit decimal input. 

package main

import (
	"bufio"
	"fmt"
	"strconv"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	// An artificial input source.
	const input = "1234 5678 1234567901234567890"
	scanner := bufio.NewScanner(strings.NewReader(input))
	// Create a custom split function by wrapping the existing ScanWords function.
	split := func(data []byte, atEOF bool) (advance int, token []byte, err error) {
		advance, token, err = bufio.ScanWords(data, atEOF)
		if err == nil && token != nil {
			_, err = strconv.ParseInt(string(token), 10, 32)
		}
		return
	}
	// Set the split function for the scanning operation.
	scanner.Split(split)
	// Validate the input
	for scanner.Scan() {
		fmt.Printf("%s\n", scanner.Text())
	}

	if err := scanner.Err(); err != nil {
		fmt.Printf("Invalid input: %s", err)
	}
}

Output:

1234
5678
Invalid input: strconv.ParseInt: parsing "1234567901234567890": value out of range
Example (EarlyStop)

Use a Scanner with a custom split function to parse a comma-separated list with an empty final value but stops at the token "STOP". 

package main

import (
	"bufio"
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
	"os"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	onComma := func(data []byte, atEOF bool) (advance int, token []byte, err error) {
		i := bytes.IndexByte(data, ',')
		if i == -1 {
			if !atEOF {
				return 0, nil, nil
			}
			// If we have reached the end, return the last token.
			return 0, data, bufio.ErrFinalToken
		}
		// If the token is "STOP", stop the scanning and ignore the rest.
		if string(data[:i]) == "STOP" {
			return i + 1, nil, bufio.ErrFinalToken
		}
		// Otherwise, return the token before the comma.
		return i + 1, data[:i], nil
	}
	const input = "1,2,STOP,4,"
	scanner := bufio.NewScanner(strings.NewReader(input))
	scanner.Split(onComma)
	for scanner.Scan() {
		fmt.Printf("Got a token %q\n", scanner.Text())
	}
	if err := scanner.Err(); err != nil {
		fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, "reading input:", err)
	}
}

Output:

Got a token "1"
Got a token "2"
Example (EmptyFinalToken)

Use a Scanner with a custom split function to parse a comma-separated list with an empty final value. 

package main

import (
	"bufio"
	"fmt"
	"os"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	// Comma-separated list; last entry is empty.
	const input = "1,2,3,4,"
	scanner := bufio.NewScanner(strings.NewReader(input))
	// Define a split function that separates on commas.
	onComma := func(data []byte, atEOF bool) (advance int, token []byte, err error) {
		for i := 0; i < len(data); i++ {
			if data[i] == ',' {
				return i + 1, data[:i], nil
			}
		}
		if !atEOF {
			return 0, nil, nil
		}
		// There is one final token to be delivered, which may be the empty string.
		// Returning bufio.ErrFinalToken here tells Scan there are no more tokens after this
		// but does not trigger an error to be returned from Scan itself.
		return 0, data, bufio.ErrFinalToken
	}
	scanner.Split(onComma)
	// Scan.
	for scanner.Scan() {
		fmt.Printf("%q ", scanner.Text())
	}
	if err := scanner.Err(); err != nil {
		fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, "reading input:", err)
	}
}

Output:

"1" "2" "3" "4" ""
Example (Lines)

The simplest use of a Scanner, to read standard input as a set of lines. 

package main

import (
	"bufio"
	"fmt"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	scanner := bufio.NewScanner(os.Stdin)
	for scanner.Scan() {
		fmt.Println(scanner.Text()) // Println will add back the final '\n'
	}
	if err := scanner.Err(); err != nil {
		fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, "reading standard input:", err)
	}
}

Output:
Example (Words)

Use a Scanner to implement a simple word-count utility by scanning the input as a sequence of space-delimited tokens. 

package main

import (
	"bufio"
	"fmt"
	"os"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	// An artificial input source.
	const input = "Now is the winter of our discontent,\nMade glorious summer by this sun of York.\n"
	scanner := bufio.NewScanner(strings.NewReader(input))
	// Set the split function for the scanning operation.
	scanner.Split(bufio.ScanWords)
	// Count the words.
	count := 0
	for scanner.Scan() {
		count++
	}
	if err := scanner.Err(); err != nil {
		fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, "reading input:", err)
	}
	fmt.Printf("%d\n", count)
}

Output:

15

func NewScanner 

func NewScanner(r io.Reader) *Scanner

NewScanner returns a new Scanner to read from r. The split function defaults to ScanLines.

func (*Scanner) Buffer 

func (s *Scanner) Buffer(buf []byte, max int)

Buffer sets the initial buffer to use when scanning and the maximum size of buffer that may be allocated during scanning. The maximum token size must be less than the larger of max and cap(buf). If max <= cap(buf), Scanner.Scan will use this buffer only and do no allocation.

By default, Scanner.Scan uses an internal buffer and sets the maximum token size to MaxScanTokenSize.

Buffer panics if it is called after scanning has started.

func (*Scanner) Bytes 

func (s *Scanner) Bytes() []byte

Bytes returns the most recent token generated by a call to Scanner.Scan. The underlying array may point to data that will be overwritten by a subsequent call to Scan. It does no allocation.

Example

Return the most recent call to Scan as a []byte. 

package main

import (
	"bufio"
	"fmt"
	"os"
	"strings"
)

func main() {
	scanner := bufio.NewScanner(strings.NewReader("gopher"))
	for scanner.Scan() {
		fmt.Println(len(scanner.Bytes()) == 6)
	}
	if err := scanner.Err(); err != nil {
		fmt.Fprintln(os.Stderr, "shouldn't see an error scanning a string")
	}
}

Output:

true

func (*Scanner) Err 

func (s *Scanner) Err() error

Err returns the first non-EOF error that was encountered by the Scanner.

func (*Scanner) Scan 

func (s *Scanner) Scan() bool

Scan advances the Scanner to the next token, which will then be available through the Scanner.Bytes or Scanner.Text method. It returns false when there are no more tokens, either by reaching the end of the input or an error. After Scan returns false, the Scanner.Err method will return any error that occurred during scanning, except that if it was io.EOF, Scanner.Err will return nil. Scan panics if the split function returns too many empty tokens without advancing the input. This is a common error mode for scanners.

func (*Scanner) Split 

func (s *Scanner) Split(split SplitFunc)

Split sets the split function for the Scanner. The default split function is ScanLines.

Split panics if it is called after scanning has started.

func (*Scanner) Text 

func (s *Scanner) Text() string

Text returns the most recent token generated by a call to Scanner.Scan as a newly allocated string holding its bytes.

type SplitFunc 

type SplitFunc func(data []byte, atEOF bool) (advance int, token []byte, err error)

SplitFunc is the signature of the split function used to tokenize the input. The arguments are an initial substring of the remaining unprocessed data and a flag, atEOF, that reports whether the Reader has no more data to give. The return values are the number of bytes to advance the input and the next token to return to the user, if any, plus an error, if any.

Scanning stops if the function returns an error, in which case some of the input may be discarded. If that error is ErrFinalToken, scanning stops with no error. A non-nil token delivered with ErrFinalToken will be the last token, and a nil token with ErrFinalToken immediately stops the scanning.

Otherwise, the Scanner advances the input. If the token is not nil, the Scanner returns it to the user. If the token is nil, the Scanner reads more data and continues scanning; if there is no more data--if atEOF was true--the Scanner returns. If the data does not yet hold a complete token, for instance if it has no newline while scanning lines, a SplitFunc can return (0, nil, nil) to signal the Scanner to read more data into the slice and try again with a longer slice starting at the same point in the input.

The function is never called with an empty data slice unless atEOF is true. If atEOF is true, however, data may be non-empty and, as always, holds unprocessed text.

type Writer 

type Writer struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Writer implements buffering for an io.Writer object. If an error occurs writing to a Writer, no more data will be accepted and all subsequent writes, and Writer.Flush, will return the error. After all data has been written, the client should call the Writer.Flush method to guarantee all data has been forwarded to the underlying io.Writer.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bufio"
	"fmt"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	w := bufio.NewWriter(os.Stdout)
	fmt.Fprint(w, "Hello, ")
	fmt.Fprint(w, "world!")
	w.Flush() // Don't forget to flush!
}

Output:

Hello, world!

func NewWriter 

func NewWriter(w io.Writer) *Writer

NewWriter returns a new Writer whose buffer has the default size. If the argument io.Writer is already a Writer with large enough buffer size, it returns the underlying Writer.

func NewWriterSize 

func NewWriterSize(w io.Writer, size int) *Writer

NewWriterSize returns a new Writer whose buffer has at least the specified size. If the argument io.Writer is already a Writer with large enough size, it returns the underlying Writer.

func (*Writer) Available 

func (b *Writer) Available() int

Available returns how many bytes are unused in the buffer.

func (*Writer) AvailableBuffer 

func (b *Writer) AvailableBuffer() []byte

AvailableBuffer returns an empty buffer with b.Available() capacity. This buffer is intended to be appended to and passed to an immediately succeeding Writer.Write call. The buffer is only valid until the next write operation on b.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bufio"
	"os"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	w := bufio.NewWriter(os.Stdout)
	for _, i := range []int64{1, 2, 3, 4} {
		b := w.AvailableBuffer()
		b = strconv.AppendInt(b, i, 10)
		b = append(b, ' ')
		w.Write(b)
	}
	w.Flush()
}

Output:

1 2 3 4

func (*Writer) Buffered 

func (b *Writer) Buffered() int

Buffered returns the number of bytes that have been written into the current buffer.

func (*Writer) Flush 

func (b *Writer) Flush() error

Flush writes any buffered data to the underlying io.Writer.

func (*Writer) ReadFrom 

func (b *Writer) ReadFrom(r io.Reader) (n int64, err error)

ReadFrom implements io.ReaderFrom. If the underlying writer supports the ReadFrom method, this calls the underlying ReadFrom. If there is buffered data and an underlying ReadFrom, this fills the buffer and writes it before calling ReadFrom.

func (*Writer) Reset 

func (b *Writer) Reset(w io.Writer)

Reset discards any unflushed buffered data, clears any error, and resets b to write its output to w. Calling Reset on the zero value of Writer initializes the internal buffer to the default size. Calling w.Reset(w) (that is, resetting a Writer to itself) does nothing.

func (*Writer) Size 

func (b *Writer) Size() int

Size returns the size of the underlying buffer in bytes.

func (*Writer) Write 

func (b *Writer) Write(p []byte) (nn int, err error)

Write writes the contents of p into the buffer. It returns the number of bytes written. If nn < len(p), it also returns an error explaining why the write is short.

func (*Writer) WriteByte 

func (b *Writer) WriteByte(c byte) error

WriteByte writes a single byte.

func (*Writer) WriteRune 

func (b *Writer) WriteRune(r rune) (size int, err error)

WriteRune writes a single Unicode code point, returning the number of bytes written and any error.

func (*Writer) WriteString 

func (b *Writer) WriteString(s string) (int, error)

WriteString writes a string. It returns the number of bytes written. If the count is less than len(s), it also returns an error explaining why the write is short.
