Documentation

Overview

package mio (short for memory input/output) implements the layered io stack of brig. This includes currently three major parts:

- encrypt - Encryption and Decryption layer with seeking support. - compress - Seekable Compression and Decompression with exchangable algorithms. - overlay - In-Memory write overlay over a io.Reader with seek support.

This package itself contains utils that stack those on top of each of other in an already usable fashion.

Functions

func NewInStream

func NewInStream(r io.Reader, key []byte, algo compress.AlgorithmType) (io.Reader, error)

NewInStream creates a new stream that pipes data into ipfs. The data is read from `r`, encrypted with `key` and compressed with `algo`.

Types

type Stream

type Stream interface {
	io.Reader
	io.Seeker
	io.Closer
	io.WriterTo
}

func LimitStream

func LimitStream(stream Stream, size uint64) Stream

LimitStream is like io.LimitReader, but works for mio.Stream. It will not allow reading/seeking after the specified size.

func NewOutStream

func NewOutStream(r io.ReadSeeker, key []byte) (Stream, error)

NewOutStream creates an OutStream piping data from brig to the outside. `key` is used to decrypt the data. The compression algorithm is read from the stream header.
