Unpack_from
specifies the source of the sequence of bytes to unpack from.
unpack_into_pipe ~from:input ~using:unpack_buffer
returns (output, result)
, and
uses unpack_buffer
to unpack values from input
until input
is closed. It puts
the unpacked values into output
, which is closed once unpacking finishes, be it
normally or due to an error. result
indicates why unpacking finished.
To unpack from a bin_reader
, use:
unpack_into_pipe ~from ~using:(Unpack_buffer.create_bin_prot bin_reader)
Using ~from:(Reader reader)
is more efficient than ~from:(Pipe (Reader.pipe
reader))
because it blits bytes directly from the reader buffer to the unpack buffer,
without any intervening allocation.
