📖 channel_io

Build Status license Version info

A small helper library to convert a flume channel of Bytes into a Channel{Reader,Writer} that implements {Read,Write}.

Example

```rust use std::io::Read;

use bytes::Bytes; use channel_reader::ChannelReader; use flume::bounded;

fn main() { let (tx, rx) = bounded(10); let senderthread = std::thread::spawn(move || { for i in 0..10 { let buffer = Bytes::from(vec![i; 10]); tx.send(buffer).unwrap(); } }); senderthread.join().unwrap();

let mut reader = ChannelReader::new(rx);
let mut buffer = vec![];
reader.read_to_end(&mut buffer).unwrap();
assert_eq!(buffer.len(), 100);

} ```

Why flume?

The goal is to bridge an async reader-like-thing (in this case a DmaStreamReader in Glommio) into a synchronous reader.

Why bytes?

I like the API, and in theory as chunks are dropped on the sync side of the sender depending on how the caller is doing things the memory can be reused.
