buffer.go bytes.go reader.go

Constants

MinRead is the minimum slice size passed to a Read call by Buffer.ReadFrom. As long as the Buffer has at least MinRead bytes beyond what is required to hold the contents of r, ReadFrom will not grow the underlying buffer.

const MinRead = 512

Variables

ErrTooLarge is passed to panic if memory cannot be allocated to store data in a buffer.

var ErrTooLarge = errors.New("bytes.Buffer: too large")

func Compare

func Compare(a, b []byte) int

Compare returns an integer comparing two byte slices lexicographically. The result will be 0 if a==b, -1 if a < b, and +1 if a > b. A nil argument is equivalent to an empty slice.

Example

Code:

// Interpret Compare's result by comparing it to zero.
var a, b []byte
if bytes.Compare(a, b) < 0 {
		// a less b
}
if bytes.Compare(a, b) <= 0 {
		// a less or equal b
}
if bytes.Compare(a, b) > 0 {
		// a greater b
}
if bytes.Compare(a, b) >= 0 {
		// a greater or equal b
}

// Prefer Equal to Compare for equality comparisons.
if bytes.Equal(a, b) {
		// a equal b
}
if !bytes.Equal(a, b) {
		// a not equal b
}

func Contains

func Contains(b, subslice []byte) bool

Contains reports whether subslice is within b.

Example

Code:

fmt.Println(bytes.Contains([]byte("seafood"), []byte("foo")))
fmt.Println(bytes.Contains([]byte("seafood"), []byte("bar")))
fmt.Println(bytes.Contains([]byte("seafood"), []byte("")))
fmt.Println(bytes.Contains([]byte(""), []byte("")))

Output:

true
false
true
true

func ContainsAny 1.7

func ContainsAny(b []byte, chars string) bool

ContainsAny reports whether any of the UTF-8-encoded code points in chars are within b.

Example

Code:

fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsAny([]byte("I like seafood."), "fÄo!"))
fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsAny([]byte("I like seafood."), "去是伟大的."))
fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsAny([]byte("I like seafood."), ""))
fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsAny([]byte(""), ""))

Output:

true
true
false
false

func ContainsRune 1.7

func ContainsRune(b []byte, r rune) bool

ContainsRune reports whether the rune is contained in the UTF-8-encoded byte slice b.

Example

Code:

fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsRune([]byte("I like seafood."), 'f'))
fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsRune([]byte("I like seafood."), 'ö'))
fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsRune([]byte("去是伟大的!"), '大'))
fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsRune([]byte("去是伟大的!"), '!'))
fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsRune([]byte(""), '@'))

Output:

true
false
true
true
false

func Count

func Count(s, sep []byte) int

Count counts the number of non-overlapping instances of sep in s. If sep is an empty slice, Count returns 1 + the number of UTF-8-encoded code points in s.

Example

Code:

fmt.Println(bytes.Count([]byte("cheese"), []byte("e")))
fmt.Println(bytes.Count([]byte("five"), []byte(""))) // before & after each rune

Output:

3
5

func Equal

func Equal(a, b []byte) bool

Equal reports whether a and b are the same length and contain the same bytes. A nil argument is equivalent to an empty slice.

Example

Code:

fmt.Println(bytes.Equal([]byte("Go"), []byte("Go")))
fmt.Println(bytes.Equal([]byte("Go"), []byte("C++")))

Output:

true
false

func EqualFold

func EqualFold(s, t []byte) bool

EqualFold reports whether s and t, interpreted as UTF-8 strings, are equal under Unicode case-folding, which is a more general form of case-insensitivity.

Example

Code:

fmt.Println(bytes.EqualFold([]byte("Go"), []byte("go")))

Output:

true

func Fields

func Fields(s []byte) [][]byte

Fields interprets s as a sequence of UTF-8-encoded code points. It splits the slice s around each instance of one or more consecutive white space characters, as defined by unicode.IsSpace, returning a slice of subslices of s or an empty slice if s contains only white space.

Example

Code:

fmt.Printf("Fields are: %q", bytes.Fields([]byte("	foo bar	baz	 ")))

Output:

Fields are: ["foo" "bar" "baz"]

func FieldsFunc

func FieldsFunc(s []byte, f func(rune) bool) [][]byte

FieldsFunc interprets s as a sequence of UTF-8-encoded code points. It splits the slice s at each run of code points c satisfying f(c) and returns a slice of subslices of s. If all code points in s satisfy f(c), or len(s) == 0, an empty slice is returned.

FieldsFunc makes no guarantees about the order in which it calls f(c) and assumes that f always returns the same value for a given c.

Example

Code:

f := func(c rune) bool {
		return !unicode.IsLetter(c) && !unicode.IsNumber(c)
}
fmt.Printf("Fields are: %q", bytes.FieldsFunc([]byte("	foo1;bar2,baz3..."), f))

Output:

Fields are: ["foo1" "bar2" "baz3"]

Example

Code:

fmt.Println(bytes.HasPrefix([]byte("Gopher"), []byte("Go")))
fmt.Println(bytes.HasPrefix([]byte("Gopher"), []byte("C")))
fmt.Println(bytes.HasPrefix([]byte("Gopher"), []byte("")))

Output:

true
false
true

func HasSuffix

func HasSuffix(s, suffix []byte) bool

HasSuffix tests whether the byte slice s ends with suffix.

Example

Output:

4
-1

func IndexFunc

func IndexFunc(s []byte, f func(r rune) bool) int

Example

Code:

f := func(c rune) bool {
		return unicode.Is(unicode.Han, c)
}
fmt.Println(bytes.IndexFunc([]byte("Hello, 世界"), f))
fmt.Println(bytes.IndexFunc([]byte("Hello, world"), f))

Output:

7
-1

func IndexRune

func IndexRune(s []byte, r rune) int

IndexRune interprets s as a sequence of UTF-8-encoded code points. It returns the byte index of the first occurrence in s of the given rune. It returns -1 if rune is not present in s. If r is utf8.RuneError, it returns the first instance of any invalid UTF-8 byte sequence.

Example

Code:

fmt.Println(bytes.IndexRune([]byte("chicken"), 'k'))
fmt.Println(bytes.IndexRune([]byte("chicken"), 'd'))

Output:

9
-1

func Map

func Map(mapping func(r rune) rune, s []byte) []byte

Map returns a copy of the byte slice s with all its characters modified according to the mapping function. If mapping returns a negative value, the character is dropped from the byte slice with no replacement. The characters in s and the output are interpreted as UTF-8-encoded code points.

Example

Code:

rot13 := func(r rune) rune {
		switch {
		case r >= 'A' && r <= 'Z':
				return 'A' + (r-'A'+13)%26
		case r >= 'a' && r <= 'z':

If old is empty, it matches at the beginning of the slice and after each UTF-8 sequence, yielding up to k+1 replacements for a k-rune slice. If n < 0, there is no limit on the number of replacements.

Example

Code:

fmt.Printf("%s\n", bytes.Replace([]byte("oink oink oink"), []byte("k"), []byte("ky"), 2))

Split slices s into all subslices separated by sep and returns a slice of the subslices between those separators. If sep is empty, Split splits after each UTF-8 sequence. It is equivalent to SplitN with a count of -1.

Example

Code:

fmt.Printf("%q\n", bytes.Split([]byte("a,b,c"), []byte(",")))
fmt.Printf("%q\n", bytes.Split([]byte("a man a plan a canal panama"), []byte("a ")))
fmt.Printf("%q\n", bytes.Split([]byte(" xyz "), []byte("")))

[""]

func SplitAfter

func SplitAfter(s, sep []byte) [][]byte

SplitAfter slices s into all subslices after each instance of sep and returns a slice of those subslices. If sep is empty, SplitAfter splits after each UTF-8 sequence. It is equivalent to SplitAfterN with a count of -1.

Example

Code:

fmt.Printf("%q\n", bytes.SplitAfter([]byte("a,b,c"), []byte(",")))

Output:

["a," "b," "c"]

func SplitAfterN

func SplitAfterN(s, sep []byte, n int) [][]byte

SplitAfterN slices s into subslices after each instance of sep and returns a slice of those subslices. If sep is empty, SplitAfterN splits after each UTF-8 sequence. The count determines the number of subslices to return:

n > 0: at most n subslices; the last subslice will be the unsplit remainder.
n == 0: the result is nil (zero subslices)
n < 0: all subslices
Example

Code:

fmt.Printf("%q\n", bytes.SplitAfterN([]byte("a,b,c"), []byte(","), 2))

Output:

["a," "b,c"]

func SplitN

func SplitN(s, sep []byte, n int) [][]byte

SplitN slices s into subslices separated by sep and returns a slice of the subslices between those separators. If sep is empty, SplitN splits after each UTF-8 sequence. The count determines the number of subslices to return:

n > 0: at most n subslices; the last subslice will be the unsplit remainder.
n == 0: the result is nil (zero subslices)
n < 0: all subslices
Example

Code:

fmt.Printf("%q\n", bytes.SplitN([]byte("a,b,c"), []byte(","), 2))
z := bytes.SplitN([]byte("a,b,c"), []byte(","), 0)

var b = []byte("Hello, goodbye, etc!")
b = bytes.TrimSuffix(b, []byte("goodbye, etc!"))
b = bytes.TrimSuffix(b, []byte("gopher"))
b = append(b, bytes.TrimSuffix([]byte("world!"), []byte("x!"))...)
os.Stdout.Write(b)

Output:

Hello, world!

type Buffer

A Buffer is a variable-sized buffer of bytes with Read and Write methods. The zero value for Buffer is an empty buffer ready to use.

type Buffer struct {
		// contains filtered or unexported fields
}
Example

Code:

var b bytes.Buffer // A Buffer needs no initialization.
b.Write([]byte("Hello "))
fmt.Fprintf(&b, "world!")
b.WriteTo(os.Stdout)

Output:

Hello world!
Example (Reader)

Code:

// A Buffer can turn a string or a []byte into an io.Reader.
buf := bytes.NewBufferString("R29waGVycyBydWxlIQ==")
dec := base64.NewDecoder(base64.StdEncoding, buf)
io.Copy(os.Stdout, dec)

Output:

Gophers rule!

func NewBuffer

func NewBuffer(buf []byte) *Buffer

NewBuffer creates and initializes a new Buffer using buf as its initial contents. The new Buffer takes ownership of buf, and the caller should not use buf after this call. NewBuffer is intended to prepare a Buffer to read existing data. It can also be used to set the initial size of the internal buffer for writing. To do that, buf should have the desired capacity but a length of zero.

In most cases, new(Buffer) (or just declaring a Buffer variable) is sufficient to initialize a Buffer.

func NewBufferString

func NewBufferString(s string) *Buffer

NewBufferString creates and initializes a new Buffer using string s as its initial contents. It is intended to prepare a buffer to read an existing string.

In most cases, new(Buffer) (or just declaring a Buffer variable) is sufficient to initialize a Buffer.

func (*Buffer) Bytes

func (b *Buffer) Bytes() []byte

Bytes returns a slice of length b.Len() holding the unread portion of the buffer. The slice is valid for use only until the next buffer modification (that is, only until the next call to a method like Read, Write, Reset, or Truncate). The slice aliases the buffer content at least until the next buffer modification, so immediate changes to the slice will affect the result of future reads.

Example

Code:

buf := bytes.Buffer{}
buf.Write([]byte{'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', ' ', 'w', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd'})
os.Stdout.Write(buf.Bytes())

Output:

hello world

func (*Buffer) Cap 1.5

func (b *Buffer) Cap() int

Cap returns the capacity of the buffer's underlying byte slice, that is, the total space allocated for the buffer's data.

func (*Buffer) Grow 1.1

func (b *Buffer) Grow(n int)

Grow grows the buffer's capacity, if necessary, to guarantee space for another n bytes. After Grow(n), at least n bytes can be written to the buffer without another allocation. If n is negative, Grow will panic. If the buffer can't grow it will panic with ErrTooLarge.

Example

Code:

var b bytes.Buffer
b.Grow(64)
bb := b.Bytes()
b.Write([]byte("64 bytes or fewer"))
fmt.Printf("%q", bb[:b.Len()])

Output:

"64 bytes or fewer"

func (*Buffer) Len

func (b *Buffer) Len() int

Len returns the number of bytes of the unread portion of the buffer; b.Len() == len(b.Bytes()).

Example

Code:

var b bytes.Buffer
b.Grow(64)
b.Write([]byte("abcde"))
fmt.Printf("%d", b.Len())

Output:

5

func (*Buffer) Next

func (b *Buffer) Next(n int) []byte

Next returns a slice containing the next n bytes from the buffer, advancing the buffer as if the bytes had been returned by Read. If there are fewer than n bytes in the buffer, Next returns the entire buffer. The slice is only valid until the next call to a read or write method.

func (*Buffer) Read

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

Read reads the next len(p) bytes from the buffer or until the buffer is drained. The return value n is the number of bytes read. If the buffer has no data to return, err is io.EOF (unless len(p) is zero); otherwise it is nil.

func (*Buffer) ReadByte

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

ReadByte reads and returns the next byte from the buffer. If no byte is available, it returns error io.EOF.

func (*Buffer) ReadBytes

func (b *Buffer) ReadBytes(delim byte) (line []byte, err 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.

func (*Buffer) ReadFrom

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

ReadFrom reads data from r until EOF and appends it to the buffer, growing the buffer as needed. The return value n is the number of bytes read. Any error except io.EOF encountered during the read is also returned. If the buffer becomes too large, ReadFrom will panic with ErrTooLarge.

func (*Buffer) ReadRune

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

ReadRune reads and returns the next UTF-8-encoded Unicode code point from the buffer. If no bytes are available, the error returned is io.EOF. If the bytes are an erroneous UTF-8 encoding, it consumes one byte and returns U+FFFD, 1.

func (*Buffer) ReadString

func (b *Buffer) ReadString(delim byte) (line string, err 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.

func (*Buffer) Reset

func (b *Buffer) Reset()

Reset resets the buffer to be empty, but it retains the underlying storage for use by future writes. Reset is the same as Truncate(0).

func (*Buffer) String

func (b *Buffer) String() string

String returns the contents of the unread portion of the buffer as a string. If the Buffer is a nil pointer, it returns "<nil>".

To build strings more efficiently, see the strings.Builder type.

func (*Buffer) Truncate

func (b *Buffer) Truncate(n int)

Truncate discards all but the first n unread bytes from the buffer but continues to use the same allocated storage. It panics if n is negative or greater than the length of the buffer.

func (*Buffer) UnreadByte

func (b *Buffer) UnreadByte() error

UnreadByte unreads the last byte returned by the most recent successful read operation that read at least one byte. If a write has happened since the last read, if the last read returned an error, or if the read read zero bytes, UnreadByte returns an error.

func (*Buffer) UnreadRune

func (b *Buffer) UnreadRune() error

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

func (*Buffer) Write

func (b *Buffer) Write(p []byte) (n int, err error)

Write appends the contents of p to the buffer, growing the buffer as needed. The return value n is the length of p; err is always nil. If the buffer becomes too large, Write will panic with ErrTooLarge.

func (*Buffer) WriteByte

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

WriteByte appends the byte c to the buffer, growing the buffer as needed. The returned error is always nil, but is included to match bufio.Writer's WriteByte. If the buffer becomes too large, WriteByte will panic with ErrTooLarge.

func (*Buffer) WriteRune

func (b *Buffer) WriteRune(r rune) (n int, err error)

WriteRune appends the UTF-8 encoding of Unicode code point r to the buffer, returning its length and an error, which is always nil but is included to match bufio.Writer's WriteRune. The buffer is grown as needed; if it becomes too large, WriteRune will panic with ErrTooLarge.

func (*Buffer) WriteString

func (b *Buffer) WriteString(s string) (n int, err error)

WriteString appends the contents of s to the buffer, growing the buffer as needed. The return value n is the length of s; err is always nil. If the buffer becomes too large, WriteString will panic with ErrTooLarge.

func (*Buffer) WriteTo

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

WriteTo writes data to w until the buffer is drained or an error occurs. The return value n is the number of bytes written; it always fits into an int, but it is int64 to match the io.WriterTo interface. Any error encountered during the write is also returned.

type Reader

A Reader implements the io.Reader, io.ReaderAt, io.WriterTo, io.Seeker, io.ByteScanner, and io.RuneScanner interfaces by reading from a byte slice. Unlike a Buffer, a Reader is read-only and supports seeking. The zero value for Reader operates like a Reader of an empty slice.

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

func NewReader

func NewReader(b []byte) *Reader

NewReader returns a new Reader reading from b.

func (*Reader) Len

func (r *Reader) Len() int

Len returns the number of bytes of the unread portion of the slice.

Example

Code:

fmt.Println(bytes.NewReader([]byte("Hi!")).Len())
fmt.Println(bytes.NewReader([]byte("こんにちは!")).Len())

Output:

3
16

func (*Reader) Read

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

func (*Reader) ReadAt

func (r *Reader) ReadAt(b []byte, off int64) (n int, err error)

ReadAt implements the io.ReaderAt interface.

func (*Reader) Reset 1.7

func (r *Reader) Reset(b []byte)

Reset resets the Reader to be reading from b.

func (*Reader) Seek

func (r *Reader) Seek(offset int64, whence int) (int64, error)

Seek implements the io.Seeker interface.

func (*Reader) Size 1.5

func (r *Reader) Size() int64

Size returns the original length of the underlying byte slice. Size is the number of bytes available for reading via ReadAt. The returned value is always the same and is not affected by calls to any other method.

func (*Reader) UnreadByte

func (r *Reader) UnreadByte() error

UnreadByte complements ReadByte in implementing the io.ByteScanner interface.

func (*Reader) UnreadRune

func (r *Reader) UnreadRune() error

UnreadRune complements ReadRune in implementing the io.RuneScanner interface.
