seek_bufread

A drop-in replacement for std::io::BufReader with seeking support.

Full Documentation

Quick Example

use std::io::{self, Cursor, Read, Seek, SeekFrom};
use seek_bufread::BufReader;

let inner = Cursor::new([0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16]);
let mut reader = BufReader::new(inner);

reader.seek(SeekFrom::Current(4)).unwrap();
let mut buf = [0; 8];

// read bytes from internal buffer
reader.read(&mut buf).unwrap();
assert_eq!(buf, [4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]);

Usage

Put this in your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
seek_bufread = "~1.2"

And this in your crate root:

extern crate seek_bufread;

Benchmarks

Tests with the suffix _std are using the standard std::io::BufRead implementation. The Overall performance without seek operations is quite similar between both. With seek operations seek_bufread::BufRead is significantly faster.
