FileStream class

Implementation of RandomAccessStream which reads from a file Currently this does not perform smart buffering and can be quite slow

Wrap a FileStream in a BufferedRandomAccessStream to improve performance

Inheritance

Constructors

FileStream.new(RandomAccessFile _file)
Create a new FileStream from a file

Properties

hashCode → int
The hash code for this object.
no setterinherited
length → Future<int>
Returns the length of the stream in bytes.
latefinal
position → Future<int>
Returns the current position in the stream.
no setteroverride
runtimeType → Type
A representation of the runtime type of the object.
no setterinherited

Methods

fastRead(int count) → Future<Uint8List>
A potentially faster variant of readBuffer.
inherited
noSuchMethod(Invocation invocation) → dynamic
Invoked when a nonexistent method or property is accessed.
inherited
peekByte() → Future<int>
Returns the next byte in the stream without advancing the position. Returns -1 if the end of the stream has been reached.
override
readBuffer(int count, Uint8List into) → Future<int>
Attempts to read count bytes from the stream into into. Returns the number of bytes read (which can be < count if the end of the stream has been reached).
override
readByte() → Future<int>
Attempts to read a single byte from the stream. Reading past the end of the stream will return -1.
override
readLine() → Future<String>
Reads a single line from the stream. A line is terminated by 0x0A (possibly preceded by 0x0D). The line terminator is not included in the returned string. Throws an EOFException if the end of the stream is reached before a line terminator is found AND no characters have been read.
inherited
seek(int offset) → Future<void>
Seeks to the given offset in the stream (from the beginning).
override
toString() → String
A string representation of this object.

Operators

operator ==(Object other) → bool
The equality operator.
