Struct `dmd.root.outbuffer.OutBuffer`

OutBuffer is a write-only output stream of untyped data. It is backed up by a contiguous array or a memory-mapped file.


						
				struct OutBuffer
				;

Constructors

Name	Description
`this` (filename)	Construct from filename. Will map the file into memory (or create it anew if necessary) and start writing at the beginning of it.

Fields

Name	Type	Description
`doindent`	`bool`	Whether to indent
`level`	`int`	Current indent level
`spaces`	`bool`	Whether to indent by 4 spaces or by tabs;

Methods

Name	Description
`allocate` (nbytes)	Allocate space, but leave it uninitialized.
`bracket` (i, left, j, right)	Insert left at i, and right at j. Return index just past right.
`destroy` ()	Releases all resources associated with `this` and resets it as an empty memory buffer. The config variables `notlinehead`, `doindent` etc. are not changed.
`extractData` ()	Transfer ownership of the allocated data to the caller.
`extractSlice` (nullTerminate)	Extract the data as a slice and take ownership of it.
`insert` (offset, p, nbytes)
`moveToFile` (filename)	Destructively saves the contents of `this` to `filename`. As an optimization, if the file already has identical contents with the buffer, no copying is done. This is because on SSD drives reading is often much faster than writing and because there's a high likelihood an identical file is written during the build process.
`opSlice` ()
`print` (u)	Convert `u` to a string and append it to the buffer.
`reserve` (nbytes)	Reserves `nbytes` bytes of additional memory (or file space) in advance. The resulting capacity is at least the previous length plus `nbytes`.
`setsize` (size)	Shrink the size of the data to `size`.
`writenl` ()	write newline
