# Struct std::io::Take 1.0.0 [−] [src]

    pub struct Take<T> { /* fields omitted */ }

Reader adaptor which limits the bytes read from an underlying reader.

This struct is generally created by calling `take` on a reader. Please see the documentation of `take` for more details.

## Methods

### `impl<T> Take<T>`
[src]

#### `fn limit(&self) -> u64`

Returns the number of bytes that can be read before this instance will return EOF.

# Note

This instance may reach `EOF` after reading fewer bytes than indicated by this method if the underlying `Read` instance reaches EOF.

# Examples

    use std::io;
    use std::io::prelude::*;
    use std::fs::File;

    let f = File::open("foo.txt")?;

    // read at most five bytes
    let handle = f.take(5);

    println!("limit: {}", handle.limit());Run

#### `fn set_limit(&mut self, limit: u64)`

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`take_set_limit` #42781)

Sets the number of bytes that can be read before this instance will return EOF. This is the same as constructing a new `Take` instance, so the amount of bytes read and the previous limit value don't matter when calling this method.

# Examples

    #![feature(take_set_limit)]
    use std::io;
    use std::io::prelude::*;
    use std::fs::File;

    let f = File::open("foo.txt")?;

    // read at most five bytes
    let mut handle = f.take(5);
    handle.set_limit(10);

    assert_eq!(handle.limit(), 10);Run

#### `fn into_inner(self) -> T`
1.15.0

Consumes the `Take`, returning the wrapped reader.

# Examples

    use std::io;
    use std::io::prelude::*;
    use std::fs::File;

    let mut file = File::open("foo.txt")?;

    let mut buffer = [0; 5];
    let mut handle = file.take(5);
    handle.read(&mut buffer)?;

    let file = handle.into_inner();Run

#### `fn get_ref(&self) -> &T`
1.20.0

Gets a reference to the underlying reader.

# Examples

    use std::io;
    use std::io::prelude::*;
    use std::fs::File;

    let mut file = File::open("foo.txt")?;

    let mut buffer = [0; 5];
    let mut handle = file.take(5);
    handle.read(&mut buffer)?;

    let file = handle.get_ref();Run

#### `fn get_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T`
1.20.0

Gets a mutable reference to the underlying reader.

Care should be taken to avoid modifying the internal I/O state of the underlying reader as doing so may corrupt the internal limit of this `Take`.

# Examples

    use std::io;
    use std::io::prelude::*;
    use std::fs::File;

    let mut file = File::open("foo.txt")?;

    let mut buffer = [0; 5];
    let mut handle = file.take(5);
    handle.read(&mut buffer)?;

    let file = handle.get_mut();Run

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
