<h1>Object Instance <code>nixio.UnifiedIO</code></h1>

<p>
 Unified high-level I/O utility API for Files, Sockets and TLS-Sockets. 
 These functions are added to the object function tables by doing <strong> 
 require "nixio.util"</strong>, can be used on all nixio IO  Descriptors and 
 are based on the shared low-level read() and write() functions.</p>

<h2><a name="functions"></a>Functions</h2>
<dl class="function">


<dt><a name="UnifiedIO.blocksource"></a><strong>UnifiedIO:blocksource</strong>&nbsp;(blocksize, limit)</dt>
<dd>

 Create a block-based iterator.


<h3>Parameters</h3>
<ul>
	
	<li>
	  blocksize: Advisory blocksize (optional)
	</li>
	
	<li>
	  limit: Amount of data to consume (optional)
	</li>
	
</ul>


<h3>Usage</h3>
<ul>
	
	<li>This function uses the low-level read function of the descriptor.
	
	<li>The blocksize given is only advisory and to be seen as an upper limit, 
 if an underlying read returns less bytes the chunk is nevertheless returned.
	
	<li>If the limit parameter is omitted, the iterator returns data 
 until an end-of-file, end-of-stream, connection shutdown or similar happens.
	
	<li>The iterator will not buffer so it is safe to mix with calls to read.
	
	<li>If the descriptor is non-blocking the iterator may fail with EAGAIN.
	
	<li>The iterator can be used as an LTN12 source.
	
</ul>


<h3>Return value:</h3>
Block-based Iterator


</dd>


<dt><a name="UnifiedIO.close"></a><strong>UnifiedIO:close</strong>&nbsp;()</dt>
<dd>

 Close the descriptor.


<h3>Usage:</h3>
If the descriptor is a TLS-socket the underlying descriptor is 
 closed without touching the TLS connection.


<h3>Return value:</h3>
true


</dd>


<dt><a name="UnifiedIO.copy"></a><strong>UnifiedIO:copy</strong>&nbsp;(fdout, size)</dt>
<dd>

 Copy data from the current descriptor to another one.


<h3>Parameters</h3>
<ul>
	
	<li>
	  fdout: Target Descriptor
	</li>
	
	<li>
	  size: Bytes to copy (optional)
	</li>
	
</ul>


<h3>Usage</h3>
<ul>
	
	<li>This function uses the blocksource function of the source descriptor 
 and the sink function of the target descriptor.
	
	<li>If the limit parameter is omitted, data is copied 
 until an end-of-file, end-of-stream, connection shutdown or similar happens.
	
	<li>If the descriptor is non-blocking the function may fail with EAGAIN.
	
</ul>


<h3>Return values:</h3>
<ol>
	
	<li>bytes that were successfully written if no error occurred
	
	<li>- reserved for error code -
	
	<li>- reserved for error message -
	
	<li>bytes that were successfully written even if an error occurred
	
</ol>


</dd>


<dt><a name="UnifiedIO.copyz"></a><strong>UnifiedIO:copyz</strong>&nbsp;(fdout, size)</dt>
<dd>

 Copy data from the current descriptor to another one using kernel-space 
 copying if possible.


<h3>Parameters</h3>
<ul>
	
	<li>
	  fdout: Target Descriptor
	</li>
	
	<li>
	  size: Bytes to copy (optional)
	</li>
	
</ul>


<h3>Usage</h3>
<ul>
	
	<li>This function uses the sendfile() syscall to copy the data or the 
 blocksource function of the source descriptor and the sink function 
 of the target descriptor as a fallback mechanism.
	
	<li>If the limit parameter is omitted, data is copied 
 until an end-of-file, end-of-stream, connection shutdown or similar happens.
	
	<li>If the descriptor is non-blocking the function may fail with EAGAIN.
	
</ul>


<h3>Return values:</h3>
<ol>
	
	<li>bytes that were successfully written if no error occurred
	
	<li>- reserved for error code -
	
	<li>- reserved for error message -
	
	<li>bytes that were successfully written even if an error occurred
	
</ol>


</dd>


<dt><a name="UnifiedIO.is_file"></a><strong>UnifiedIO:is_file</strong>&nbsp;()</dt>
<dd>

 Test whether the I/O-Descriptor is a file. 


<h3>Return value:</h3>
boolean


</dd>


<dt><a name="UnifiedIO.is_socket"></a><strong>UnifiedIO:is_socket</strong>&nbsp;()</dt>
<dd>

 Test whether the I/O-Descriptor is a socket. 


<h3>Return value:</h3>
boolean


</dd>


<dt><a name="UnifiedIO.is_tls_socket"></a><strong>UnifiedIO:is_tls_socket</strong>&nbsp;()</dt>
<dd>

 Test whether the I/O-Descriptor is a TLS socket. 


<h3>Return value:</h3>
boolean


</dd>


<dt><a name="UnifiedIO.linesource"></a><strong>UnifiedIO:linesource</strong>&nbsp;(limit)</dt>
<dd>

 Create a line-based iterator. 
 Lines may end with either \n or \r\n, these control chars are not included 
 in the return value.


<h3>Parameters</h3>
<ul>
	
	<li>
	  limit: Line limit
	</li>
	
</ul>


<h3>Usage</h3>
<ul>
	
	<li>This function uses the low-level read function of the descriptor.
	
	<li><strong>Note:</strong> This function uses an internal buffer to read 
 ahead. Do NOT mix calls to read(all) and the returned iterator. If you want 
 to stop reading line-based and want to use the read(all) functions instead 
 you can pass "true" to the iterator which will flush the buffer  
 and return the bufferd data.
	
	<li>If the limit parameter is omitted, this function uses the nixio 
 buffersize (8192B by default).
	
	<li>If the descriptor is non-blocking the iterator may fail with EAGAIN.
	
	<li>The iterator can be used as an LTN12 source.
	
</ul>


<h3>Return value:</h3>
Line-based Iterator


</dd>


<dt><a name="UnifiedIO.readall"></a><strong>UnifiedIO:readall</strong>&nbsp;(length)</dt>

<h3>Parameters</h3>
<ul>
	
	<li>
	  length: Bytes to read (optional)
	</li>
	
</ul>


<h3>Usage</h3>
<ul>
	
	<li>This function uses the low-level read function of the descriptor.
	
	<li>If the length parameter is omitted, this function returns all data 
 that can be read before an end-of-file, end-of-stream, connection shutdown 
 or similar happens.
	
	<li>If the descriptor is non-blocking this function may fail with EAGAIN.
	
</ul>


<h3>Return values:</h3>
<ol>
	
	<li>data that was successfully read if no error occurred
	
	<li>- reserved for error code -
	
	<li>- reserved for error message -
	
	<li>data that was successfully read even if an error occurred
	
</ol>


</dd>


<dt><a name="UnifiedIO.sink"></a><strong>UnifiedIO:sink</strong>&nbsp;(close_when_done)</dt>
<dd>

 Create a sink. 
 This sink will simply write all data that it receives and optionally 
 close the descriptor afterwards.


<h3>Parameters</h3>
<ul>
	
	<li>
	  close_when_done: (optional, boolean)
	</li>
	
</ul>


<h3>Usage</h3>
<ul>
	
	<li>This function uses the writeall function of the descriptor.
	
	<li>If the descriptor is non-blocking the sink may fail with EAGAIN.
	
	<li>The iterator can be used as an LTN12 sink.
	
</ul>


<h3>Return value:</h3>
Sink


</dd>


<dt><a name="UnifiedIO.writeall"></a><strong>UnifiedIO:writeall</strong>&nbsp;(block)</dt>
<dd>
