The EscapedRd interface provides a subclass of Rd.T which
decodes the record-oriented stream produced by an EscapedWr.T. See
that interface for details of the protocol.
INTERFACE EscapedRd;
IMPORT Atom, Rd;
TYPE
T <: Public;
Public = Rd.T OBJECT METHODS
init(rd: Rd.T;
maxChildRead: CARDINAL := LAST(CARDINAL);
closeChild: BOOLEAN := TRUE): T;
END;
The optional parameter maxChildRead may be used to limit the
amount of read-ahead done on the child when filling the buffer.
That sacrifices some efficiency, but it tightens the relationship
between the number of bytes read from the parent and the number
of bytes read from the child. (It is useful when statistics
are being gathered.)
If closeChild is TRUE (the default), then closing the escaped
reader will also cause the child reader to be closed. If it is
FALSE, then the child reader will be left open.
VAR (* CONST *)
InvalidEscape: Atom.T;
PrematureEOF: Atom.T;
If the escaped reader detects a violation of the protocol, it raises
Rd.Failure with an error list containing InvalidEscape or
PrematureEOF.
END EscapedRd.
