package bytes

import "bytes"

Package bytes implements functions for the manipulation of byte slices. It is analogous to the facilities of the strings package.

Index

Examples

Constants

const MinRead = 512

MinRead is the minimum slice size passed to a Read call by Buffer.ReadFrom. As long as the Buffer has at least MinRead bytes beyond what is required to hold the contents of r, ReadFrom will not grow the underlying buffer.

Variables

var ErrTooLarge = errors.New("bytes.Buffer: too large")

ErrTooLarge is passed to panic if memory cannot be allocated to store data in a buffer.

Functions

func Clone

func Clone(b []byte) []byte

Clone returns a copy of b[:len(b)]. The result may have additional unused capacity. Clone(nil) returns nil.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	b := []byte("abc")
	clone := bytes.Clone(b)
	fmt.Printf("%s\n", clone)
	clone[0] = 'd'
	fmt.Printf("%s\n", b)
	fmt.Printf("%s\n", clone)
}

Output:

abc
abc
dbc

func Compare

func Compare(a, b []byte) int

Compare returns an integer comparing two byte slices lexicographically. The result will be 0 if a == b, -1 if a < b, and +1 if a > b. A nil argument is equivalent to an empty slice.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
)

func main() {
	// Interpret Compare's result by comparing it to zero.
	var a, b []byte
	if bytes.Compare(a, b) < 0 {
		// a less b
	}
	if bytes.Compare(a, b) <= 0 {
		// a less or equal b
	}
	if bytes.Compare(a, b) > 0 {
		// a greater b
	}
	if bytes.Compare(a, b) >= 0 {
		// a greater or equal b
	}

	// Prefer Equal to Compare for equality comparisons.
	if bytes.Equal(a, b) {
		// a equal b
	}
	if !bytes.Equal(a, b) {
		// a not equal b
	}
}

func Contains

func Contains(b, subslice []byte) bool

Contains reports whether subslice is within b.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(bytes.Contains([]byte("seafood"), []byte("foo")))
	fmt.Println(bytes.Contains([]byte("seafood"), []byte("bar")))
	fmt.Println(bytes.Contains([]byte("seafood"), []byte("")))
	fmt.Println(bytes.Contains([]byte(""), []byte("")))
}

Output:

true
false
true
true

func ContainsAny

func ContainsAny(b []byte, chars string) bool

ContainsAny reports whether any of the UTF-8-encoded code points in chars are within b.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsAny([]byte("I like seafood."), "fÄo!"))
	fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsAny([]byte("I like seafood."), "去是伟大的."))
	fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsAny([]byte("I like seafood."), ""))
	fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsAny([]byte(""), ""))
}

Output:

true
true
false
false

func ContainsFunc

func ContainsFunc(b []byte, f func(rune) bool) bool

ContainsFunc reports whether any of the UTF-8-encoded code points r within b satisfy f(r).

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	f := func(r rune) bool {
		return r >= 'a' && r <= 'z'
	}
	fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsFunc([]byte("HELLO"), f))
	fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsFunc([]byte("World"), f))
}

Output:

false
true

func ContainsRune

func ContainsRune(b []byte, r rune) bool

ContainsRune reports whether the rune is contained in the UTF-8-encoded byte slice b.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsRune([]byte("I like seafood."), 'f'))
	fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsRune([]byte("I like seafood."), 'ö'))
	fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsRune([]byte("去是伟大的!"), '大'))
	fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsRune([]byte("去是伟大的!"), '!'))
	fmt.Println(bytes.ContainsRune([]byte(""), '@'))
}

Output:

true
false
true
true
false

func Count

func Count(s, sep []byte) int

Count counts the number of non-overlapping instances of sep in s. If sep is an empty slice, Count returns 1 + the number of UTF-8-encoded code points in s.

package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(bytes.Count([]byte("cheese"), []byte("e")))

}

Output:

3
5

func Cut

func Cut(s, sep []byte) (before, after []byte, found bool)

Cut slices s around the first instance of sep, returning the text before and after sep. The found result reports whether sep appears in s. If sep does not appear in s, cut returns s, nil, false.

Cut returns slices of the original slice s, not copies.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {

	show("Gopher", "Badger")
}

Output:

Cut("Gopher", "Go") = "", "pher", true
Cut("Gopher", "ph") = "Go", "er", true
Cut("Gopher", "er") = "Goph", "", true
Cut("Gopher", "Badger") = "Gopher", "", false

func CutPrefix

func CutPrefix(s, prefix []byte) (after []byte, found bool)

CutPrefix returns s without the provided leading prefix byte slice and reports whether it found the prefix. If s doesn't start with prefix, CutPrefix returns s, false. If prefix is the empty byte slice, CutPrefix returns s, true.

CutPrefix returns slices of the original slice s, not copies.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	show := func(s, sep string) {
		after, found := bytes.CutPrefix([]byte(s), []byte(sep))
		fmt.Printf("CutPrefix(%q, %q) = %q, %v\n", s, sep, after, found)
	}
	show("Gopher", "Go")
	show("Gopher", "ph")
}

Output:

CutPrefix("Gopher", "Go") = "pher", true
CutPrefix("Gopher", "ph") = "Gopher", false

func CutSuffix

func CutSuffix(s, suffix []byte) (before []byte, found bool)

CutSuffix returns s without the provided ending suffix byte slice and reports whether it found the suffix. If s doesn't end with suffix, CutSuffix returns s, false. If suffix is the empty byte slice, CutSuffix returns s, true.

CutSuffix returns slices of the original slice s, not copies.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	show := func(s, sep string) {
		before, found := bytes.CutSuffix([]byte(s), []byte(sep))
		fmt.Printf("CutSuffix(%q, %q) = %q, %v\n", s, sep, before, found)
	}
	show("Gopher", "Go")
	show("Gopher", "er")
}

Output:

CutSuffix("Gopher", "Go") = "Gopher", false
CutSuffix("Gopher", "er") = "Goph", true

func Equal

func Equal(a, b []byte) bool

Equal reports whether a and b are the same length and contain the same bytes. A nil argument is equivalent to an empty slice.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(bytes.Equal([]byte("Go"), []byte("Go")))
	fmt.Println(bytes.Equal([]byte("Go"), []byte("C++")))
}

Output:

true
false

func EqualFold

func EqualFold(s, t []byte) bool

EqualFold reports whether s and t, interpreted as UTF-8 strings, are equal under simple Unicode case-folding, which is a more general form of case-insensitivity.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(bytes.EqualFold([]byte("Go"), []byte("go")))
}

Output:

true

func Fields

func Fields(s []byte) [][]byte

Fields interprets s as a sequence of UTF-8-encoded code points. It splits the slice s around each instance of one or more consecutive white space characters, as defined by unicode.IsSpace, returning a slice of subslices of s or an empty slice if s contains only white space.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("Fields are: %q", bytes.Fields([]byte("  foo bar  baz   ")))
}

Output:

Fields are: ["foo" "bar" "baz"]

func FieldsFunc

func FieldsFunc(s []byte, f func(rune) bool) [][]byte

FieldsFunc interprets s as a sequence of UTF-8-encoded code points. It splits the slice s at each run of code points c satisfying f(c) and returns a slice of subslices of s. If all code points in s satisfy f(c), or len(s) == 0, an empty slice is returned.

FieldsFunc makes no guarantees about the order in which it calls f(c) and assumes that f always returns the same value for a given c.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
	"unicode"
)

func main() {
	f := func(c rune) bool {
		return !unicode.IsLetter(c) && !unicode.IsNumber(c)
	}
	fmt.Printf("Fields are: %q", bytes.FieldsFunc([]byte("  foo1;bar2,baz3..."), f))
}

Output:

Fields are: ["foo1" "bar2" "baz3"]

func HasPrefix

}

Output:

true
false
true

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {

If old is empty, it matches at the beginning of the slice and after each UTF-8 sequence, yielding up to k+1 replacements for a k-rune slice. If n < 0, there is no limit on the number of replacements.

Example 
package main

}

Output:

["a," "b," "c"]

func SplitAfterN

func SplitAfterN(s, sep []byte, n int) [][]byte

SplitAfterN slices s into subslices after each instance of sep and returns a slice of those subslices. If sep is empty, SplitAfterN splits after each UTF-8 sequence. The count determines the number of subslices to return: 

n > 0: at most n subslices; the last subslice will be the unsplit remainder.
n == 0: the result is nil (zero subslices)
n < 0: all subslices
Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("%q\n", bytes.SplitAfterN([]byte("a,b,c"), []byte(","), 2))
}

Output:

["a," "b,c"]

func SplitN

func SplitN(s, sep []byte, n int) [][]byte

n > 0: at most n subslices; the last subslice will be the unsplit remainder.
n == 0: the result is nil (zero subslices)
n < 0: all subslices

To split around the first instance of a separator, see Cut.

	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("%s\n", bytes.ToValidUTF8([]byte("abc"), []byte("\uFFFD")))
	fmt.Printf("%s\n", bytes.ToValidUTF8([]byte("a\xffb\xC0\xAFc\xff"), []byte("")))
	fmt.Printf("%s\n", bytes.ToValidUTF8([]byte("\xed\xa0\x80"), []byte("abc")))
}

Output:

abc
abc
abc

func Trim

func Trim(s []byte, cutset string) []byte

Trim returns a subslice of s by slicing off all leading and trailing UTF-8-encoded code points contained in cutset.

Example 
package main

}

Output:

-gopher
go-gopher!
go-gopher!567

func TrimPrefix

func TrimPrefix(s, prefix []byte) []byte

TrimPrefix returns s without the provided leading prefix string. If s doesn't start with prefix, s is returned unchanged.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	var b = []byte("Goodbye,, world!")
	b = bytes.TrimPrefix(b, []byte("Goodbye,"))
	b = bytes.TrimPrefix(b, []byte("See ya,"))
	fmt.Printf("Hello%s", b)
}

Output:

Hello, world!

func TrimRight(s []byte, cutset string) []byte

TrimRight returns a subslice of s by slicing off all trailing UTF-8-encoded code points that are contained in cutset.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"

func TrimSpace(s []byte) []byte

TrimSpace returns a subslice of s by slicing off all leading and trailing white space, as defined by Unicode.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Printf("%s", bytes.TrimSpace([]byte(" \t\n a lone gopher \n\t\r\n")))
}

func TrimSuffix

func TrimSuffix(s, suffix []byte) []byte

TrimSuffix returns s without the provided trailing suffix string. If s doesn't end with suffix, s is returned unchanged.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"

Types

type Buffer

type Buffer struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A Buffer is a variable-sized buffer of bytes with Buffer.Read and Buffer.Write methods. The zero value for Buffer is an empty buffer ready to use.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	var b bytes.Buffer // A Buffer needs no initialization.
	b.Write([]byte("Hello "))
	fmt.Fprintf(&b, "world!")
	b.WriteTo(os.Stdout)
}

Output:

Hello world!
Example (Reader) 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"encoding/base64"
	"io"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	// A Buffer can turn a string or a []byte into an io.Reader.
	buf := bytes.NewBufferString("R29waGVycyBydWxlIQ==")
	dec := base64.NewDecoder(base64.StdEncoding, buf)
	io.Copy(os.Stdout, dec)
}

Output:

Gophers rule!

func NewBuffer

func NewBuffer(buf []byte) *Buffer

NewBuffer creates and initializes a new Buffer using buf as its initial contents. The new Buffer takes ownership of buf, and the caller should not use buf after this call. NewBuffer is intended to prepare a Buffer to read existing data. It can also be used to set the initial size of the internal buffer for writing. To do that, buf should have the desired capacity but a length of zero.

In most cases, new(Buffer) (or just declaring a Buffer variable) is sufficient to initialize a Buffer.

func NewBufferString

func NewBufferString(s string) *Buffer

NewBufferString creates and initializes a new Buffer using string s as its initial contents. It is intended to prepare a buffer to read an existing string.

In most cases, new(Buffer) (or just declaring a Buffer variable) is sufficient to initialize a Buffer.

func (*Buffer) Available

func (b *Buffer) Available() int

Available returns how many bytes are unused in the buffer.

func (*Buffer) AvailableBuffer

func (b *Buffer) AvailableBuffer() []byte

AvailableBuffer returns an empty buffer with b.Available() capacity. This buffer is intended to be appended to and passed to an immediately succeeding Buffer.Write call. The buffer is only valid until the next write operation on b.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"os"
	"strconv"
)

func main() {
	var buf bytes.Buffer
	for i := 0; i < 4; i++ {
		b := buf.AvailableBuffer()
		b = strconv.AppendInt(b, int64(i), 10)
		b = append(b, ' ')
		buf.Write(b)
	}
	os.Stdout.Write(buf.Bytes())
}

Output:

0 1 2 3

func (*Buffer) Bytes

func (b *Buffer) Bytes() []byte

Bytes returns a slice of length b.Len() holding the unread portion of the buffer. The slice is valid for use only until the next buffer modification (that is, only until the next call to a method like Buffer.Read, Buffer.Write, Buffer.Reset, or Buffer.Truncate). The slice aliases the buffer content at least until the next buffer modification, so immediate changes to the slice will affect the result of future reads.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"os"
)

func main() {
	buf := bytes.Buffer{}
	buf.Write([]byte{'h', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o', ' ', 'w', 'o', 'r', 'l', 'd'})
	os.Stdout.Write(buf.Bytes())
}

Output:

hello world

func (*Buffer) Cap

func (b *Buffer) Cap() int

Cap returns the capacity of the buffer's underlying byte slice, that is, the total space allocated for the buffer's data.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	buf1 := bytes.NewBuffer(make([]byte, 10))
	buf2 := bytes.NewBuffer(make([]byte, 0, 10))
	fmt.Println(buf1.Cap())
	fmt.Println(buf2.Cap())
}

Output:

10
10

func (*Buffer) Grow

func (b *Buffer) Grow(n int)

Grow grows the buffer's capacity, if necessary, to guarantee space for another n bytes. After Grow(n), at least n bytes can be written to the buffer without another allocation. If n is negative, Grow will panic. If the buffer can't grow it will panic with ErrTooLarge.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	var b bytes.Buffer
	b.Grow(64)
	bb := b.Bytes()
	b.Write([]byte("64 bytes or fewer"))
	fmt.Printf("%q", bb[:b.Len()])
}

Output:

"64 bytes or fewer"

func (*Buffer) Len

func (b *Buffer) Len() int

Len returns the number of bytes of the unread portion of the buffer; b.Len() == len(b.Bytes()).

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	var b bytes.Buffer
	b.Grow(64)
	b.Write([]byte("abcde"))
	fmt.Printf("%d", b.Len())
}

Output:

5

func (*Buffer) Next

func (b *Buffer) Next(n int) []byte

Next returns a slice containing the next n bytes from the buffer, advancing the buffer as if the bytes had been returned by Buffer.Read. If there are fewer than n bytes in the buffer, Next returns the entire buffer. The slice is only valid until the next call to a read or write method.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	var b bytes.Buffer
	b.Grow(64)
	b.Write([]byte("abcde"))
	fmt.Printf("%s\n", b.Next(2))
	fmt.Printf("%s\n", b.Next(2))
	fmt.Printf("%s", b.Next(2))
}

Output:

ab
cd
e

func (*Buffer) Read

func (b *Buffer) Read(p []byte) (n int, err error)

Read reads the next len(p) bytes from the buffer or until the buffer is drained. The return value n is the number of bytes read. If the buffer has no data to return, err is io.EOF (unless len(p) is zero); otherwise it is nil.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	var b bytes.Buffer
	b.Grow(64)
	b.Write([]byte("abcde"))
	rdbuf := make([]byte, 1)
	n, err := b.Read(rdbuf)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Println(n)
	fmt.Println(b.String())
	fmt.Println(string(rdbuf))
	// Output
	// 1
	// bcde
	// a
}

func (*Buffer) ReadByte

func (b *Buffer) ReadByte() (byte, error)

ReadByte reads and returns the next byte from the buffer. If no byte is available, it returns error io.EOF.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	var b bytes.Buffer
	b.Grow(64)
	b.Write([]byte("abcde"))
	c, err := b.ReadByte()
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	fmt.Println(c)
	fmt.Println(b.String())
	// Output
	// 97
	// bcde
}

func (*Buffer) ReadBytes

func (b *Buffer) ReadBytes(delim byte) (line []byte, err error)

ReadBytes reads until the first occurrence of delim in the input, returning a slice containing the data up to and including the delimiter. If ReadBytes encounters an error before finding a delimiter, it returns the data read before the error and the error itself (often io.EOF). ReadBytes returns err != nil if and only if the returned data does not end in delim.

func (*Buffer) ReadFrom

func (b *Buffer) ReadFrom(r io.Reader) (n int64, err error)

ReadFrom reads data from r until EOF and appends it to the buffer, growing the buffer as needed. The return value n is the number of bytes read. Any error except io.EOF encountered during the read is also returned. If the buffer becomes too large, ReadFrom will panic with ErrTooLarge.

func (*Buffer) ReadRune

func (b *Buffer) ReadRune() (r rune, size int, err error)

ReadRune reads and returns the next UTF-8-encoded Unicode code point from the buffer. If no bytes are available, the error returned is io.EOF. If the bytes are an erroneous UTF-8 encoding, it consumes one byte and returns U+FFFD, 1.

func (*Buffer) ReadString

func (b *Buffer) ReadString(delim byte) (line string, err error)

ReadString reads until the first occurrence of delim in the input, returning a string containing the data up to and including the delimiter. If ReadString encounters an error before finding a delimiter, it returns the data read before the error and the error itself (often io.EOF). ReadString returns err != nil if and only if the returned data does not end in delim.

func (*Buffer) Reset

func (b *Buffer) Reset()

Reset resets the buffer to be empty, but it retains the underlying storage for use by future writes. Reset is the same as Buffer.Truncate(0).

func (*Buffer) String

func (b *Buffer) String() string

String returns the contents of the unread portion of the buffer as a string. If the Buffer is a nil pointer, it returns "<nil>".

To build strings more efficiently, see the strings.Builder type.

func (*Buffer) Truncate

func (b *Buffer) Truncate(n int)

Truncate discards all but the first n unread bytes from the buffer but continues to use the same allocated storage. It panics if n is negative or greater than the length of the buffer.

func (*Buffer) UnreadByte

func (b *Buffer) UnreadByte() error

UnreadByte unreads the last byte returned by the most recent successful read operation that read at least one byte. If a write has happened since the last read, if the last read returned an error, or if the read read zero bytes, UnreadByte returns an error.

func (*Buffer) UnreadRune

func (b *Buffer) UnreadRune() error

UnreadRune unreads the last rune returned by Buffer.ReadRune. If the most recent read or write operation on the buffer was not a successful Buffer.ReadRune, UnreadRune returns an error. (In this regard it is stricter than Buffer.UnreadByte, which will unread the last byte from any read operation.)

func (*Buffer) Write

func (b *Buffer) Write(p []byte) (n int, err error)

Write appends the contents of p to the buffer, growing the buffer as needed. The return value n is the length of p; err is always nil. If the buffer becomes too large, Write will panic with ErrTooLarge.

func (*Buffer) WriteByte

func (b *Buffer) WriteByte(c byte) error

WriteByte appends the byte c to the buffer, growing the buffer as needed. The returned error is always nil, but is included to match bufio.Writer's WriteByte. If the buffer becomes too large, WriteByte will panic with ErrTooLarge.

func (*Buffer) WriteRune

func (b *Buffer) WriteRune(r rune) (n int, err error)

WriteRune appends the UTF-8 encoding of Unicode code point r to the buffer, returning its length and an error, which is always nil but is included to match bufio.Writer's WriteRune. The buffer is grown as needed; if it becomes too large, WriteRune will panic with ErrTooLarge.

func (*Buffer) WriteString

func (b *Buffer) WriteString(s string) (n int, err error)

WriteString appends the contents of s to the buffer, growing the buffer as needed. The return value n is the length of s; err is always nil. If the buffer becomes too large, WriteString will panic with ErrTooLarge.

func (*Buffer) WriteTo

func (b *Buffer) WriteTo(w io.Writer) (n int64, err error)

WriteTo writes data to w until the buffer is drained or an error occurs. The return value n is the number of bytes written; it always fits into an int, but it is int64 to match the io.WriterTo interface. Any error encountered during the write is also returned.

type Reader

type Reader struct {
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

A Reader implements the io.Reader, io.ReaderAt, io.WriterTo, io.Seeker, io.ByteScanner, and io.RuneScanner interfaces by reading from a byte slice. Unlike a Buffer, a Reader is read-only and supports seeking. The zero value for Reader operates like a Reader of an empty slice.

func NewReader

func NewReader(b []byte) *Reader

NewReader returns a new [Reader.Reader] reading from b.

func (*Reader) Len

func (r *Reader) Len() int

Len returns the number of bytes of the unread portion of the slice.

Example 
package main

import (
	"bytes"
	"fmt"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(bytes.NewReader([]byte("Hi!")).Len())
	fmt.Println(bytes.NewReader([]byte("こんにちは!")).Len())
}

Output:

3
16

Read implements the io.Reader interface.

func (*Reader) ReadAt

func (r *Reader) ReadAt(b []byte, off int64) (n int, err error)

ReadAt implements the io.ReaderAt interface.

func (*Reader) ReadByte

func (r *Reader) ReadByte() (byte, error)

ReadByte implements the io.ByteReader interface.

func (*Reader) ReadRune

func (r *Reader) ReadRune() (ch rune, size int, err error)

ReadRune implements the io.RuneReader interface.

func (*Reader) Reset

func (r *Reader) Reset(b []byte)

Reset resets the [Reader.Reader] to be reading from b.

func (*Reader) Seek

func (r *Reader) Seek(offset int64, whence int) (int64, error)

Seek implements the io.Seeker interface.

func (*Reader) Size

func (r *Reader) Size() int64

Size returns the original length of the underlying byte slice. Size is the number of bytes available for reading via Reader.ReadAt. The result is unaffected by any method calls except Reader.Reset.

func (*Reader) UnreadByte

func (r *Reader) UnreadByte() error

UnreadByte complements Reader.ReadByte in implementing the io.ByteScanner interface.

func (*Reader) UnreadRune

func (r *Reader) UnreadRune() error

UnreadRune complements Reader.ReadRune in implementing the io.RuneScanner interface.

func (*Reader) WriteTo

func (r *Reader) WriteTo(w io.Writer) (n int64, err error)

WriteTo implements the io.WriterTo interface.
