# 1.0.0[−][src]Struct std::io::Take

    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]

#### `pub fn limit(&self) -> u64`[src]

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;

    fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
        let f = File::open("foo.txt")?;

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

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

#### `pub fn set_limit(&mut self, limit: u64)`
1.27.0
[src]

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

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

    fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
        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);
        Ok(())
    }Run

#### `pub fn into_inner(self) -> T`
1.15.0
[src]

Consumes the `Take`, returning the wrapped reader.

# Examples

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

    fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
        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();
        Ok(())
    }Run

Gets a reference to the underlying reader.

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

`pub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> &mut T`
1.20.0
[src]

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;

    fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
        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();
        Ok(())
    }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`)

Search multiple things at once by splitting your query with comma (e.g., `str,u8` or `String,struct:Vec,test`)
