Read typeclass.
A class of readable values. It is rarely needed to use this module directly, as it is used for implementing new readers, i.e., new protocols. If you are looking for the IO functions available for a type, then look at the Data.S interface.
type 'a t = 'a readerreadable
val create :
?of_channel:(Core_kernel.In_channel.t -> 'a) ->
?of_lexbuf:(lexbuf -> 'a) ->
?of_scanbuf:(scanbuf -> 'a) ->
?of_bigstring:(Core_kernel.bigstring -> 'a) ->
?of_bytes:(bytes -> 'a) ->
unit ->
'a tA minimal complete definition is any method except of_channel (that is not sufficient).
If a class is defined only with from_bigstring or from_bytes then from_channel function will consume all input and pass it to the correspondings function.
val of_channel : 'a t -> Core_kernel.In_channel.t -> 'aof_channel readable channel inputs a value from a channel. If of_channel function wasn't provided when readable was created, then the whole content of the In_channel.t is read into an intermediate buffer, that is later read. Any leftover bytes are discarded.
val of_bigstring : 'a t -> Core_kernel.bigstring -> 'aof_bigstring readable buf deserializes a readable value from the bigstring.
