Methods
Close the stream and free associated resources. This also closes the underlying stream, if any.
Abstract unicode character input stream
@see nsIInputStream
Reads into a caller-provided character array.
@return The number of characters that were successfully read. May be less
than aCount, even if there is more data in the input stream.
A return value of 0 means EOF.
@note To read more than 2^32 characters, call this method multiple times.
Low-level read method that has access to the stream's underlying buffer. The writer function may be called multiple times for segmented buffers. ReadSegments is expected to keep calling the writer until either there is nothing left to read or the writer returns an error. ReadSegments should not call the writer with zero characters to consume. @param aWriter the "consumer" of the data to be read @param aClosure opaque parameter passed to writer @param aCount the maximum number of characters to be read @return number of characters read (may be less than aCount) @return 0 if reached end of file (or if aWriter refused to consume data) @throws NS_BASE_STREAM_WOULD_BLOCK if reading from the input stream would block the calling thread (non-blocking mode only) @throws <other-error> on failure NOTE: this function may be unimplemented if a stream has no underlying buffer
