Package io provides basic interfaces to I/O primitives.
Its primary job is to wrap existing implementations of such primitives,
such as those in package os, into shared public interfaces that
abstract the functionality, plus some other related primitives.
</p>
<p>
Because these interfaces and primitives wrap lower-level operations with
various implementations, unless otherwise informed clients should not
assume they are safe for parallel execution.

In the call graph viewer below, each node
is a function belonging to this package
and its children are the functions it
calls&mdash;perhaps dynamically.
</p>
<p>
The root nodes are the entry points of the
package: functions that may be called from
outside the package.
There may be non-exported or anonymous
functions among them if they are called
dynamically from another package.
</p>
<p>
Click a node to visit that function's source code.
From there you can visit its callers by
clicking its declaring <code>func</code>
token.

<pre>var <span id="EOF">EOF</span> = <a href="../errors/index.html">errors</a>.<a href="../errors/index.html#New">New</a>(&#34;EOF&#34;)</pre>
<p>
EOF is the error returned by Read when no more input is available.
Functions should return EOF only to signal a graceful end of input.
If the EOF occurs unexpectedly in a structured data stream,
the appropriate error is either ErrUnexpectedEOF or some other error
giving more detail.
</p>
<pre>var <span id="ErrClosedPipe">ErrClosedPipe</span> = <a href="../errors/index.html">errors</a>.<a href="../errors/index.html#New">New</a>(&#34;io: read/write on closed pipe&#34;)</pre>

ErrClosedPipe is the error used for read or write operations on a closed pipe.

<p>
ErrNoProgress is returned by some clients of an io.Reader when
many calls to Read have failed to return any data or error,
usually the sign of a broken io.Reader implementation.
</p>
<pre>var <span id="ErrShortBuffer">ErrShortBuffer</span> = <a href="../errors/index.html">errors</a>.<a href="../errors/index.html#New">New</a>(&#34;short buffer&#34;)</pre>
<p>
ErrShortBuffer means that a read required a longer buffer than was provided.
</p>
<pre>var <span id="ErrShortWrite">ErrShortWrite</span> = <a href="../errors/index.html">errors</a>.<a href="../errors/index.html#New">New</a>(&#34;short write&#34;)</pre>
<p>
ErrShortWrite means that a write accepted fewer bytes than requested
but failed to return an explicit error.
</p>
<pre>var <span id="ErrUnexpectedEOF">ErrUnexpectedEOF</span> = <a href="../errors/index.html">errors</a>.<a href="../errors/index.html#New">New</a>(&#34;unexpected EOF&#34;)</pre>
<p>
ErrUnexpectedEOF means that EOF was encountered in the
middle of reading a fixed-size block or data structure.

<h2 id="Copy">func <a href="http://localhost:6060/src/io/io.go?s=12235:12295#L339">Copy</a></h2>

<p>
Copy copies from src to dst until either EOF is reached
on src or an error occurs. It returns the number of bytes
copied and the first error encountered while copying, if any.
</p>
<p>
A successful Copy returns err == nil, not err == EOF.
Because Copy is defined to read from src until EOF, it does
not treat an EOF from Read as an error to be reported.
</p>
<p>
If src implements the WriterTo interface,
the copy is implemented by calling src.WriteTo(dst).
Otherwise, if dst implements the ReaderFrom interface,
the copy is implemented by calling dst.ReadFrom(src).

<p>
CopyBuffer is identical to Copy except that it stages through the
provided buffer (if one is required) rather than allocating a
temporary one. If buf is nil, one is allocated; otherwise if it has
zero length, CopyBuffer panics.

CopyN copies n bytes (or until an error) from src to dst.
It returns the number of bytes copied and the earliest

<p>
ReadAtLeast reads from r into buf until it has read at least min bytes.
It returns the number of bytes copied and an error if fewer bytes were read.
The error is EOF only if no bytes were read.
If an EOF happens after reading fewer than min bytes,
ReadAtLeast returns ErrUnexpectedEOF.

ReadFull reads exactly len(buf) bytes from r into buf.
It returns the number of bytes copied and an error if fewer bytes were read.

<p>
Pipe creates a synchronous in-memory pipe.
It can be used to connect code expecting an io.Reader
with code expecting an io.Writer.
Reads on one end are matched with writes on the other,
copying data directly between the two; there is no internal buffering.
It is safe to call Read and Write in parallel with each other or with
Close. Close will complete once pending I/O is done. Parallel calls to
Read, and parallel calls to Write, are also safe:
the individual calls will be gated sequentially.

}</pre>
<p>
Reader is the interface that wraps the basic Read method.
</p>
<p>
Read reads up to len(p) bytes into p. It returns the number of bytes
read (0 &lt;= n &lt;= len(p)) and any error encountered. Even if Read
returns n &lt; len(p), it may use all of p as scratch space during the call.
If some data is available but not len(p) bytes, Read conventionally
returns what is available instead of waiting for more.
</p>
<p>
When Read encounters an error or end-of-file condition after
successfully reading n &gt; 0 bytes, it returns the number of
bytes read. It may return the (non-nil) error from the same call
or return the error (and n == 0) from a subsequent call.
An instance of this general case is that a Reader returning
a non-zero number of bytes at the end of the input stream may
return either err == EOF or err == nil. The next Read should
return 0, EOF.
</p>
<p>
Callers should always process the n &gt; 0 bytes returned before
considering the error err. Doing so correctly handles I/O errors
that happen after reading some bytes and also both of the
allowed EOF behaviors.
</p>
<p>
Implementations of Read are discouraged from returning a
zero byte count with a nil error, except when len(p) == 0.
Callers should treat a return of 0 and nil as indicating that
nothing happened; in particular it does not indicate EOF.
</p>
<p>
Implementations must not retain p.

}</pre>
<p>
ReaderAt is the interface that wraps the basic ReadAt method.
</p>
<p>
ReadAt reads len(p) bytes into p starting at offset off in the
underlying input source. It returns the number of bytes
read (0 &lt;= n &lt;= len(p)) and any error encountered.
</p>
<p>
When ReadAt returns n &lt; len(p), it returns a non-nil error
explaining why more bytes were not returned. In this respect,
ReadAt is stricter than Read.
</p>
<p>
Even if ReadAt returns n &lt; len(p), it may use all of p as scratch
space during the call. If some data is available but not len(p) bytes,
ReadAt blocks until either all the data is available or an error occurs.
In this respect ReadAt is different from Read.
</p>
<p>
If the n = len(p) bytes returned by ReadAt are at the end of the
input source, ReadAt may return either err == EOF or err == nil.
</p>
<p>
If ReadAt is reading from an input source with a seek offset,
ReadAt should not affect nor be affected by the underlying
seek offset.
</p>
<p>
Clients of ReadAt can execute parallel ReadAt calls on the
same input source.

Implementations must not retain p.

<p>
RuneReader is the interface that wraps the ReadRune method.

Seek sets the offset for the next Read or Write to offset,

<p>
WriterAt is the interface that wraps the basic WriteAt method.
</p>
<p>
WriteAt writes len(p) bytes from p to the underlying data stream
at offset off. It returns the number of bytes written from p (0 &lt;= n &lt;= len(p))
and any error encountered that caused the write to stop early.
WriteAt must return a non-nil error if it returns n &lt; len(p).
</p>
<p>
If WriteAt is writing to a destination with a seek offset,
WriteAt should not affect nor be affected by the underlying
seek offset.
</p>
<p>
Clients of WriteAt can execute parallel WriteAt calls on the same
destination if the ranges do not overlap.
</p>
<p>
Implementations must not retain p.

<h2 id="WriterTo">type <a href="http://localhost:6060/src/io/io.go?s=6161:6228#L162">WriterTo</a></h2>
<pre>type WriterTo interface {
WriteTo(w <a href="index.html#Writer">Writer</a>) (n <a href="../builtin/index.html#int64">int64</a>, err <a href="../builtin/index.html#error">error</a>)
}</pre>
<p>
WriterTo is the interface that wraps the WriteTo method.
</p>
<p>
WriteTo writes data to w until there&#39;s no more data to write or
when an error occurs. The return value n is the number of bytes
written. Any error encountered during the write is also returned.
</p>
<p>
The Copy function uses WriterTo if available.
