Declaration

class BufferReader : public ICompressedReader { /* full declaration omitted */ };

Description

A "null" compressed reader that directly passes through uncompressed data. No internal buffers are allocated.

Methods

¶BufferReader()

Declared at: mcap/include/mcap/reader.hpp:142

¶BufferReader(const mcap::BufferReader&)

Declared at: mcap/include/mcap/reader.hpp:143

Parameters

const mcap::BufferReader&

¶BufferReader(mcap::BufferReader&&)

Declared at: mcap/include/mcap/reader.hpp:145

Parameters

mcap::BufferReader&&

¶uint64_t read(std::byte** output,
              uint64_t offset,
              uint64_t size)

Description

This method is called by MCAP reader classes when they need to read a portion of the file.

Declared at: mcap/include/mcap/reader.hpp:138

Parameters

std::byte** output

A pointer to a pointer to the buffer to write to. This method is expected to either maintain an internal buffer, read data into it, and update this pointer to point at the internal buffer, or update this pointer to point directly at the source data if possible. The pointer and data must remain valid and unmodified until the next call to read().

uint64_t offset

The offset in bytes from the beginning of the file to read.

uint64_t size

The number of bytes to read.

Returns

uint64_t Number of bytes actually read. This may be less than the requested size if the end of the file is reached. The output pointer must be readable from `output` to `output + size`. If the read fails, this method should return 0.

¶void reset(const std::byte* data,
           uint64_t size,
           uint64_t uncompressedSize)

Description

Reset the reader state, clearing any internal buffers and state, and initialize with new compressed data.

Declared at: mcap/include/mcap/reader.hpp:137

Parameters

const std::byte* data

Compressed data to read from.

uint64_t size

Size of the compressed data in bytes.

uint64_t uncompressedSize

Size of the data in bytes after decompression. A buffer of this size will be allocated for the uncompressed data.

¶uint64_t size() const

Description

Returns the size of the file in bytes.

Declared at: mcap/include/mcap/reader.hpp:139

Returns

uint64_t The total number of bytes in the MCAP file.

¶mcap::Status status() const

Description

Report the current status of decompression. A StatusCode other than `StatusCode::Success` after `reset()` is called indicates the decompression was not successful and the reader is in an invalid state.
