SliceStream

This subclass slices off a portion of another stream, making seeking relative to the boundaries of the slice.

It could be used to section a large file into a set of smaller files, such as with tar archives. Reading and writing a SliceStream does not modify the position of the source stream if it is seekable.

class SliceStream : FilterStream {

this(Stream s, ulong low);

this(Stream s, ulong low, ulong high);

size_t readBlock(void* buffer, size_t size);

size_t writeBlock(void* buffer, size_t size);

ulong seek(long offset, SeekPos rel);

size_t available [@property getter];

}

Constructors

this this(Stream s, ulong low): Indicate both the source stream to use for reading from and the low part of the slice.
this this(Stream s, ulong low, ulong high): Indicate the high index as well.
