Trait Skip

pub trait Skip: Read {
    // Provided method
    fn skip(&mut self, len: usize) -> Result<(), Error> { ... }
}

A trait that allows for efficient skipping forward while reading data.

Provided Methods

fn skip(&mut self, len: usize) -> Result<(), Error>

Advance the cursor by len bytes.

If possible, the implementation should be more efficient than calling Read::read and discarding the resulting bytes.

Calling skip with a len that advances the cursor past the end of the underlying data source is permissible. The only requirement is that the next call to Read::read indicates EOF.

Errors

Can return an error in all the same cases that Read::read can.

TODO: Remove this clippy suppression when the issue is fixed. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/12519
