Involved Source Files Package saferio provides I/O functions that avoid allocating large amounts of memory unnecessarily. This is intended for packages that read data from an [io.Reader] where the size is part of the input data but the input may be corrupt, or may be provided by an untrustworthy attacker.
Package-Level Functions (total 4)
ReadData reads n bytes from the input stream, but avoids allocating all n bytes if n is large. This avoids crashing the program by allocating all n bytes in cases where n is incorrect. The error is io.EOF only if no bytes were read. If an io.EOF happens after reading some but not all the bytes, ReadData returns io.ErrUnexpectedEOF.
ReadDataAt reads n bytes from the input stream at off, but avoids allocating all n bytes if n is large. This avoids crashing the program by allocating all n bytes in cases where n is incorrect.
Type Parameters: E: any SliceCap is like SliceCapWithSize but using generics.
SliceCapWithSize returns the capacity to use when allocating a slice. After the slice is allocated with the capacity, it should be built using append. This will avoid allocating too much memory if the capacity is large and incorrect. A negative result means that the value is always too big.
