Module Tiny_httpd_io.Writer

A writer abstraction.

type t = {
  1. write : Output.t -> unit;
}

Writer.

A writer is a push-based stream of bytes. Give it an output channel and it will write the bytes in it.

This is useful for responses: an http endpoint can return a writer as its response's body, and output into it as if it were a regular out_channel, including controlling calls to flush.

val write : Output.t -> t -> unit

val empty : t

val of_string : string -> t

A writer that just emits the bytes from the given string.
