(** Byte streams.
Streams are used to represent a series of bytes that can arrive progressively.
For example, an uploaded file will be sent as a series of chunks.
These used to live in {!Tiny_httpd} but are now in their own module.

type t = {
mutable bs: bytes; (** The bytes *)

a call to {!fill}, then the stream is finished. *)

If [len=0] then there is no more data. *)

(** A buffered stream, with a view into the current buffer (or refill if empty),
and a function to consume [n] bytes.
The point of this type is that it gives the caller access to its internal buffer
([bs], with the slice [off,len]). This is convenient for things like line
reading where one needs to peek ahead.
Some core invariant for this type of stream are:
- [off,len] delimits a valid slice in [bs] (indices: [off, off+1, … off+len-1])
- if [fill_buf()] was just called, then either [len=0] which indicates the end
of stream; or [len>0] and the slice contains some data.
To actually move forward in the stream, you can call [consume n]
to consume [n] bytes (where [n <= len]). If [len] gets to [0], calling
[fill_buf()] is required, so it can try to obtain a new slice.
To emulate a classic OCaml reader with a [read: bytes -> int -> int -> int] function,
the simplest is:
{[
let read (self:t) buf offset max_len : int =
self.fill_buf();
let len = min max_len self.len in
if len > 0 then (
Bytes.blit self.bs self.off buf offset len;
self.consume len;
);
len
]}
