| Description: | The io-streams library contains simple and easy-to-use primitives for I/O using
streams. Most users will want to import the top-level convenience module
"System.IO.Streams", which re-exports most of the library:
For first-time users, 'io-streams' comes with an included tutorial, which can
be found in the "System.IO.Streams.Tutorial" module.
'io-streams' comes with:
* functions to use files, handles, concurrent channels, sockets, lists,
vectors, and more as streams.
* a variety of combinators for wrapping and transforming streams, including
compression and decompression using zlib, controlling precisely how many bytes
are read from or written to a stream, buffering output using bytestring
builders, folds, maps, filters, zips, etc.
* support for parsing from streams using 'attoparsec'.
* support for spawning processes and communicating with them using streams. |
