{charbuf-scanner-map @<scanner> @<func> \&optional @<fail>
- \nlret @<result> @<successp> @<consumedp>}
+ \nlret @<result> @<success-flag> @<consumed-flag>}
Read characters from the @<scanner>'s buffers.
This is intended to be an efficient and versatile interface for reading
characters from a scanner in bulk. The function @<func> is invoked
repeatedly, as if by
\begin{prog}
- (multiple-value-bind (@<donep> @<used>) \\ \ind\ind
- (funcall @<func> @<buf> @<start> @<end>) \- \\
+ (multiple-value-bind (@<donep> @<used>) \\ \ind\ind
+ (funcall @<func> @<buf> @<start> @<end>) \-\\
\textrm\ldots)
\end{prog}
The argument @<buf> is a simple string; @<start> and @<end> are two
@<start> (inclusive) and @<end> (exclusive) should be processed. If
@<func>'s return value @<donep> is nil then @<used> is ignored: the
function has consumed the entire buffer and wishes to read more. If
- @<donep> is non-nil, then it must be a fixnum such that $@<start> \le
+ @<donep> is non-nil, then @<used> must be a fixnum such that $@<start> \le
@<used> \le @<end>$: the function has consumed the buffer as far as @<used>
(exclusive) and has completed successfully.
fails: the @<fail> function is called with no arguments, and is expected to
return two values. If omitted, @<fail> defaults to
\begin{prog}
- (lambda () \\ \ind
- (values nil nil))%
+ (lambda () \\ \ind
+ (values nil nil))
\end{prog}
The @|charbuf-scanner-map| function returns three values. The first value
at least once, or with $@<used> > @<start>$.
