bufio Module Documentation

The bufio module provides functions for buffered I/O operations, particularly useful for reading input from standard input (stdin).

Functions

readline()

Reads a line of text from standard input until a newline character ("\n") is encountered.

readstring(delimiter)

Reads a string from standard input until the specified delimiter character is encountered.

• delimiter: Delimiter character to stop reading the string.

readbytes(num_bytes)

Reads a specified number of bytes from standard input.

• num_bytes: Number of bytes to read.

Example Usage

import "bufio"

line := bufio.readline()
println("Line read:", line)

// Read a string until a specific delimiter character
delimiter := "\n"
string_input := bufio.readstring(delimiter)
println("String read until delimiter:", string_input)

// Read a specified number of bytes
num_bytes := 10
bytes_read := bufio.readbytes(num_bytes)
println("Bytes read:", bytes_read)
