bufpipe

Buffered version of io.Pipe, it implements the same interface, but has internal buffer. This is useful if:

• writer produces data in bursts and reader should read at steady rate
• writer should not get blocked by slow reader

Example

import "github.com/illarion/bufpipe"

...
maxSize = 1024 * 1024

r, w := bufpipe.Pipe(maxSize)
w.Write(...)
r.Read(...)

Errors

ErrBufferFull - returned when reader is slower than writer and there is no place to write ErrClosedPipe - returned if either reader or writer side is closed.
