// StreamInterface is a generic asynchronous stream interface, supporting read,

// mind.  Some implementations offer extended operations, such as seeking.
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////

// The following enumerations are declared outside of the StreamInterface
// class for brevity in use.

// The SS_OPENING state indicates that the stream will signal open or closed
// in the future.

// Stream read/write methods return this value to indicate various success
// and failure conditions described below.
enum StreamResult { SR_ERROR, SR_SUCCESS, SR_BLOCK, SR_EOS };

// StreamEvents are used to asynchronously signal state transitionss.  The flags
// may be combined.
//  SE_OPEN: The stream has transitioned to the SS_OPEN state
//  SE_CLOSE: The stream has transitioned to the SS_CLOSED state
//  SE_READ: Data is available, so Read is likely to not return SR_BLOCK
//  SE_WRITE: Data can be written, so Write is likely to not return SR_BLOCK

  //  SR_ERROR: an error occurred, which is returned in a non-null error

  //  SR_SUCCESS: some number of bytes were successfully written, which is
  //    returned in a non-null read/write argument.

  // OPTIONAL OPERATIONS
  //
  // Not all implementations will support the following operations.  In general,
  // a stream will only support an operation if it reasonably efficient to do
  // so.  For example, while a socket could buffer incoming data to support
  // seeking, it will not do so.  Instead, a buffering stream adapter should
  // be used.
  //
  // Even though several of these operations are related, you should
  // always use whichever operation is most relevant.  For example, you may
  // be tempted to use GetSize() and GetPosition() to deduce the result of
  // GetAvailable().  However, a stream which is read-once may support the
  // latter operation but not the former.
  //

  // The following four methods are used to avoid coping data multiple times.

  // GetReadData returns a pointer to a buffer which is owned by the stream.
  // The buffer contains data_len bytes.  NULL is returned if no data is
  // available, or if the method fails.  If the caller processes the data, it
  // must call ConsumeReadData with the number of processed bytes.  GetReadData
  // does not require a matching call to ConsumeReadData if the data is not
  // processed.  Read and ConsumeReadData invalidate the buffer returned by
  // GetReadData.
  virtual const void* GetReadData(size_t* data_len) { return NULL; }

  // GetWriteBuffer returns a pointer to a buffer which is owned by the stream.
  // The buffer has a capacity of buf_len bytes.  NULL is returned if there is
  // no buffer available, or if the method fails.  The call may write data to
  // the buffer, and then call ConsumeWriteBuffer with the number of bytes
  // written.  GetWriteBuffer does not require a matching call to
  // ConsumeWriteData if no data is written.  Write, ForceWrite, and
  // ConsumeWriteData invalidate the buffer returned by GetWriteBuffer.
  // TODO: Allow the caller to specify a minimum buffer size.  If the specified
  // amount of buffer is not yet available, return NULL and Signal SE_WRITE
  // when it is available.  If the requested amount is too large, return an
  // error.
  virtual void* GetWriteBuffer(size_t* buf_len) { return NULL; }
  virtual void ConsumeWriteBuffer(size_t used) {}

  // Write data_len bytes found in data, circumventing any throttling which
  // would could cause SR_BLOCK to be returned.  Returns true if all the data
  // was written.  Otherwise, the method is unsupported, or an unrecoverable
  // error occurred, and the error value is set.  This method should be used
  // sparingly to write critical data which should not be throttled.  A stream
  // which cannot circumvent its blocking constraints should not implement this

  // soft limits in writing.

  //  if (error) *error = -1;
  //  return false;

  // the stream does not support seeking, or cannot seek to the specified
  // position.

// to sink.  Alternately, if source returns SR_BLOCK or SR_ERROR, or if sink
// returns SR_BLOCK, SR_ERROR, or SR_EOS, then the function immediately returns
// with the unexpected StreamResult value.
// data_len is the length of the valid data in buffer. in case of error
// this is the data that read from source but can't move to destination.
// as a pass in parameter, it indicates data in buffer that should move to sink
