# Struct std::io::Chain 1.0.0 [−] [src]

    pub struct Chain<T, U> { /* fields omitted */ }

Adaptor to chain together two readers.

This struct is generally created by calling `chain` on a reader. Please see the documentation of `chain` for more details.

## Methods

###

`impl<T, U> Chain<T, U>`

[src]

####

`pub fn into_inner(self) -> (T, U)`

1.20.0
[src]

Consumes the `Chain`, returning the wrapped readers.

# Examples

    use std::io;
    use std::io::prelude::*;
    use std::fs::File;

    fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
        let mut foo_file = File::open("foo.txt")?;
        let mut bar_file = File::open("bar.txt")?;

        let chain = foo_file.chain(bar_file);
        let (foo_file, bar_file) = chain.into_inner();
        Ok(())
    }Run

####

`pub fn get_ref(&self) -> (&T, &U)`

1.20.0
[src]

Gets references to the underlying readers in this `Chain`.

# Examples

    use std::io;
    use std::io::prelude::*;
    use std::fs::File;

    fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
        let mut foo_file = File::open("foo.txt")?;
        let mut bar_file = File::open("bar.txt")?;

        let chain = foo_file.chain(bar_file);
        let (foo_file, bar_file) = chain.get_ref();
        Ok(())
    }Run

####

`pub fn get_mut(&mut self) -> (&mut T, &mut U)`

1.20.0
[src]

Gets mutable references to the underlying readers in this `Chain`.

Care should be taken to avoid modifying the internal I/O state of the underlying readers as doing so may corrupt the internal state of this `Chain`.

# Examples

    use std::io;
    use std::io::prelude::*;
    use std::fs::File;

    fn main() -> io::Result<()> {
        let mut foo_file = File::open("foo.txt")?;
        let mut bar_file = File::open("bar.txt")?;

        let mut chain = foo_file.chain(bar_file);
        let (foo_file, bar_file) = chain.get_mut();
        Ok(())
    }Run

## Search Tricks

Prefix searches with a type followed by a colon (e.g. `fn:`) to restrict the search to a given type.

Accepted types are: `fn`, `mod`, `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `type`, `macro`, and `const`.

Search functions by type signature (e.g. `vec -> usize` or `* -> vec`)
