# Class Netchannels.input_channel

    class input_channel : ?onclose:unit -> unit -> Stdlib.in_channel -> in_obj_channel

Creates an input channel from an `in_channel`, which must be open.

The method `pos_in` reflects the real position in the channel as returned by `Pervasives.pos_in`. This works for both seekable and non-seekable channels.

The method `close_in` also closes the underlying `in_channel`.

The function `onclose` is called after the `in_channel` has been closed.
