# Struct std::io::Initializer [−] [src]

    pub struct Initializer(_);

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`read_initializer` #42788)

A type used to conditionally initialize buffers passed to `Read` methods.

## Methods

### `impl Initializer`
[src]

#### `pub fn zeroing() -> Initializer`
[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`read_initializer` #42788)

Returns a new `Initializer` which will zero out buffers.

#### `pub unsafe fn nop() -> Initializer`
[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`read_initializer` #42788)

Returns a new `Initializer` which will not zero out buffers.

# Safety

This may only be called by `Read`ers which guarantee that they will not read from buffers passed to `Read` methods, and that the return value of the method accurately reflects the number of bytes that have been written to the head of the buffer.

#### `pub fn should_initialize(&self) -> bool`
[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`read_initializer` #42788)

Indicates if a buffer should be initialized.

#### `pub fn initialize(&self, buf: &mut [u8])`
[src]

🔬 This is a nightly-only experimental API. (`read_initializer` #42788)

Initializes a buffer if necessary.

## Trait Implementations

### `impl Debug for Initializer`
[src]

#### `fn fmt(&self, __arg_0: &mut Formatter) -> Result`
[src]

Formats the value using the given formatter.

## 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`)
