streaming: void pointer instead of char pointer

2012-05-03T17:22:56Z

Allow any kind of buffer to be fed to read_istream() without an explicit cast by making it's buf argument a void pointer. It's about arbitrary data, not only characters. Signed-off-by: Rene Scharfe Signed-off-by: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano

streaming: make streaming-write-entry to be more reusable

2012-03-07T17:07:37Z

The static function in entry.c takes a cache entry and streams its blob contents to a file in the working tree. Refactor the logic to a new API function stream_blob_to_fd() that takes an object name and an open file descriptor, so that it can be reused by other callers.

Add streaming filter API

2011-05-26T23:47:15Z

This introduces an API to plug custom filters to an input stream. The caller gets get_stream_filter("path") to obtain an appropriate filter for the path, and then uses it when opening an input stream via open_istream(). After that, the caller can read from the stream with read_istream(), and close it with close_istream(), just like an unfiltered stream. This only adds a "null" filter that is a pass-thru filter, but later changes can add LF-to-CRLF and other filters, and the callers of the streaming API do not have to change.

streaming: a new API to read from the object store

2011-05-21T01:46:55Z

Given an object name, use open_istream() to get a git_istream handle that you can read_istream() from as if you are using read(2) to read the contents of the object, and close it with close_istream() when you are done. Currently, we do not do anything fancy--it just calls read_sha1_file() and keeps the contents in memory as a whole, and carve it out as you request with read_istream(). Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano
