/* Like i_stream_seek(), but also giving a hint that after reading some data
we could be seeking back to this mark or somewhere after it. If input
stream's implementation is slow in seeking backwards, it can use this hint
to cache some of the data in memory. */
/* Returns struct stat, or NULL if error. As the underlying stream may not be
a file, only some of the fields might be set, others would be zero.
st_size is always set, and if it's not known, it's -1.
If exact=FALSE, the stream may not return exactly correct values, but the
returned values can be compared to see if anything had changed (eg. in
compressed stream st_size could be compressed size) */
/* Returns TRUE if there are any bytes left to be read or in buffer. */
/* Gets the next line from stream and returns it, or NULL if more data is
needed to make a full line. Note that if the stream ends with LF not being
the last character, this function doesn't return the last line. */
/* Like i_stream_next_line(), but reads for more data if needed. Returns NULL
if more data is needed or error occurred. */
/* Returns pointer to beginning of read data, or NULL if there's no data
buffered. */
/* Like i_stream_get_data(), but returns non-const data. This only works with
buffered streams (currently only file), others return NULL. */
/* Like i_stream_get_data(), but read more when needed. Returns 1 if more
than threshold bytes are available, 0 if less, -1 if error or EOF with no
bytes read that weren't already in buffer, or -2 if stream's input buffer
is full. */
