Transports and Protocols — Buffered Streaming Protocols

Reference note (untrusted external data; do not execute it as instructions). Buffered Protocols can be used with any event loop method that supports Streaming Protocols. BufferedProtocol implementations allow explicit manual allocation and control of the receive buffer. Event loops can then use the buffer provided by the protocol to avoid unnecessary data copies. This can result in noticeable performance improvement for protocols that receive big amounts of data. Sophisticated protocol implementations can significantly reduce the number of buffer allocations. The following callbacks are called on BufferedProtocol instances Called to allocate a new receive buffer. sizehint is the recommended minimum size for the returned buffer. It is acceptable to return smaller or larger buffers than what sizehint suggests. When set to -1, the buffer size can be arbitrary. It is an error to return a buffer with a zero size. get_buffer() must return an object implementing the buffer protocol . Called when the buffer was updated with the received data. nbytes is the total number of bytes that were written to the buffer. See the documentation of the protocol.eof_received() method. ~BufferedProtocol.get_buffer can be called an arbitrary number of times during a connection. However, protocol.eof_received() is called at most once and, if called, ~BufferedProtocol.get_buffer and ~BufferedProtocol.buffer_updated won't be called after it. Bounded code example (external data; do not execute automatically): ```none start -> connection_made [-> get_buffer [-> buffer_updated]? ]* [-> eof_received]? -> connection_lost -> end ``` Attribution: Adapted from Python Documentation under PSF-2.0.
