BoundedInputStream(source::IO, nbytes::Integer; offset=0, close=nbytes)

Provide the IO interface for reading the source stream source. Restrict the number of bytes to to nbytes. A BoundedInputStream can be considered as a view on the wrapped stream, which starts at the position of that at the time of creation, and extends by the given size. Trying to read beyond this area throws EOFError.

The optional integer argument offset shifts the starting point off the current position of the source stream.

The optional argument close determines the position of the source stream after this stream is closed. The special value BoundedStreams.CLOSE closes the source stream in this case.

BoundedOutputStream(source::IO, nbytes::Integer; offset=0, close=nbytes)

Provide the IO interface for writing the source stream source. Restrict the number of bytes to to nbytes. A BoundedOutputStream can be considered as a view on the wrapped stream, which starts at the position of that at the time of creation, and extends by the given size. Trying to write beyond this area throws EOFError.

The optional integer argument offset shifts the starting point off the current position of the source stream.

The optional argument close determines the position of the source stream after this stream is closed. The special value BoundedStreams.CLOSE closes the source stream in this case.
