# Documentation

data Stream #

Lightweight abstraction over an input/output stream.

makeStream #

Arguments

:: IO (Maybe ByteString) | Reading
-> (Maybe ByteString -> IO ()) | Writing
-> IO Stream | Resulting stream

Create a stream from a "receive" and "send" action. The following properties apply:

- Regardless of the provided "receive" and "send" functions, reading and writing from the stream will be thread-safe, i.e. this function will create a receive and write lock to be used internally.
- Reading from or writing or to a closed `Stream` will always throw an exception, even if the underlying "receive" and "send" functions do not (we do the bookkeeping).
- Streams should always be closed.
