# Class Netchannels.buffered_raw_in_channel

    class buffered_raw_in_channel : ?eol:string list -> ?buffer_size:int -> ?pass_through:int -> raw_in_channel -> enhanced_raw_in_channel

This class adds a buffer to the underlying `raw_in_channel`. As additional feature, the method `enhanced_input_line` is a fast version of `input_line` that profits from the buffer.

`eol` : The accepted end-of-line delimiters. The method `enhanced_input_line` recognizes any of the passed strings as EOL delimiters. When more than one delimiter matches, the longest is taken. Defaults to `["\n"]` . Note that `input_line` always only recognizes `"\n"` as EOL character, this cannot be changed. The delimiter strings must neither be empty, nor longer than `buffer_size`.
`buffer_size` : The size of the buffer, by default 4096.
`pass_through` : If the read request has at least this size, and the buffer is currently empty, the buffer will be bypassed. Defaults to `max_int`, i.e. it is off.
