Ocamlnet 3 Reference Manual : Netstream.input_stream

# Class Netstream.input_stream

    class input_stream : ?len:int -> ?block_size:int -> Netchannels.in_obj_channel -> in_obj_stream

Make an `in_obj_stream` on top of an `in_obj_channel`. The `block_size` can be specified; it defaults to 4096.

If `len` is passed, this parameter limits the length of the channel: Only the first `len` bytes are read from the input channel, then an EOF is simulated even if the input channel is longer.
