(** Raw memory buffers with capabilities

    [Cstruct_cap] wraps OCaml Stdlib's
   {{:http://caml.inria.fr/pub/docs/manual-ocaml/libref/Bigarray.html}Bigarray}
   module. Each [t] consists of a proxy (consisting of offset, length, and the
   actual {!Bigarray.t} buffer). The goal of this module is two-fold: enable
   zero-copy - the underlying buffer is shared by most of the functions - and
   static checking of read and write capabilities to the underlying buffer
   (using phantom types).

    Each ['a t] is parameterized by the available capabilities: read ([rd]) and
   write ([wr]): to access the contents of the buffer the [read] capability is
   necessary, for modifying the content of the buffer the [write] capability is
   necessary. Capabilities can only be dropped, never gained, to a buffer.  If
   code only has read capability, this does not mean that there is no other code
   fragment with write capability to the underlying buffer.

    The functions that retrieve bytes ({!get_uint8} etc.) require a [read]
   capability, functions mutating the underlying buffer ({!set_uint8} etc.)
   require a [write] capability. Allocation of a buffer (via {!create}, ...)
   returns a [t] with read and write capabilities. {!val:ro} drops the write
   capability, {!val:wo} drops the read capability. The only exception is
   {!unsafe_to_bigarray} that returns the underlying [Bigarray.t].

    Accessors and mutators for fixed size integers (8, 16, 32, 64 bit) are
   provided for big-endian and little-endian encodings.  *)

(** {2 Types} *)

type 'a rd = < rd: unit; .. > as 'a
(** Type of read capability. *)

type 'a wr = < wr: unit; .. > as 'a
(** Type of write capability. *)

type 'a t
(** Type of cstruct with capabilities ['a]. *)

type buffer = (char, Bigarray.int8_unsigned_elt, Bigarray.c_layout) Bigarray.Array1.t
(** Type of buffer. A {!t} is composed of an underlying buffer. *)

type rdwr = < rd: unit; wr: unit; >
(** Type of both read and write capability. *)

type ro = < rd: unit; >
(** Type of only read capability. *)

type wo = < wr: unit; >
(** Type of only write capability. *)

type uint8 = int
(** 8-bit unsigned integer. *)

type uint16 = int
(** 16-bit unsigned integer. *)

type uint32 = int32
(** 32-bit unsigned integer. *)

type uint64 = int64
(** 64-bit unsigned integer. *)

(** {2 Capabilities} *)

val ro : 'a rd t -> ro t
(** [ro t] is [t'] with only read capability. *)

val wo : 'a wr t -> wo t
(** [wo t] is [t'] with only write capability. *)

(** {2 Basic operations} *)

val equal : 'a rd t -> 'b rd t -> bool
(** [equal a b] is [true] iff [a] and [b] correspond to the same sequence of
    bytes (it uses [memcmp] internally). Both [a] and [b] need at least read
    capability {!rd}. *)

val compare : 'a rd t -> 'b rd t -> int
(** [compare a b] gives an unspecified total ordering over {!t}. Both [a] and
    [b] need at least read capability {!rd}. *)

val pp : Format.formatter -> 'a rd t -> unit
(** [pp ppf t] pretty-prints [t] on [ppf]. [t] needs read capability {!rd}. *)

val length : 'a t -> int
(** [length t] return length of [t]. Note that this length is potentially
   smaller than the actual size of the underlying buffer, as functions such as
   {!sub}, {!shift}, and {!split} can construct a smaller view. *)

val check_alignment : 'a t -> int -> bool
(** [check_alignment t alignment] is [true] if the first byte stored
    in the underlying buffer of [t] is at a memory address where
    [address mod alignment = 0], [false] otherwise. The [mod] used has the
    C/OCaml semantic (which differs from Python).
    Typical uses are to check a buffer is aligned to a page or disk sector
    boundary.

    @raise Invalid_argument if [alignment] is not a positive integer. *)

val lenv : 'a t list -> int
(** [lenv vs] is the combined length of all {!t} in [vs].

    @raise Invalid_argument if computing the sum overflows. *)

(** {2 Constructors} *)

val create : int -> rdwr t
(** [create len] allocates a buffer and proxy with both read and write
    capabilities of size [len]. It is filled with zero bytes. *)

val create_unsafe : int -> rdwr t
(** [create_unsafe len] allocates a buffer and proxy with both read and
    write capabilities of size [len].

    Note that the returned [t] will contain arbitrary data, likely including
    the contents of previously-deallocated cstructs.

    Beware!

    Forgetting to replace this data could cause your application to leak
    sensitive information. *)

(** {2 Subviews} *)

val sub : 'a t -> off:int -> len:int -> 'a t
(** [sub t ~off ~len] returns a proxy which shares the underlying buffer of [t].
    It is sliced at offset [off] and of length [len]. The returned value has the
    same capabilities as [t].

    @raise Invalid_argument if the offset exceeds [t] length. *)

val sub_copy : 'a t -> off:int -> len:int -> rdwr t
(** [sub_copy t ~off ~len] is a new copy of [sub t ~off ~len],
    that does not share the underlying buffer of [t].
    The returned value has read-write capabilities because it doesn't
    affect [t].

    @raise Invalid_argument if the offset exceeds [t] length. *)

val shift : 'a t -> int -> 'a t
(** [shift t len] returns a proxy which shares the underlying buffer of [t]. The
    returned value starts [len] bytes later than the given [t]. The returned
    value has the same capabilities as [t].

    @raise Invalid_argument if the offset exceeds [t] length. *)

val shiftv: 'a t list -> int -> 'a t list
(** [shiftv ts n] is [ts] without the first [n] bytes.
    It has the property that [equal (concat (shiftv ts n)) (shift (concat ts) n)].
    This operation is fairly fast, as it will share the tail of the list.
    The first item in the returned list is never an empty cstruct,
    so you'll get [[]] if and only if [lenv ts = n]. *)

val split : ?start:int -> 'a t -> int -> 'a t * 'a t
(** [split ~start t len] returns two proxies extracted from [t]. The first
    starts at offset [start] (default [0]), and is of length [len]. The second
    is the remainder of [t]. The underlying buffer is shared, the capabilities
    are preserved.

    @raise Invalid_argument if [start] exceeds the length of [t],
    or if there is a bounds violation of [t] via [len + start]. *)

val copy : 'a t -> int -> int -> string
[@@ocaml.alert deprecated "this is just like [to_string] without defaults, were you looking for [sub_copy]?"]
(** [copy cstr off len] is the same as [Cstruct.to_string cstr ~off ~len]. *)

(** {2 Construction from existing t} *)

val append : 'a rd t -> 'b rd t -> rdwr t
(** [append a b] allocates a buffer [r] of size [length a + length b]. Then the
    content of [a] is copied at the start of the buffer [r], and [b] is copied
    behind [a]'s end in [r]. [a] and [b] need at least read capability {!rd},
    the returned value has both read and write capabilities. *)

val concat : 'a rd t list -> rdwr t
(** [concat vss] allocates a buffer [r] of size [lenv vss]. Each [v] of [vss]
    is copied into the buffer [r]. Each [v] of [vss] need at least read
    capability {!rd}, the returned value has both read and write capabilities.
*)

val fillv : src:'a rd t list -> dst:'b wr t -> int * 'a rd t list
(** [fillv ~src ~dst] copies from [src] to [dst] until [src] is exhausted or
    [dst] is full. It returns the number of bytes copied and the remaining data
    from [src], if any. This is useful if you want to {i bufferize} data into
    fixed-sized chunks. Each {!t} of [src] need at least read capability {!rd}.
    [dst] needs at least write capability {!wr}. *)

val rev : 'a rd t -> rdwr t
(** [rev t] allocates a buffer [r] of size [length t], and fills it with the
    bytes of [t] in reverse order. The given [t] needs at least read capability
    {!rd}, the returned value has both read and write capabilities. *)

(** {2 Mutation of the underlying buffer} *)

val memset : 'a wr t -> int -> unit
(** [memset t x] sets all bytes of [t] to [x land 0xFF]. [t] needs at least
    write capability {!wr}. *)

val blit : 'a rd t -> src_off:int -> 'b wr t -> dst_off:int -> len:int -> unit
(** [blit src ~src_off dst ~dst_off ~len] copies [len] bytes from [src] starting
    at index [src_off] to [dst] starting at index [dst_off]. It works correctly
    even if [src] and [dst] refer to the same underlying buffer, and the [src]
    and [dst] intervals overlap.  This function uses [memmove] internally.

    [src] needs at least read capability {!rd}. [dst] needs at least
    write capability {!wr}.

    @raise Invalid_argument if [src_off] and [len] do not designate a valid
    segment of [src], or if [dst_off] and [len] do not designate a valid segment
    of [dst]. *)

val blit_from_string : string -> src_off:int -> 'a wr t -> dst_off:int ->
  len:int -> unit
(** [blit_from_string src ~src_off dst ~dst_off ~len] copies [len] byres from
    [src] starting at index [src_off] to [dst] starting at index [dst_off]. This
    function uses [memcpy] internally.

    [dst] needs at least write capability {!wr}.

    @raise Invalid_argument if [src_off] and [len] do not designate a valid
    sub-string of [src], or if [dst_off] and [len] do not designate a valid
    segment of [dst]. *)

val blit_from_bytes : bytes -> src_off:int -> 'a wr t -> dst_off:int -> len:int
  -> unit
(** [blit_from_bytes src ~src_off dst ~dst_off ~len] copies [len] bytes from
    [src] starting at index [src_off] to [dst] starting at index [dst_off]. This
    uses [memcpy] internally.

    [dst] needs at least write capability {!wr}.

    @raise Invalid_argument if [src_off] and [len] do not designate a valid
    sub-sequence of [src], or if [dst_off] and [len] do no designate a valid
    segment of [dst]. *)

(** {2 Converters: string, bytes, bigarray} *)

val of_string : ?off:int -> ?len:int -> string -> rdwr t
(** [of_string ~off ~len s] allocates a buffer and copies the contents of [s]
    into it starting at offset [off] (default [0]) and of length [len] (default
    [String.length s - off]). The returned value has both read and write
    capabilities.

    @raise Invalid_argument if [off] and [len] does not designate a valid
    segment of [s]. *)

val to_string : ?off:int -> ?len:int -> 'a rd t -> string
(** [to_string ~off ~len t] is the string representation of the segment of [t]
    starting at [off] (default [0]) of size [len] (default [length t - off]).
    [t] needs at least read capability {!rd}.

    @raise Invalid_argument if [off] and [len] does not designate a valid
    segment of [t]. *)

val to_hex_string : ?off:int -> ?len:int -> _ rd t -> string
(** [to_hex_string ~off ~len t] is a fresh OCaml [string] containing
    the hex representation of [sub t off len]. See {!Cstruct.to_hex_string}.
    @raise Invalid_argument if [off] or [len] is negative, or
      if [Cstruct.length t - off < len].
    @since 6.2 *)

val of_hex : ?off:int -> ?len:int -> string -> rdwr t
(** [of_hex ~off ~len s] allocates a buffer and copies the content of [s]
    starting at offset [off] (default [0]) of length [len] (default
    [String.length s - off]), decoding the hex-encoded characters.
    Whitespaces in the string are ignored, every pair of hex-encoded characters
    in [s] are converted to one byte in the returned {!t}, which is exactly
    half the size of the non-whitespace characters of [s] from [off] of length
    [len].

    @raise Invalid_argument is the input string contains invalid characters or
    an off number of non-whitespace characters. *)

val copyv : 'a rd t list -> string
