Timed

trait Timed[F[_], O]

An abstraction for writing Pull computations that can timeout while reading from a Stream.

A Pull.Timed is not created or intepreted directly, but by calling Stream.ToPull.timed.

yourStream.pull.timed(tp => ...).stream

The argument to timed is a Pull.Timed[F, O] => Pull[F, O2, R] function, which describes the pulling logic and is often recursive, with shape:

def go(timedPull: Pull.Timed[F, A]): Pull[F, B, Unit] =
 timedPull.uncons.flatMap {
   case Some((Right(chunk), next)) => doSomething >> go(next)
   case Some((Left(_), next)) => doSomethingElse >> go(next)
   case None => Pull.done
 }

Where doSomething and doSomethingElse are Pull computations such as Pull.output, in addition to Pull.Timed.timeout.

See below for detailed descriptions of timeout and uncons, and look at the Stream.ToPull.timed scaladoc for an example of usage.

def timeout(t: FiniteDuration): Pull[F, INothing, Unit]

Asynchronously starts a timeout that will be received by uncons after t, and immediately returns.

Asynchronously starts a timeout that will be received by uncons after t, and immediately returns.

Timeouts are resettable: if timeout executes whilst a previous timeout is pending, it will cancel it before starting the new one, so that there is at most one timeout in flight at any given time. The implementation guards against stale timeouts: after resetting a timeout, a subsequent uncons is guaranteed to never receive an old one.

Timeouts can be reset to any t, longer or shorter than the previous timeout, but a duration of 0 is treated specially, in that it will cancel a pending timeout but not start a new one.

Note: the very first execution of timeout does not start running until the first call to uncons, but subsequent calls proceed independently after that.

def uncons: Pull[F, INothing, Option[(Either[Timeout, Chunk[O]], Timed[F, O])]]

Waits for either a chunk of elements to be available in the source stream, or a timeout to trigger. Whichever happens first is provided as the resource of the returned pull, alongside a new timed pull that can be used for awaiting again. A None is returned as the resource of the pull upon reaching the end of the stream.

Whichever happens first is provided as the resource of the returned pull, alongside a new timed pull that can be used for awaiting again. A None is returned as the resource of the pull upon reaching the end of the stream.

Receiving a timeout is not a fatal event: the evaluation of the current chunk is not interrupted, and the next timed pull is still returned for further iteration. The lifetime of timeouts is handled by explicit calls to the timeout method: uncons does not start, restart or cancel any timeouts.

Note that the type of timeouts is existential in Pull.Timed (hidden, basically) so you cannot do anything on it except for pattern matching, which is best done as a Left(_) case.
