Overview

A string tokeniser that recognises PDF grammar. When passed an IO stream or a string, repeated calls to token() will return the next token from the source.

This is very low level, and getting the raw tokens is not very useful in itself.

This will usually be used in conjunction with PDF:Reader::Parser, which converts the raw tokens into objects we can work with (strings, ints, arrays, etc)

Constructor Details

#initialize(io, opts = {}) ⇒ Buffer

Creates a new buffer.

Params:

io - an IO stream or string with the raw data to tokenise

options:

:seek - a byte offset to seek to before starting to tokenise
:content_stream - set to true if buffer will be tokenising a
                  content stream. Defaults to false

  raise MalformedPDFError, "PDF does not contain EOF marker" if eof_index.nil?
  raise MalformedPDFError, "PDF EOF marker does not follow offset" if eof_index >= lines.size-1
  lines[eof_index+1].to_i
end

#read(bytes, opts = {}) ⇒ Object

return raw bytes from the underlying IO stream.

bytes - the number of bytes to read

options:

:skip_eol - if true, the IO stream is advanced past a CRLF or LF that
            is sitting under the io cursor.

#token ⇒ Object

return the next token from the source. Returns a string if a token is found, nil if there are no tokens left.
