Attributes

closed
mode	The file mode.

close(self)

closed

download(self, stream_or_path, buffer_size=None)

Read this file completely to a local path or destination stream.

This method first seeks to the beginning of the file.

Parameters:

stream_or_pathstr or file-like object

If a string, a local file path to write to; otherwise, should be a writable stream.

buffer_sizeint, optional

The buffer size to use for data transfers.

fileno(self)

flush(self)

Flush the stream, if applicable.

An error is raised if stream is not writable.

get_stream(self, file_offset, nbytes)

Return an input stream that reads a file segment independent of the state of the file.

Allows reading portions of a random access file as an input stream without interfering with each other.

Parameters:

file_offsetint

nbytesint

Returns:

streamNativeFile

isatty(self)

metadata(self)

Return file metadata

mode

The file mode. Currently instances of NativeFile may support:

• rb: binary read

• wb: binary write

• rb+: binary read and write

read(self, nbytes=None)

Read and return up to n bytes.

If nbytes is None, then the entire remaining file contents are read.

Parameters:

nbytesint, default None

Returns:

databytes

read1(self, nbytes=None)

Read and return up to n bytes.

Unlike read(), if nbytes is None then a chunk is read, not the entire file.

Parameters:

nbytesint, default None

The maximum number of bytes to read.

Returns:

databytes

read_at(self, nbytes, offset)

Read indicated number of bytes at offset from the file

Parameters:

nbytesint

offsetint

Returns:

databytes

read_buffer(self, nbytes=None)

readable(self)

readall(self)

readinto(self, b)

Read into the supplied buffer

Parameters:

bbuffer-like object

A writable buffer object (such as a bytearray).

Returns:

writtenint

number of bytes written

readline(self, size=None)

NOT IMPLEMENTED. Read and return a line of bytes from the file.

If size is specified, read at most size bytes.

Line terminator is always b”n”.

Parameters:

sizeint

maximum number of bytes read

readlines(self, hint=None)

NOT IMPLEMENTED. Read lines of the file

Parameters:

hintint

maximum number of bytes read until we stop

seek(self, int64_t position, int whence=0)

Change current file stream position

Parameters:

positionint

Byte offset, interpreted relative to value of whence argument

whenceint, default 0

Point of reference for seek offset

Returns:

int

The new absolute stream position.

Notes

Values of whence: * 0 – start of stream (the default); offset should be zero or positive * 1 – current stream position; offset may be negative * 2 – end of stream; offset is usually negative

seekable(self)

size(self)

Return file size

tell(self)

Return current stream position

truncate(self)

NOT IMPLEMENTED

upload(self, stream, buffer_size=None)

Write from a source stream to this file.

Parameters:

streamfile-like object

Source stream to pipe to this file.

buffer_sizeint, optional

The buffer size to use for data transfers.

writable(self)

write(self, data)

Write data to the file.

Parameters:

databytes-like object or exporter of buffer protocol

Returns:

int

nbytes: number of bytes written

writelines(self, lines)
