Contains types used in creating and managing memory buffers, such as those represented by Span and Memory.
Classes
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| ArrayBufferWriter | Represents a heap-based, array-backed output sink into which T data can be written. |
| ArrayPool | Provides a resource pool that enables reusing instances of type T[]. |
| BuffersExtensions | Provides extension methods for ReadOnlySequence. |
| MemoryManager | An abstract base class that is used to replace the implementation of Memory. |
| MemoryPool | Represents a pool of memory blocks. |
| ReadOnlySequenceSegment | Represents a linked list of ReadOnlyMemory nodes. |
| SearchValues | Provides a set of initialization methods for instances of the SearchValues class. |
| SearchValues | Provides an immutable, read-only set of values optimized for efficient searching. Instances are created by Create(ReadOnlySpan) or Create(ReadOnlySpan). |
| SequenceReaderExtensions | Provides extended functionality for the SequenceReader class that allows reading of endian specific numeric values from binary data. |
Structs
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| MemoryHandle | Provides a memory handle for a block of memory. |
| NIndex | Represents a type that can be used to index a collection either from the start or the end. |
| NRange | Represents a range that has start and end indices. |
| ReadOnlySequence.Enumerator | Represents an enumerator over a ReadOnlySequence. |
| ReadOnlySequence | Represents a sequence that can read a sequential series of T. |
| SequenceReader | Provides methods for reading binary and text data out of a ReadOnlySequence with a focus on performance and minimal or zero heap allocations. |
| StandardFormat | Represents a standard format string without using an actual string. |
Interfaces
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| IBufferWriter | Represents an output sink into which T data can be written. |
| IMemoryOwner | Identifies the owner of a block of memory who is responsible for disposing of the underlying memory appropriately. |
| IPinnable | Provides a mechanism for pinning and unpinning objects to prevent the garbage collector from moving them. |
Enums
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| OperationStatus | Defines the values that can be returned from span-based operations that support processing of input contained in multiple discontiguous buffers. |
Delegates
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| ReadOnlySpanAction<T,TArg> | Encapsulates a method that receives a read-only span of objects of type T and a state object of type TArg. |
| SpanAction<T,TArg> | Encapsulates a method that receives a span of objects of type T and a state object of type TArg. |
