API

Properties

maxMatches - < integer > - The maximum number of matches. Defaults to Infinity.
matches - < integer > - The current match count.

Functions

(constructor)(< mixed >needle, < function >callback) - Creates and returns a new instance for searching for a Buffer or string needle. callback is called any time there is non-matching data and/or there is a needle match. callback will be called with the following arguments:
1. isMatch - boolean - Indicates whether a match has been found
2. data - mixed - If set, this contains data that did not match the needle.
3. start - integer - The index in data where the non-matching data begins (inclusive).
4. end - integer - The index in data where the non-matching data ends (exclusive).
5. isSafeData - boolean - Indicates if it is safe to store a reference to data (e.g. as-is or via data.slice()) or not, as in some cases data may point to a Buffer whose contents change over time.
destroy() - (void) - Emits any last remaining unmatched data that may still be buffered and then resets internal state.
push(< Buffer >chunk) - integer - Processes chunk, searching for a match. The return value is the last processed index in chunk + 1.
reset() - (void) - Resets internal state. Useful for when you wish to start searching a new/different stream for example.
