This library provides predicates to support reading / writing of terms on a format designed to be handled on read faster than standart representation.

Usage and interface (fastrw)

Documentation on exports (fastrw)

PREDICATE: fast_read/1:

fast_read(Term)

The next term is read from current standart input and is unified with Term. The syntax of the term must agree with fast_read / fast_write format. If the end of the input has been reached, Term is unified with the term 'end_of_file'. Further calls to fast_read/1 will then cause an error.

PREDICATE: fast_write/1:

fast_write(Term)

Output Term in a way that fast_read/1 will be able to read it back.

PREDICATE: fast_write_to_string/3:

No further documentation available for this predicate.
