+(* Module [Fstream]: functional streams *)
+
+(* This module implement functional streams.
+ To be used with syntax [pa_fstream.cmo]. The syntax is:
+- stream: [fstream [: ... :]]
+- parser: [parser [ [: ... :] -> ... | ... ]]
+
+ Functional parsers are of type: [Fstream.t 'a -> option ('a * Fstream.t 'a)]
+
+ They have limited backtrack, i.e if a rule fails, the next rule is tested
+ with the initial stream; limited because when in case of a rule with two
+ consecutive symbols [a] and [b], if [b] fails, the rule fails: there is
+ no try with the next rule of [a].
+*)
+
+type t 'a = 'x;
+ (* The type of 'a functional streams *)
+value from : (int -> option 'a) -> t 'a;
+ (* [Fstream.from f] returns a stream built from the function [f].
+ To create a new stream element, the function [f] is called with
+ the current stream count. The user function [f] must return either
+ [Some <value>] for a value or [None] to specify the end of the
+ stream. *)
+
+value of_list : list 'a -> t 'a;
+ (* Return the stream holding the elements of the list in the same
+ order. *)
+value of_string : string -> t char;
+ (* Return the stream of the characters of the string parameter. *)
+value of_channel : in_channel -> t char;
+ (* Return the stream of the characters read from the input channel. *)
+
+value iter : ('a -> unit) -> t 'a -> unit;
+ (* [Fstream.iter f s] scans the whole stream s, applying function [f]
+ in turn to each stream element encountered. *)
+
+value next : t 'a -> option ('a * t 'a);
+ (* Return [Some (a, s)] where [a] is the first element of the stream
+ and [s] the remaining stream, or [None] if the stream is empty. *)
+value empty : t 'a -> option (unit * t 'a);
+ (* Return [Some ((), s)] if the stream is empty where [s] is itself,
+ else [None] *)
+value count : t 'a -> int;
+ (* Return the current count of the stream elements, i.e. the number
+ of the stream elements discarded. *)
+value count_unfrozen : t 'a -> int;
+ (* Return the number of unfrozen elements in the beginning of the
+ stream; useful to determine the position of a parsing error (longuest
+ path). *)
