clarifies stream seeking for querying and detection functions

Open ssfrr opened this issue 7 years ago • 1 comments

The query infrastructure was already handling seeking around the stream before and after calling the detect functions, so they shouldn't have to worry about it. This also sets the example in the README to skip the magic bytes in load(::Stream) instead of load(::File).

fixes #163

Ugh, I just noticed this. If you want something like this it will likely be easier to start from scratch. I am not 100% certain we've been as careful as we should be about the stream position upon exit, or even what the right default really is. Maybe the detector should leave the position as-is after successful detection?

Happy to help you get this over the finish line if you're still interested.
