This module provides some arguably evil functions for turning your nice io-streams into lazy lists.

toLazyList :: InputStream a -> IO [a]

Convert an input stream into a lazy list.

lazyListOutput :: IO (OutputStream a, [a])

toLazyByteString :: InputStream ByteString -> IO ByteString

Convert an input stream of strict ByteStrings to a lazy ByteString.

lazyByteStringOutput :: IO (OutputStream ByteString, ByteString)

Create a lazy ByteString by feeding an OutputStream strict ByteStrings
