\section{\class{wxFFileInputStream}}\label{wxffileinputstream}

This class represents data read in from a file. There are actually
two such groups of classes: this one is based on \helpref{wxFFile}{wxffile} 
whereas \helpref{wxFileInputStream}{wxfileinputstream} is based in
the \helpref{wxFile}{wxfile} class.

Note that \helpref{wxFile}{wxfile} and \helpref{wxFFile}{wxffile} differ
in one aspect, namely when to report that the end of the file has been
reached. This is documented in \helpref{wxFile::Eof}{wxfileeof} and 
\helpref{wxFFile::Eof}{wxffileeof} and the behaviour of the stream
classes reflects this difference, i.e. wxFileInputStream will report
wxSTREAM\_EOF after having read the last byte whereas wxFFileInputStream
will report wxSTREAM\_EOF after trying to read {\it past} the last byte.
Related to EOF behavior, note that \helpref{SeekI()}{wxinputstreamseeki} 
can seek beyond the end of the stream (file) and will thus not return 
{\it wxInvalidOffset} for that.

\section{\class{wxFFileOutputStream}}\label{wxffileoutputstream}

This class represents data written to a file. There are actually
two such groups of classes: this one is based on \helpref{wxFFile}{wxffile} 
whereas \helpref{wxFileInputStream}{wxffileinputstream} is based in
the \helpref{wxFile}{wxfile} class.

will report wxSTREAM\_EOF after trying to read {\it past} the last byte.
Related to EOF behavior, note that \helpref{SeekO()}{wxoutputstreamseeko} 
can seek beyond the end of the stream (file) and will thus not return 
{\it wxInvalidOffset} for that.
