21\membersection{wxInputStream::wxInputStream}\label{wxinputstreamctor}
22
23\func{}{wxInputStream}{\void}
24
25Creates a dummy input stream.
26
27\membersection{wxInputStream::\destruct{wxInputStream}}\label{wxinputstreamdtor}
28
29\func{}{\destruct{wxInputStream}}{\void}
30
31Destructor.
32
33\membersection{wxInputStream::GetC}\label{wxinputstreamgetc}
34
35\func{char}{GetC}{\void}
36
37Returns the first character in the input queue and removes it,
38blocking until it appears if necessary.
39
40\wxheading{Note}
41
42If EOF, return value is undefined and LastRead() will return 0 and not 1.
43
44\membersection{wxInputStream::Eof}\label{wxinputstreameof}
45
46\constfunc{wxInputStream}{Eof}{\void}
47
48Returns true if the end of stream has been reached.
49
50\wxheading{Note}
51
52For some streams Eof() will not return true until an
53attempt has been made to read past the end of the stream.
54\helpref{LastRead()}{wxinputstreamlastread}
55should be called after each read to check that
56a non-zero number of bytes have been read.
57
58\membersection{wxInputStream::LastRead}\label{wxinputstreamlastread}
59
60\constfunc{size\_t}{LastRead}{\void}
61
62Returns the last number of bytes read.
63
64\membersection{wxInputStream::Peek}\label{wxinputstreampeek}
65
66\func{char}{Peek}{\void}
67
68Returns the first character in the input queue without removing it.
69
70\wxheading{Note}
71
72Blocks until something appears in the stream if necessary, if nothing
73ever does (i.e. EOF) LastRead() will return 0 (and the return value is
74undefined), otherwise LastRead() returns 1.
75
76\membersection{wxInputStream::Read}\label{wxinputstreamread}
77
78\func{wxInputStream\&}{Read}{\param{void *}{buffer}, \param{size\_t}{ size}}
79
80Reads the specified amount of bytes and stores the data in {\it buffer}.
81
82\wxheading{Warning}
83
84The buffer absolutely needs to have at least the specified size.
85
86\wxheading{Return value}
87
88This function returns a reference on the current object, so the user can test
89any states of the stream right away.
90
91\func{wxInputStream\&}{Read}{\param{wxOutputStream\&}{ stream\_out}}
92
93Reads data from the input queue and stores it in the specified output stream.
94The data is read until an error is raised by one of the two streams.
95
96\wxheading{Return value}
97
98This function returns a reference on the current object, so the user can test
99any states of the stream right away.
100
101\membersection{wxInputStream::SeekI}\label{wxinputstreamseeki}
102
103\func{off\_t}{SeekI}{\param{off\_t}{ pos}, \param{wxSeekMode}{ mode = wxFromStart}}
104
105Changes the stream current position.
106
107\wxheading{Parameters}
108
109\docparam{pos}{Offset to seek to.}
110
111\docparam{mode}{One of {\bf wxFromStart}, {\bf wxFromEnd}, {\bf wxFromCurrent}.}
112
113\wxheading{Return value}
114
115The new stream position or wxInvalidOffset on error.
116
117\membersection{wxInputStream::TellI}\label{wxinputstreamtelli}
118
119\constfunc{off\_t}{TellI}{\void}
120
121Returns the current stream position.
122
123\membersection{wxInputStream::Ungetch}\label{wxinputstreamungetch}
124
125\func{size\_t}{Ungetch}{\param{const char*}{ buffer}, \param{size\_t}{ size}}
126
127This function is only useful in {\it read} mode. It is the manager of the "Write-Back"
128buffer. This buffer acts like a temporary buffer where data which has to be
129read during the next read IO call are put. This is useful when you get a big
130block of data which you didn't want to read: you can replace them at the top
131of the input queue by this way.
132
133Be very careful about this call in connection with calling SeekI() on the same
134stream. Any call to SeekI() will invalidate any previous call to this method
135(otherwise you could SeekI() to one position, "unread" a few bytes there, SeekI()
136to another position and data would be either lost or corrupted).
137
138\wxheading{Return value}
139
140Returns the amount of bytes saved in the Write-Back buffer.
141
142\func{bool}{Ungetch}{\param{char }{c}}
143
144This function acts like the previous one except that it takes only one
145character: it is sometimes shorter to use than the generic function.
