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