19\membersection{wxInputStream::wxInputStream}
20
21\func{}{wxInputStream}{\void}
22
23Creates a dummy input stream.
24
25\membersection{wxInputStream::\destruct{wxInputStream}}
26
27\func{}{\destruct{wxInputStream}}{\void}
28
29Destructor.
30
31\membersection{wxInputStream::GetC}
32
33\func{char}{GetC}{\void}
34
35Returns the first character in the input queue and removes it.
36
37\membersection{wxInputStream::Eof}\label{wxinputstreameof}
38
39\constfunc{wxInputStream}{Eof}{\void}
40
41Returns TRUE if the end of stream has been reached.
42
43\membersection{wxInputStream::LastRead}\label{wxinputstreamlastread}
44
45\constfunc{size\_t}{LastRead}{\void}
46
47Returns the last number of bytes read.
48
49\membersection{wxInputStream::Peek}
50
51\func{char}{Peek}{\void}
52
53Returns the first character in the input queue without removing it.
54
55\membersection{wxInputStream::Read}
56
57\func{wxInputStream\&}{Read}{\param{void *}{buffer}, \param{size\_t}{ size}}
58
59Reads the specified amount of bytes and stores the data in {\it buffer}.
60
61\wxheading{Warning}
62
63The buffer absolutely needs to have at least the specified size.
64
65\wxheading{Return value}
66
67This function returns a reference on the current object, so the user can test
68any states of the stream right away.
69
70\func{wxInputStream\&}{Read}{\param{wxOutputStream\&}{ stream\_out}}
71
72Reads data from the input queue and stores it in the specified output stream.
73The data is read until an error is raised by one of the two streams.
74
75\wxheading{Return value}
76
77This function returns a reference on the current object, so the user can test
78any states of the stream right away.
79
80\membersection{wxInputStream::SeekI}
81
82\func{off\_t}{SeekI}{\param{off\_t}{ pos}, \param{wxSeekMode}{ mode = wxFromStart}}
83
84Changes the stream current position.
85
86\membersection{wxInputStream::TellI}
87
88\constfunc{off\_t}{TellI}{\void}
89
90Returns the current stream position.
91
92\membersection{wxInputStream::Ungetch}\label{wxinputstream_ungetch}
93
94\func{size\_t}{Ungetch}{\param{const char*}{ buffer}, \param{size\_t}{ size}}
95
96This function is only useful in {\it read} mode. It is the manager of the "Write-Back"
97buffer. This buffer acts like a temporary buffer where datas which has to be
98read during the next read IO call are put. This is useful when you get a big
99block of data which you didn't want to read: you can replace them at the top
100of the input queue by this way.
101
102Be very careful about this call in connection with calling SeekI() on the same
103stream. Any call to SeekI() will invalidate any previous call to this method
104(otherwise you could SeekI() to one position, "unread" a few bytes there, SeekI()
105to another position and data would be either lost or corrupted).
106
107\wxheading{Return value}
108
109Returns the amount of bytes saved in the Write-Back buffer.
110
111\func{bool}{Ungetch}{\param{char }{c}}
112
113This function acts like the previous one except that it takes only one
114character: it is sometimes shorter to use than the generic function.
