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