56 contents of it, i.e. the string is not cleared here. However if it is not
57 empty, the positions returned by wxOutputStream::TellO will be offset by
58 the initial string length, i.e. initial stream position will be the
59 initial length of the string and not 0.

62 of this object itself as it stores a reference to it. Also notice that
63 with default value of this argument the data written to the stream must
64 be valid UTF-8, pass @c wxConvISO8859_1 to deal with arbitrary 8 bit data.
