   1 \section{\class{wxDataOutputStream}}\label{wxdataoutputstream}
   2
   3 This class provides functions that write binary data types in a
   4 portable way. Data can be written in either big-endian or little-endian
   5 format, little-endian being the default on all architectures.
   6
   7 If you want to write data to text files (or streams) use
   8 \helpref{wxTextOutputStream}{wxtextoutputstream} instead.
   9
  10 The << operator is overloaded and you can use this class like a standard
  11 C++ iostream. See \helpref{wxDataInputStream}{wxdatainputstream} for its
  12 usage and caveats.
  13
  14 See also \helpref{wxDataInputStream}{wxdatainputstream}.

  24 \func{}{wxDataOutputStream}{\param{wxOutputStream\&}{ stream}}
  25
  26 \func{}{wxDataOutputStream}{\param{wxOutputStream\&}{ stream}, \param{wxMBConv\&}{ conv = wxMBConvUTF8}}
  27
  28 Constructs a datastream object from an output stream. Only write methods will
  29 be available. The second form is only available in Unicode build of wxWidgets.
  30
  31 \wxheading{Parameters}
  32
  33 \docparam{stream}{The output stream.}
  34
  35 \docparam{conv}{Charset conversion object object used to encoding Unicode
  36 strings before writing them to the stream
  37 in Unicode mode (see \helpref{wxDataOutputStream::WriteString}{wxdataoutputstreamwritestring}
  38 documentation for detailed description). Note that you must not destroy
  39 {\it conv} before you destroy this wxDataOutputStream instance! It is
  40 recommended to use default value (UTF-8).}
  41
  42 \membersection{wxDataOutputStream::\destruct{wxDataOutputStream}}\label{wxdataoutputstreamdtor}
  43
  44 \func{}{\destruct{wxDataOutputStream}}{\void}
  45
  46 Destroys the wxDataOutputStream object.
  47
  48 \membersection{wxDataOutputStream::BigEndianOrdered}\label{wxdataoutputstreambigendianorder}
  49
  50 \func{void}{BigEndianOrdered}{\param{bool}{ be\_order}}
  51
  52 If {\it be\_order} is true, all data will be written in big-endian
  53 order, e.g. for reading on a Sparc or from Java-Streams (which
  54 always use big-endian order), otherwise data will be written in
  55 little-endian order.
  56
  57 \membersection{wxDataOutputStream::Write8}\label{wxdataoutputstreamwrite8}
  58
  59 \func{void}{Write8}{{\param wxUint8 }{i8}}
  60
  61 Writes the single byte {\it i8} to the stream.
  62
  63 \func{void}{Write8}{\param{const wxUint8 *}{buffer}, \param{size\_t }{size}}
  64
  65 Writes an array of bytes to the stream. The amount of bytes to write is
  66 specified with the {\it size} variable.
  67
  68 \membersection{wxDataOutputStream::Write16}\label{wxdataoutputstreamwrite16}
  69
  70 \func{void}{Write16}{{\param wxUint16 }{i16}}
  71
  72 Writes the 16 bit unsigned integer {\it i16} to the stream.
  73
  74 \func{void}{Write16}{\param{const wxUint16 *}{buffer}, \param{size\_t }{size}}
  75
  76 Writes an array of 16 bit unsigned integer to the stream. The amount of
  77 16 bit unsigned integer to write is specified with the {\it size} variable.
  78
  79 \membersection{wxDataOutputStream::Write32}\label{wxdataoutputstreamwrite32}
  80
  81 \func{void}{Write32}{{\param wxUint32 }{i32}}
  82
  83 Writes the 32 bit unsigned integer {\it i32} to the stream.
  84
  85 \func{void}{Write32}{\param{const wxUint32 *}{buffer}, \param{size\_t }{size}}
  86
  87 Writes an array of 32 bit unsigned integer to the stream. The amount of
  88 32 bit unsigned integer to write is specified with the {\it size} variable.
  89
  90 \membersection{wxDataOutputStream::Write64}\label{wxdataoutputstreamwrite64}
  91
  92 \func{void}{Write64}{{\param wxUint64 }{i64}}
  93
  94 Writes the 64 bit unsigned integer {\it i64} to the stream.
  95
  96 \func{void}{Write64}{\param{const wxUint64 *}{buffer}, \param{size\_t }{size}}
  97
  98 Writes an array of 64 bit unsigned integer to the stream. The amount of
  99 64 bit unsigned integer to write is specified with the {\it size} variable.
 100
 101 \membersection{wxDataOutputStream::WriteDouble}\label{wxdataoutputstreamwritedouble}
 102
 103 \func{void}{WriteDouble}{{\param double }{f}}
 104
 105 Writes the double {\it f} to the stream using the IEEE format.
 106
 107 \func{void}{WriteDouble}{\param{const double *}{buffer}, \param{size\_t }{size}}
 108
 109 Writes an array of double to the stream. The amount of double to write is
 110 specified with the {\it size} variable.
 111
 112 \membersection{wxDataOutputStream::WriteString}\label{wxdataoutputstreamwritestring}
 113
 114 \func{void}{WriteString}{{\param const wxString\&}{string}}
 115
 116 Writes {\it string} to the stream. Actually, this method writes the size of
 117 the string before writing {\it string} itself.
 118
 119 In ANSI build of wxWidgets, the string is written to the stream in exactly
 120 same way it is represented in memory. In Unicode build, however, the string
 121 is first converted to multibyte representation with {\it conv} object passed
 122 to stream's constructor (consequently, ANSI application can read data
 123 written by Unicode application, as long as they agree on encoding) and this
 124 representation is written to the stream. UTF-8 is used by default.
