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}.

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