  55         If @a str is used, data written to the stream is appended to the current

  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.

  61         Notice that the life time of @a conv must be greater than the life time
  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.
