-Returns the first character in the input queue and removes it.
+Returns the first character in the input queue and removes it,
+blocking until it appears if necessary.
+
+\wxheading{Note}
+
+If EOF, return value is undefined and LastRead() will return 0 and not 1.

+\membersection{wxInputStream::Eof}\label{wxinputstreameof}
+
+\constfunc{wxInputStream}{Eof}{\void}
+
+Returns true if the end of stream has been reached.
+
+\wxheading{Note}
+
+For some streams Eof() will not return true until an
+attempt has been made to read past the end of the stream.
+\helpref{LastRead()}{wxinputstreamlastread}
+should be called after each read to check that
+a non-zero number of bytes have been read.

\constfunc{size\_t}{LastRead}{\void}
Returns the first character in the input queue without removing it.
+\wxheading{Note}
+
+Blocks until something appears in the stream if necessary, if nothing
+ever does (i.e. EOF) LastRead() will return 0 (and the return value is
+undefined), otherwise LastRead() returns 1.

\func{wxInputStream\&}{Read}{\param{void *}{buffer}, \param{size\_t}{ size}}
-Reads the specified amount of bytes and stores the data in \it{buffer}.
+Reads the specified amount of bytes and stores the data in {\it buffer}.
\wxheading{Warning}
This function returns a reference on the current object, so the user can test
any states of the stream right away.
-\membersection{wxInputStream::SeekI}
+\membersection{wxInputStream::SeekI}\label{wxinputstreamseeki}
\func{off\_t}{SeekI}{\param{off\_t}{ pos}, \param{wxSeekMode}{ mode = wxFromStart}}
Changes the stream current position.

+
+\docparam{pos}{Offset to seek to.}
+
+\docparam{mode}{One of {\bf wxFromStart}, {\bf wxFromEnd}, {\bf wxFromCurrent}.}
+
+\wxheading{Return value}
+
+The new stream position or wxInvalidOffset on error.

\membersection{wxInputStream::TellI}
\constfunc{off\_t}{TellI}{\void}
Returns the current stream position.

+This function is only useful in {\it read} mode. It is the manager of the "Write-Back"
+buffer. This buffer acts like a temporary buffer where data which has to be
read during the next read IO call are put. This is useful when you get a big
block of data which you didn't want to read: you can replace them at the top
of the input queue by this way.
+Be very careful about this call in connection with calling SeekI() on the same
+stream. Any call to SeekI() will invalidate any previous call to this method
+(otherwise you could SeekI() to one position, "unread" a few bytes there, SeekI()
+to another position and data would be either lost or corrupted).
+
\wxheading{Return value}
Returns the amount of bytes saved in the Write-Back buffer.
