IOStream

A stream that allows both reading and writing data

interface IOStream : InputStream , OutputStream

Inherited Members

readable bool readable(): Returns true if there are any data to read. false means end of the stream.
readBytes size_t readBytes(void* buffer, size_t count): Attempts to read count bytes from stream and stores them in memory pointing by buffer. Returns number of bytes actually read
fillArray bool fillArray(T[] array): Attempts to fill an array with raw data from stream. Returns true if the array was filled, false otherwise
readLE bool readLE(T* value): Reads little-endian integer, converts to native-endian and stores in value
readBE bool readBE(T* value): Reads big-endian integer, converts to native-endian and stores in value

flush void flush(): Implementation-specific method. Usually it writes any unwritten data from output buffer
writeable bool writeable(): Returns true if stream can be written to, false otherwise
writeBytes size_t writeBytes(void* buffer, size_t count): Attempts to write count bytes from the memory pointed by buffer. Returns number of bytes actually written
writeArray bool writeArray(T[] array): Attempts to write an array. Returns true if all elements were written, false otherwise
writeStringz bool writeStringz(string text): Attempts to write a string as zero-terminated. Returns true if entire string was written, false otherwise
writeLE bool writeLE(T value): Writes an integer in little-endian encoding
writeBE bool writeBE(T value): Writes an integer in big-endian encoding
