Detailed Description

The base class for streams that write data to some kind of destination.

Input and output streams are used throughout the library - subclasses can override some or all of the virtual functions to implement their behaviour.

See Also: InputStream, MemoryOutputStream, FileOutputStream

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

OutputStream::OutputStream ( )

protected

virtual OutputStream::~OutputStream ( )

virtual

Destructor.

Some subclasses might want to do things like call flush() during their destructors.

Member Function Documentation

virtual void OutputStream::flush ( )

pure virtual

If the stream is using a buffer, this will ensure it gets written out to the destination.

Implemented in MemoryOutputStream, FileOutputStream, and GZIPCompressorOutputStream.

virtual bool OutputStream::setPosition ( int64 newPosition )

pure virtual

Tries to move the stream's output position.

Not all streams will be able to seek to a new position - this will return false if it fails to work.

See Also: getPosition

Implemented in MemoryOutputStream, FileOutputStream, and GZIPCompressorOutputStream.

virtual int64 OutputStream::getPosition ( )

pure virtual

Returns the stream's current position.

See Also: setPosition

Implemented in MemoryOutputStream, FileOutputStream, and GZIPCompressorOutputStream.

virtual bool OutputStream::write	(	const void *	dataToWrite,
		size_t	numberOfBytes
	)

pure virtual

Writes a block of data to the stream.

When creating a subclass of OutputStream, this is the only write method that needs to be overloaded - the base class has methods for writing other types of data which use this to do the work.

Parameters

dataToWrite	the target buffer to receive the data. This must not be null.
numberOfBytes	the number of bytes to write.

Returns: false if the write operation fails for some reason

Implemented in MemoryOutputStream, FileOutputStream, and GZIPCompressorOutputStream.

virtual void OutputStream::writeByte ( char byte )

virtual

Writes a single byte to the stream.

See Also: InputStream::readByte

virtual void OutputStream::writeBool ( bool boolValue )

virtual

Writes a boolean to the stream as a single byte.

This is encoded as a binary byte (not as text) with a value of 1 or 0.

See Also: InputStream::readBool

virtual void OutputStream::writeShort ( short value )

virtual

Writes a 16-bit integer to the stream in a little-endian byte order.

This will write two bytes to the stream: (value & 0xff), then (value >> 8).

See Also: InputStream::readShort

virtual void OutputStream::writeShortBigEndian ( short value )

virtual

Writes a 16-bit integer to the stream in a big-endian byte order.

This will write two bytes to the stream: (value >> 8), then (value & 0xff).

See Also: InputStream::readShortBigEndian

virtual void OutputStream::writeInt ( int value )

virtual

Writes a 32-bit integer to the stream in a little-endian byte order.

See Also: InputStream::readInt

virtual void OutputStream::writeIntBigEndian ( int value )

virtual

Writes a 32-bit integer to the stream in a big-endian byte order.

See Also: InputStream::readIntBigEndian

virtual void OutputStream::writeInt64 ( int64 value )

virtual

Writes a 64-bit integer to the stream in a little-endian byte order.

See Also: InputStream::readInt64

virtual void OutputStream::writeInt64BigEndian ( int64 value )

virtual

Writes a 64-bit integer to the stream in a big-endian byte order.

See Also: InputStream::readInt64BigEndian

virtual void OutputStream::writeFloat ( float value )

virtual

Writes a 32-bit floating point value to the stream in a binary format.

The binary 32-bit encoding of the float is written as a little-endian int.

See Also: InputStream::readFloat

virtual void OutputStream::writeFloatBigEndian ( float value )

virtual

Writes a 32-bit floating point value to the stream in a binary format.

The binary 32-bit encoding of the float is written as a big-endian int.

See Also: InputStream::readFloatBigEndian

virtual void OutputStream::writeDouble ( double value )

virtual

Writes a 64-bit floating point value to the stream in a binary format.

The eight raw bytes of the double value are written out as a little-endian 64-bit int.

See Also: InputStream::readDouble

virtual void OutputStream::writeDoubleBigEndian ( double value )

virtual

Writes a 64-bit floating point value to the stream in a binary format.

The eight raw bytes of the double value are written out as a big-endian 64-bit int.

See Also: InputStream::readDoubleBigEndian

virtual void OutputStream::writeRepeatedByte	(	uint8	byte,
		size_t	numTimesToRepeat
	)

virtual

Writes a byte to the output stream a given number of times.

Reimplemented in MemoryOutputStream, and FileOutputStream.

virtual void OutputStream::writeCompressedInt ( int value )

virtual

Writes a condensed binary encoding of a 32-bit integer.

If you're storing a lot of integers which are unlikely to have very large values, this can save a lot of space, because values under 0xff will only take up 2 bytes, under 0xffff only 3 bytes, etc.

The format used is: number of significant bytes + up to 4 bytes in little-endian order.

See Also: InputStream::readCompressedInt

virtual void OutputStream::writeString ( const String & text )

virtual

Stores a string in the stream in a binary format.

This isn't the method to use if you're trying to append text to the end of a text-file! It's intended for storing a string so that it can be retrieved later by InputStream::readString().

It writes the string to the stream as UTF8, including the null termination character.

For appending text to a file, instead use writeText, or operator<<

See Also: InputStream::readString, writeText, operator<<

virtual void OutputStream::writeText	(	const String &	text,
		bool	asUTF16,
		bool	writeUTF16ByteOrderMark
	)

virtual

Writes a string of text to the stream.

It can either write the text as UTF-8 or UTF-16, and can also add the UTF-16 byte-order-mark bytes (0xff, 0xfe) to indicate the endianness (these should only be used at the start of a file).

The method also replaces '\n' characters in the text with '\r\n'.

virtual int OutputStream::writeFromInputStream	(	InputStream &	source,
		int64	maxNumBytesToWrite
	)

virtual

Reads data from an input stream and writes it to this stream.

Parameters

source	the stream to read from
maxNumBytesToWrite	the number of bytes to read from the stream (if this is less than zero, it will keep reading until the input is exhausted)

Reimplemented in MemoryOutputStream.

void OutputStream::setNewLineString ( const String & newLineString )

Sets the string that will be written to the stream when the writeNewLine() method is called.

By default this will be set the the value of NewLine::getDefault().

const String& OutputStream::getNewLineString ( ) const

noexcept

Returns the current new-line string that was set by setNewLineString().
