Properties

Name Type Description
empty [inherited] bool Returns true iff the end of the stream has been reached
leastSize [inherited] ulong Returns the maximum number of bytes that are known to remain in this stream until the end is reached. After leastSize() bytes have been read, the stream will either have reached EOS and empty() returns true, or leastSize() returns again a number > 0.
dataAvailableForRead [inherited] bool Queries if there is data available for immediate, non-blocking read.

Methods

Name Description
peek [inherited] Returns a temporary reference to the data that is currently buffered, typically has the size leastSize() or 0 if dataAvailableForRead() returns false.
read [inherited] Fills the preallocated array 'bytes' with data from the stream.
write [inherited] Writes an array of bytes to the stream.
flush [inherited] Flushes the stream and makes sure that all data is being written to the output device.
finalize [inherited] Flushes and finalizes the stream.
write [inherited] Writes an array of chars to the stream.
