## Detailed Description

Base class for streams.

- read/write binary data from/to stream
- get/set stream read-write position (read and write position is the same)

## Member Enumeration Documentation

## ◆ IStreamSeekMode

enum IStreamSeekMode

Enumerator
kIBSeekSet | set absolute seek position
kIBSeekCur | set seek position relative to current position
kIBSeekEnd | set seek position relative to stream end

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ read()

virtual tresult read | ( | void * | buffer,
|  | int32 | numBytes,
|  | int32 * | numBytesRead = nullptr )
| pure virtual

Reads binary data from stream.

Parameters

  buffer | : destination buffer
  numBytes | : amount of bytes to be read
  numBytesRead | : result - how many bytes have been read from stream (set to 0 if this is of no interest)

## ◆ write()

virtual tresult write | ( | void * | buffer,
|  | int32 | numBytes,
|  | int32 * | numBytesWritten = nullptr )
| pure virtual

Writes binary data to stream.

Parameters

  buffer | : source buffer
  numBytes | : amount of bytes to write
  numBytesWritten | : result - how many bytes have been written to stream (set to 0 if this is of no interest)

## ◆ seek()

virtual tresult seek | ( | int64 | pos,
|  | int32 | mode,
|  | int64 * | result = nullptr )
| pure virtual

Sets stream read-write position.

Parameters

  pos | : new stream position (dependent on mode)
  mode | : value of enum IStreamSeekMode
  result | : new seek position (set to 0 if this is of no interest)

## ◆ tell()

virtual tresult tell | ( | int64 * | pos | ) |
| pure virtual

Gets current stream read-write position.

Parameters

  pos | : is assigned the current position if function succeeds
