Detailed Description

Wraps another input stream, and reads from it using an intermediate buffer.

If you're using an input stream such as a file input stream, and making lots of small read accesses to it, it's probably sensible to wrap it in one of these, so that the source stream gets accessed in larger chunk sizes, meaning less work for the underlying stream.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BufferedInputStream() [1/2]

BufferedInputStream::BufferedInputStream	(	InputStream *	sourceStream,
		int	bufferSize,
		bool	deleteSourceWhenDestroyed )

Creates a BufferedInputStream from an input source.

Parameters

sourceStream	the source stream to read from
bufferSize	the size of reservoir to use to buffer the source
deleteSourceWhenDestroyed	whether the sourceStream that is passed in should be deleted by this object when it is itself deleted.

BufferedInputStream() [2/2]

BufferedInputStream::BufferedInputStream	(	InputStream &	sourceStream,
		int	bufferSize )

Creates a BufferedInputStream from an input source.

Parameters

sourceStream	the source stream to read from - the source stream must not be deleted until this object has been destroyed.
bufferSize	the size of reservoir to use to buffer the source

~BufferedInputStream()

BufferedInputStream::~BufferedInputStream ( )

override

Destructor.

This may also delete the source stream, if that option was chosen when the buffered stream was created.

Member Function Documentation

peekByte()

char BufferedInputStream::peekByte

(

)

Returns the next byte that would be read by a call to readByte()

getTotalLength()

int64 BufferedInputStream::getTotalLength ( )

overridevirtual

Returns the total number of bytes available for reading in this stream.

Note that this is the number of bytes available from the start of the stream, not from the current position.

If the size of the stream isn't actually known, this will return -1.

See also

getNumBytesRemaining

Implements InputStream.

getPosition()

int64 BufferedInputStream::getPosition ( )

overridevirtual

Returns the offset of the next byte that will be read from the stream.

See also

setPosition

Implements InputStream.

setPosition()

bool BufferedInputStream::setPosition ( int64 newPosition )

overridevirtual

Tries to move the current read position of the stream.

The position is an absolute number of bytes from the stream's start.

Some streams might not be able to do this, in which case they should do nothing and return false. Others might be able to manage it by resetting themselves and skipping to the correct position, although this is obviously a bit slow.

Returns

true if the stream manages to reposition itself correctly

See also

getPosition

Implements InputStream.

read()

int BufferedInputStream::read ( void * destBuffer, int maxBytesToRead )

overridevirtual

Reads some data from the stream into a memory buffer.

This is the only read method that subclasses actually need to implement, as the InputStream base class implements the other read methods in terms of this one (although it's often more efficient for subclasses to implement them directly).

Parameters

destBuffer	the destination buffer for the data. This must not be null.
maxBytesToRead	the maximum number of bytes to read - make sure the memory block passed in is big enough to contain this many bytes. This value must not be negative.

Returns

the actual number of bytes that were read, which may be less than maxBytesToRead if the stream is exhausted before it gets that far

Implements InputStream.

readString()

String BufferedInputStream::readString ( )

overridevirtual

Reads a zero-terminated UTF-8 string from the stream.

This will read characters from the stream until it hits a null character or end-of-stream.

See also

OutputStream::writeString, readEntireStreamAsString

Reimplemented from InputStream.

isExhausted()

bool BufferedInputStream::isExhausted ( )

overridevirtual

Returns true if the stream has no more data to read.

Implements InputStream.
