Detailed Description

Abstract streams baseclass.

All streams always have an associated device, the type of which can vary.

Definition at line 51 of file mstream.h.

---

Member Enumeration Documentation

enum Encoding

Defines the character encoding of the stream. Definition at line 62 of file mstream.h.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Stream (  IODevice &    dev )

Constructor from a reference to a device. Because the device was given with a reference, the stream object does not take the ownership of the device object and therefore does not destroy it along with itself. Definition at line 71 of file mstream.cc. References mFormatMode, and mOwnDevice.

Stream (  IODevice *    dev )

Constructor from a pointer to a device. Because the device was given with a pointer, the stream object takes the ownership of the device object and destroys it along with itself. Definition at line 82 of file mstream.cc. References mFormatMode, and mOwnDevice.

Stream (  String &    buffer )

Shorthand constructor for a buffer device. The IODevice object is handled internally. The stream object keeps the ownership of the device object and destroys it along with itself. Definition at line 94 of file mstream.cc. References mFormatMode, and mOwnDevice.

Stream (  FILE *    strm )

Shorthand constructor for a file device. The IODevice object is handled internally. The stream object keeps the ownership of the device object and destroys it along with itself. Definition at line 106 of file mstream.cc. References mFormatMode, and mOwnDevice.

Stream (  Stream &    orig )

Copy constructor. Definition at line 115 of file mstream.cc. References IODevice::addStream(), mEncoding, mFlags, mFormatMode, mOwnDevice, and mpDevice.

~Stream (    )  [virtual]

Destructor for the stream. The associated device is destructed along with the stream, unless passed with a reference. Definition at line 132 of file mstream.cc.

---

Member Function Documentation

void copy (  const Stream &    other )  [virtual]

Copy operator. Warning: Does not take ownership of the device to which the stream is attached. Definition at line 173 of file mstream.cc. References mEncoding, mFlags, mFormatMode, mOwnDevice, and mpDevice. Referenced by OStream::copy().

void setDevice (  IODevice *    dev )

Sets the device for the stream. Note: The stream object takes ownership of the device, and destructs it properly. Parameters: dev  Device to give to the stream. Definition at line 151 of file mstream.cc. References mOwnDevice.

int mFormatMode [protected]

Formatting mode. Definition at line 86 of file mstream.h. Referenced by copy(), and Stream().
