Member Function Documentation

getNumBytesRemaining()

int64 juce::InputStream::getNumBytesRemaining

(

)

Returns the number of bytes available for reading, or a negative value if the remaining length is not known.

See also

getTotalLength

getPosition()

virtual int64 juce::InputStream::getPosition ( )

pure virtual

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

See also

setPosition

Implemented in juce::WebInputStream, juce::MemoryInputStream, juce::GZIPDecompressorInputStream, juce::FileInputStream, juce::BufferedInputStream, and juce::SubregionStream.

getTotalLength()

virtual int64 juce::InputStream::getTotalLength ( )

pure virtual

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

Implemented in juce::WebInputStream, juce::MemoryInputStream, juce::GZIPDecompressorInputStream, juce::FileInputStream, juce::BufferedInputStream, and juce::SubregionStream.

isExhausted()

virtual bool juce::InputStream::isExhausted ( )

pure virtual

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

Implemented in juce::WebInputStream, juce::MemoryInputStream, juce::GZIPDecompressorInputStream, juce::BufferedInputStream, juce::FileInputStream, and juce::SubregionStream.

read() [1/2]

virtual int juce::InputStream::read ( void *  destBuffer, int  maxBytesToRead  )

pure virtual

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

Implemented in juce::WebInputStream, juce::MemoryInputStream, juce::GZIPDecompressorInputStream, juce::BufferedInputStream, juce::SubregionStream, and juce::FileInputStream.

read() [2/2]

ssize_t juce::InputStream::read	(	void *	destBuffer,
		size_t	maxBytesToRead
	)

readBool()

virtual bool juce::InputStream::readBool ( )

virtual

Reads a boolean from the stream.

The bool is encoded as a single byte - non-zero for true, 0 for false. If the stream is exhausted, this will return false.

See also

OutputStream::writeBool

readByte()

virtual char juce::InputStream::readByte ( )

virtual

Reads a byte from the stream.

If the stream is exhausted, this will return zero.

See also

OutputStream::writeByte

readCompressedInt()

virtual int juce::InputStream::readCompressedInt ( )

virtual

Reads an encoded 32-bit number from the stream using a space-saving compressed format.

For small values, this is more space-efficient than using readInt() and OutputStream::writeInt() The format used is: number of significant bytes + up to 4 bytes in little-endian order.

See also

OutputStream::writeCompressedInt()

readDouble()

virtual double juce::InputStream::readDouble ( )

virtual

Reads eight bytes as a 64-bit floating point value.

The raw 64-bit encoding of the double is read from the stream as a little-endian int64. If the stream is exhausted partway through reading the bytes, this will return zero.

See also

OutputStream::writeDouble, readFloat

readDoubleBigEndian()

virtual double juce::InputStream::readDoubleBigEndian ( )

virtual

Reads eight bytes as a 64-bit floating point value.

The raw 64-bit encoding of the double is read from the stream as a big-endian int64. If the stream is exhausted partway through reading the bytes, this will return zero.

See also

OutputStream::writeDoubleBigEndian, readFloatBigEndian

readEntireStreamAsString()

virtual String juce::InputStream::readEntireStreamAsString ( )

virtual

Tries to read the whole stream and turn it into a string.

This will read from the stream's current position until the end-of-stream. It can read from UTF-8 data, or UTF-16 if it detects suitable header-bytes.

readFloat()

virtual float juce::InputStream::readFloat ( )

virtual

Reads four bytes as a 32-bit floating point value.

The raw 32-bit encoding of the float is read from the stream as a little-endian int. If the stream is exhausted partway through reading the bytes, this will return zero.

See also

OutputStream::writeFloat, readDouble

readFloatBigEndian()

virtual float juce::InputStream::readFloatBigEndian ( )

virtual

Reads four bytes as a 32-bit floating point value.

The raw 32-bit encoding of the float is read from the stream as a big-endian int. If the stream is exhausted partway through reading the bytes, this will return zero.

See also

OutputStream::writeFloatBigEndian, readDoubleBigEndian

readInt()

virtual int juce::InputStream::readInt ( )

virtual

Reads four bytes from the stream as a little-endian 32-bit value.

If the next four bytes are byte1 to byte4, this returns (byte1 | (byte2 << 8) | (byte3 << 16) | (byte4 << 24)).

If the stream is exhausted partway through reading the bytes, this will return zero.

See also

OutputStream::writeInt, readIntBigEndian

readInt64()

virtual int64 juce::InputStream::readInt64 ( )

virtual

Reads eight bytes from the stream as a little-endian 64-bit value.

If the next eight bytes are byte1 to byte8, this returns (byte1 | (byte2 << 8) | (byte3 << 16) | (byte4 << 24) | (byte5 << 32) | (byte6 << 40) | (byte7 << 48) | (byte8 << 56)).

If the stream is exhausted partway through reading the bytes, this will return zero.

See also

OutputStream::writeInt64, readInt64BigEndian

readInt64BigEndian()

virtual int64 juce::InputStream::readInt64BigEndian ( )

virtual

Reads eight bytes from the stream as a big-endian 64-bit value.

If the next eight bytes are byte1 to byte8, this returns (byte8 | (byte7 << 8) | (byte6 << 16) | (byte5 << 24) | (byte4 << 32) | (byte3 << 40) | (byte2 << 48) | (byte1 << 56)).

If the stream is exhausted partway through reading the bytes, this will return zero.

See also

OutputStream::writeInt64BigEndian, readInt64

readIntBigEndian()

virtual int juce::InputStream::readIntBigEndian ( )

virtual

Reads four bytes from the stream as a big-endian 32-bit value.

If the next four bytes are byte1 to byte4, this returns (byte4 | (byte3 << 8) | (byte2 << 16) | (byte1 << 24)).

If the stream is exhausted partway through reading the bytes, this will return zero.

See also

OutputStream::writeIntBigEndian, readInt

readIntoMemoryBlock()

virtual size_t juce::InputStream::readIntoMemoryBlock ( MemoryBlock &  destBlock, ssize_t  maxNumBytesToRead = -1  )

virtual

Reads from the stream and appends the data to a MemoryBlock.

Parameters

destBlock	the block to append the data onto
maxNumBytesToRead	if this is a positive value, it sets a limit to the number of bytes that will be read - if it's negative, data will be read until the stream is exhausted.

Returns

the number of bytes that were added to the memory block

readNextLine()

virtual String juce::InputStream::readNextLine ( )

virtual

Reads a UTF-8 string from the stream, up to the next linefeed or carriage return.

This will read up to the next "\n" or "\r\n" or end-of-stream.

After this call, the stream's position will be left pointing to the next character following the line-feed, but the linefeeds aren't included in the string that is returned.

readShort()

virtual short juce::InputStream::readShort ( )

virtual

Reads two bytes from the stream as a little-endian 16-bit value.

If the next two bytes read are byte1 and byte2, this returns (byte1 | (byte2 << 8)). If the stream is exhausted partway through reading the bytes, this will return zero.

See also

OutputStream::writeShort, readShortBigEndian

readShortBigEndian()

virtual short juce::InputStream::readShortBigEndian ( )

virtual

Reads two bytes from the stream as a little-endian 16-bit value.

If the next two bytes read are byte1 and byte2, this returns (byte2 | (byte1 << 8)). If the stream is exhausted partway through reading the bytes, this will return zero.

See also

OutputStream::writeShortBigEndian, readShort

readString()

virtual String juce::InputStream::readString ( )

virtual

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 in juce::BufferedInputStream.

setPosition()

virtual bool juce::InputStream::setPosition ( int64  newPosition )

pure virtual

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

Implemented in juce::MemoryInputStream, juce::FileInputStream, juce::WebInputStream, juce::GZIPDecompressorInputStream, juce::BufferedInputStream, and juce::SubregionStream.

skipNextBytes()

virtual void juce::InputStream::skipNextBytes ( int64  numBytesToSkip )

virtual

Reads and discards a number of bytes from the stream.

Some input streams might implement this more efficiently, but the base class will just keep reading data until the requisite number of bytes have been done. For large skips it may be quicker to call setPosition() with the required position.

Reimplemented in juce::MemoryInputStream.
