RWbistream - Rogue Wave library class

As shipped in IRIX 6.5.15. Unchanged since IRIX 6.5.

Name
     RWbistream - Rogue Wave library class

Synopsis
              #include <rw/bstream.h>



              RWbistream bstr(cin);        // Construct an RWbistream,
                                       // using cin's streambuf




Description
     Class RWbistream specializes the abstract base class RWvistream to
     restore variables stored in binary format by RWbostream.  You can think
     of it as a binary veneer over an associated streambuf.  Because the
     RWbistream retains no information about the state of its associated
     streambuf, its use can be freely exchanged with other users of the
     streambuf (such as an istream or ifstream).  RWbistream can be
     interrogated as to the stream state using member functions good(), bad(),
     eof(), etc.

Persistence
     None

Example
     See RWbostream for an example of how the file "data.dat" might be
     created.

              #include <rw/bstream.h>
          #include <fstream.h>
          main(){
            ifstream fstr("data.dat");    // Open an input file
            RWbistream bstr(fstr);     // Construct RWbistream from it
            int i;
            float f;
            double d;
            bstr >> i;         // Restore an int that was stored in binary
            bstr >> f >> d;    // Restore a float & double
          }


Public Constructors
              RWbistream(streambuf* s);


     Construct an RWbistream from the streambuf s.  For DOS, this streambuf
     must have been opened in binary mode.

              RWbistream(istream& str);


     Construct an RWbistream using the streambuf associated with the istream
     str.  For DOS, the streambuf must have been opened in binary mode.  This
     can be done by specifying ios::binary as part of the second argument to
     the constructor for and ifstream.  Using the example above, the line to
     create the ifstream would read, ifstream fstr("data.dat", ios::in |
     ios::binary); where the "|" is the binary OR operator.

     byte.
