Detailed Description

Implementation of input stream based on a memory chunk.

This class is a specialization of InputStream that reads from data in memory.

It wraps a memory chunk in the common InputStream interface and therefore allows to use generic classes or functions that accept such a stream, with content already loaded in memory.

In addition to the virtual functions inherited from InputStream, MemoryInputStream adds a function to specify the pointer and size of the data in memory.

SFML resource classes can usually be loaded directly from memory, so this class shouldn't be useful to you unless you create your own algorithms that operate on an InputStream.

Usage example:

void process(InputStream& stream);
 
MemoryInputStream stream;
stream.open(thePtr, theSize);
process(stream);

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

MemoryInputStream()

sf::MemoryInputStream::MemoryInputStream

(

)

Default constructor.

Member Function Documentation

getSize()

virtual Int64 sf::MemoryInputStream::getSize ( )

virtual

Return the size of the stream.

Returns

The total number of bytes available in the stream, or -1 on error

Implements sf::InputStream.

open()

void sf::MemoryInputStream::open	(	const void *	data,
		std::size_t	sizeInBytes
	)

Open the stream from its data.

Parameters

data	Pointer to the data in memory
sizeInBytes	Size of the data, in bytes

read()

virtual Int64 sf::MemoryInputStream::read ( void *  data, Int64  size  )

virtual

Read data from the stream.

After reading, the stream's reading position must be advanced by the amount of bytes read.

Parameters

data	Buffer where to copy the read data
size	Desired number of bytes to read

Returns

The number of bytes actually read, or -1 on error

Implements sf::InputStream.

seek()

virtual Int64 sf::MemoryInputStream::seek ( Int64  position )

virtual

Change the current reading position.

Parameters

position

The position to seek to, from the beginning

Returns

The position actually sought to, or -1 on error

Implements sf::InputStream.

tell()

virtual Int64 sf::MemoryInputStream::tell ( )

virtual

Get the current reading position in the stream.

Returns

The current position, or -1 on error.

Implements sf::InputStream.
