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(thePtr, theSize);
process(stream);
Abstract class for custom file input streams.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ MemoryInputStream()

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

Construct the stream from its data.

Parameters
dataPointer to the data in memory
sizeInBytesSize of the data, in bytes

Member Function Documentation

◆ getSize()

std::optional< std::size_t > sf::MemoryInputStream::getSize ( )
overridevirtual

Return the size of the stream.

Returns
The total number of bytes available in the stream, or std::nullopt on error

Implements sf::InputStream.

◆ read()

std::optional< std::size_t > sf::MemoryInputStream::read ( void * data,
std::size_t size )
nodiscardoverridevirtual

Read data from the stream.

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

Parameters
dataBuffer where to copy the read data
sizeDesired number of bytes to read
Returns
The number of bytes actually read, or std::nullopt on error

Implements sf::InputStream.

◆ seek()

std::optional< std::size_t > sf::MemoryInputStream::seek ( std::size_t position)
nodiscardoverridevirtual

Change the current reading position.

Parameters
positionThe position to seek to, from the beginning
Returns
The position actually sought to, or std::nullopt on error

Implements sf::InputStream.

◆ tell()

std::optional< std::size_t > sf::MemoryInputStream::tell ( )
nodiscardoverridevirtual

Get the current reading position in the stream.

Returns
The current position, or std::nullopt on error.

Implements sf::InputStream.
