Class Description

See also

Class AppLoad, Class AppDataChunk, Class CharacterStrings.

Description:

This class is a general chunk-ifying code useful for writing hierarchical data structures to a linear stream, such as an AppData block.

All methods of this class are implemented by the system.

AppSave will write hierarchical chunks into a private buffer, enlarging it as needed. When completed, use the methods BufferPtr() and NBytesWritten() to get at this buffer. (AppSave will delete the buffer in its DeleteThis() method , so you need to copy the buffer to save the data.)

The chunk hierarchy should always have a single highest level chunk. Chunks can be nested to any depth.

A Chunk can contain either sub-chunks, or data, but not both.

Sample Code:

AppSave *asave = NewAppSave(1000);
asave->BeginChunk(MAIN_CHUNK);
asave->BeginChunk(CHUNK1);
// .. write data
asave->EndChunk();
 
asave->BeginChunk(CHUNK2);
// .. write data
asave->EndChunk();
 
asave->BeginChunk(CHUNK3);
// .. write data
asave->EndChunk();
asave->EndChunk(); // end MAIN_CHUNK
