Detailed Description

Stream functionality.

This class provides some standard stream functionality for developers working in C++ or script. Write methods are provided for writing to ASCII or binary. Read methods are only binary.

Member Function Documentation

MStatus writeChar ( std::ostream &  out, const char  value, bool  binary = false  )

static

This method is used to write out a "char" value to an ostream.

Parameters

[in]	out	the output ostream
[in]	value	value to write out
[in]	binary	If true, the byte(s) of value are written out. If false, the string representation is written out.

Returns

• MS::kSuccess write worked
• MS::kFailure stream failed to write value

MStatus writeCharBuffer ( std::ostream &  out, const char *  value, bool  binary = false  )

static

This method is used to write out a mull-terminated string (const char*) to an ostream.

Parameters

[in]	out	the output ostream
[in]	value	string to write out
[in]	binary	If true, the byte(s) of the value string are written out. If false, the string representation is written out.

Returns

• MS::kSuccess write worked
• MS::kFailure value is NULL or stream failed to write value

MStatus writeInt ( std::ostream &  out, const int  value, bool  binary = false  )

static

This method is used to write out a "int" value to an ostream.

Parameters

[in]	out	the output ostream
[in]	value	value to write out
[in]	binary	If true, the byte(s) of value are written out. If false, the string representation is written out.

Returns

• MS::kSuccess write worked
• MS::kFailure stream failed to write value

MStatus writeFloat ( std::ostream &  out, const float  value, bool  binary = false  )

static

This method is used to write out a "float" value to an ostream.

Parameters

[in]	out	the output ostream
[in]	value	value to write out
[in]	binary	If true, the byte(s) of value are written out. If false, the string representation is written out.

Returns

• MS::kSuccess write worked
• MS::kFailure stream failed to write value

MStatus writeDouble ( std::ostream &  out, const double  value, bool  binary = false  )

static

This method is used to write out a "double" value to an ostream.

Parameters

[in]	out	the output ostream
[in]	value	value to write out
[in]	binary	If true, the byte(s) of value are written out. If false, the string representation is written out.

Returns

• MS::kSuccess write worked
• MS::kFailure stream failed to write value

MStatus readChar ( std::istream &  in, char &  value, bool  binary = false  )

static

This method is used to read a "char" binary value from an istream.

Parameters

[in]	in	the input istream
[out]	value	where the input is stored
[in]	binary	if true the value appears in the input stream in binary form, otherwise it is in string form

Returns

• MS::kSuccess read worked
• MS::kFailure stream failed to read value

MStatus readCharBuffer ( std::istream &  in, char *&  value, unsigned int  length, bool  binary = false  )

static

This method is used to read a character string (char*) from an istream.

Parameters

[in]	in	the input istream
[out]	value	where the input is stored
[in]	length	number of characters to read
[in]	binary	if true the value appears in the input stream in binary form, otherwise it is in string form

Returns

• MS::kSuccess read worked
• MS::kFailure value is NULL or stream failed to read value

MStatus readInt ( std::istream &  in, int &  value, bool  binary = false  )

static

This method is used to read a "int" binary value from an istream.

Parameters

[in]	in	the input istream
[out]	value	where the input is stored
[in]	binary	if true the value appears in the input stream in binary form, otherwise it is in string form

Returns

• MS::kSuccess read worked
• MS::kFailure stream failed to read value

MStatus readFloat ( std::istream &  in, float &  value, bool  binary = false  )

static

This method is used to read a "float" binary value from an istream.

Parameters

[in]	in	the input istream
[out]	value	where the input is stored
[in]	binary	if true the value appears in the input stream in binary form, otherwise it is in string form

Returns

• MS::kSuccess read worked
• MS::kFailure stream failed to read value

MStatus readDouble ( std::istream &  in, double &  value, bool  binary = false  )

static

This method is used to read a "double" binary value from an istream.

Parameters

[in]	in	the input istream
[out]	value	where the input is stored
[in]	binary	if true the value appears in the input stream in binary form, otherwise it is in string form

Returns

• MS::kSuccess read worked
• MS::kFailure stream failed to read value
