## Detailed Description

An implementation of BufferedInputStream that allows for high-level data manipulation of arbitrary data (including binary operations).

Since glibmm 2.16:

## Constructor & Destructor Documentation

virtual Gio::DataInputStream::~DataInputStream | ( |  | ) | `[virtual]`

Gio::DataInputStream::DataInputStream | ( | const Glib::RefPtr<InputStream>& | base_stream | ) | `[explicit, protected]`

## Member Function Documentation

GDataInputStream* Gio::DataInputStream::gobj | ( |  | ) | `[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Gio::BufferedInputStream.

const GDataInputStream* Gio::DataInputStream::gobj | ( |  | ) | const`[inline]`

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Reimplemented from Gio::BufferedInputStream.

GDataInputStream* Gio::DataInputStream::gobj_copy | ( |  | ) |

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

Reimplemented from Gio::BufferedInputStream.

static Glib::RefPtr<DataInputStream> Gio::DataInputStream::create | ( | const Glib::RefPtr<InputStream>& | base_stream | ) | `[static]`

Reimplemented from Gio::BufferedInputStream.

void Gio::DataInputStream::set_byte_order | ( | DataStreamByteOrder | order | ) |

This function sets the byte order for the given stream.

All subsequent reads from the stream will be read in the given order.

Parameters:

  | order | A DataStreamByteOrder to set.

DataStreamByteOrder Gio::DataInputStream::get_byte_order | ( |  | ) | const

Gets the byte order for the data input stream.

void Gio::DataInputStream::set_newline_type | ( | DataStreamNewlineType | type | ) |

Sets the newline type for the stream.

Note that using G_DATA_STREAM_NEWLINE_TYPE_ANY is slightly unsafe. If a read chunk ends in "CR" we must read an additional byte to know if this is "CR" or "CR LF", and this might block if there is no more data availible.

Parameters:

  | type | The type of new line return as DataStreamNewlineType.
