Stream Classes
The Essential Tools Module Virtual Stream Classes let you perform streaming operations such as transferring information between operating systems with the efficiency of a binary stream. The endian streams mechanism, which keeps a record of the operating environment where information originates, allows the stream to be read on any system regardless of its native size or byte order.
Virtual Stream Classes lists the Virtual Stream Classes. This section provides information on using some of these classes; the SourcePro API Reference provides detailed information on each class in this class group.
