#include <rw/estream.h>
// Construct an RWeostream that uses cout's streambuf,
//   and writes out values in little-endian format:
RWeostream estr(cout, RWeostream::LittleEndian);

Class RWeostream specializes the base class RWbostream to store values in a portable binary format. The results can be restored via its counterpart, RWeistream.

See the entry for RWeistream for a general description of the endian stream classes.

None.

See RWeistream for an example of how the file "data.dat" might be read.

#include <rw/estream.h>
#include <fstream.h>

main()
{
 ofstream fstr("data.dat");                        // Open an output file
 RWeostream estr(fstr);                // Construct an RWeostream from it
                          // (For DOS: RWeistream estr(fstr, ios::binary)
 int i = 5;
 float f = 22.1;
 double d = -0.05;

 estr << i;                            // Store an int, float, and double
 estr << f << d;                       //  using the native endian format
}

enum RWeostream::Endian { LittleEndian,
                          BigEndian, 
                          HostEndian }

Used to specify the format that RWeostreams should use to represent numeric values in the stream. HostEndian means to use the native format of the current environment.

RWeostream(streambuf* s, Endian fmt = HostEndian);

Construct an RWeostream from the streambuf s. Values placed into the stream will have an endian format given by fmt. For DOS, the streambuf must have been created in binary mode. Throw exception RWStreamErr if streambuf s is not empty.

RWeostream(ostream& str, Endian fmt = HostEndian);

Construct an RWeostream from the streambuf associated with the output stream str. Values placed into the stream will have an endian format given by fmt. For DOS, the str must have been opened in binary mode. Throw exception RWStreamErr if streambuf s is not empty.

virtual ~RWvostream();

This virtual destructor allows specializing classes to deallocate any resources that they may have allocated.

virtual RWvostream&
flush();

Send the contents of the stream buffer to output immediately.

virtual RWvostream&
operator<<(const char* s);

virtual RWvostream&
operator<<(unsigned char c);

Redefined from class RWbostream. Store the unsigned char c to the output stream. Note that c is treated as a character, not a number.

virtual RWvostream&
operator<<(double d);
