NAME¶
istreamb, ostreamb, iostreamb - unformatted streams
SYNOPSIS¶
#include <Dispatch/iostreamb.h>
DESCRIPTION¶
istreamb, ostreamb, and iostreamb are streams just like istream, ostream, and
iostream except for two features. First, they automatically insert and extract
delimiters around datums where necessary so you never have to separate datums
by whitespace yourself. Second, they can insert and extract integers as either
unformatted (binary) bytes or formatted characters so you can eliminate the
time needed to convert integers to strings and back. Both of these features
make these classes easier to use than the base stream classes for
inter-process communication (IPC).
