Detailed Description

Implementation of input stream based on a file.

This class is a specialization of InputStream that reads from a file on disk.

It wraps a file in the common InputStream interface and therefore allows to use generic classes or functions that accept such a stream, with a file on disk as the data source.

In addition to the virtual functions inherited from InputStream, FileInputStream adds a function to specify the file to open.

SFML resource classes can usually be loaded directly from a filename, so this class shouldn't be useful to you unless you create your own algorithms that operate on an InputStream.

Usage example:

void process(InputStream& stream);
 
FileInputStream stream;
if (stream.open("some_file.dat"))
   process(stream);

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

FileInputStream()

sf::FileInputStream::FileInputStream

(

)

Default constructor.

~FileInputStream()

virtual sf::FileInputStream::~FileInputStream ( )

virtual

Default destructor.

Member Function Documentation

getSize()

virtual Int64 sf::FileInputStream::getSize ( )

virtual

Return the size of the stream.

Returns

The total number of bytes available in the stream, or -1 on error

Implements sf::InputStream.

open()

bool sf::FileInputStream::open

(

const std::string &

filename

)

Open the stream from a file path.

Parameters

filename

Name of the file to open

Returns

True on success, false on error

read()

virtual Int64 sf::FileInputStream::read ( void * data, Int64 size )

virtual

Read data from the stream.

After reading, the stream's reading position must be advanced by the amount of bytes read.

Parameters

data	Buffer where to copy the read data
size	Desired number of bytes to read

Returns

The number of bytes actually read, or -1 on error

Implements sf::InputStream.

seek()

virtual Int64 sf::FileInputStream::seek ( Int64 position )

virtual

Change the current reading position.

Parameters

position

The position to seek to, from the beginning

Returns

The position actually sought to, or -1 on error

Implements sf::InputStream.

tell()

virtual Int64 sf::FileInputStream::tell ( )

virtual

Get the current reading position in the stream.

Returns

The current position, or -1 on error.

Implements sf::InputStream.
