<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
<p> The TQIODevice class is the base class of I/O devices.
<p>
<p> An I/O device represents a medium that one can read bytes from
and/or write bytes to. The TQIODevice class is the abstract
superclass of all such devices; classes such as <a href="ntqfile.html">TQFile</a>, <a href="ntqbuffer.html">TQBuffer</a> and
<a href="ntqsocket.html">TQSocket</a> inherit TQIODevice and implement virtual functions such as
write() appropriately.
<p> Although applications sometimes use TQIODevice directly, it is
usually better to use <a href="tqtextstream.html">TQTextStream</a> and <a href="ntqdatastream.html">TQDataStream</a>, which provide
stream operations on any TQIODevice subclass. TQTextStream provides
text-oriented stream functionality (for human-readable ASCII
files, for example), whereas TQDataStream deals with binary data in
a totally platform-independent manner.
<p> The public member functions in TQIODevice roughly fall into two
groups: the action functions and the state access functions. The
most important action functions are:
<p> <ul>
<p> <li> <a href="#open">open</a>() opens a device for reading and/or writing, depending on
the mode argument.
<p> <li> <a href="#close">close</a>() closes the device and tidies up (e.g. flushes buffered
data)
<p> <li> <a href="#readBlock">readBlock</a>() reads a block of data from the device.
<p> <li> <a href="#writeBlock">writeBlock</a>() writes a block of data to the device.
<p> <li> <a href="#readLine">readLine</a>() reads a line (of text, usually) from the device.
<p> <li> <a href="#flush">flush</a>() ensures that all buffered data are written to the real device.
<p> </ul>
<p> There are also some other, less used, action functions:
<p> <ul>
<p> <li> <a href="#getch">getch</a>() reads a single character.
<p> <li> <a href="#ungetch">ungetch</a>() forgets the last call to getch(), if possible.
<p> <li> <a href="#putch">putch</a>() writes a single character.
<p> <li> <a href="#size">size</a>() returns the size of the device, if there is one.
<p> <li> <a href="#at">at</a>() returns the current read/write pointer's position, if there
is one for this device, or it moves the pointer if given an offset.
<p> <li> <a href="#atEnd">atEnd</a>() indicates whether there is more to read, if this is
meaningful for this device.
<p> <li> <a href="#reset">reset</a>() moves the read/write pointer to the start of the
device, if that is possible for this device.
<p> </ul>
<p> The state access are all "get" functions. The TQIODevice subclass
calls <a href="#setState">setState</a>() to update the state, and simple access functions
tell the user of the device what the device's state is. Here are
the settings, and their associated access functions:
<p> <ul>
<p> <li> Access type. Some devices are direct access (it is possible
to read/write anywhere), whereas others are sequential. TQIODevice
provides the access functions (<a href="#isDirectAccess">isDirectAccess</a>(),
<a href="#isSequentialAccess">isSequentialAccess</a>(), and <a href="#isCombinedAccess">isCombinedAccess</a>()) to tell users what a
given I/O device supports.
<p> <li> Buffering. Some devices are accessed in raw mode, whereas
others are buffered. Buffering usually provides greater
efficiency, particularly for small read/write operations.
<a href="#isBuffered">isBuffered</a>() tells the user whether a given device is buffered.
(This can often be set by the application in the call to <a href="#open">open</a>().)
<p> <li> Synchronicity. Synchronous devices work immediately (for
example, files). When you read from a file, the file delivers its
data straight away. Other kinds of device, such as a socket
connected to a HTTP server, may not deliver the data until seconds
after you ask to read it. <a href="#isSynchronous">isSynchronous</a>() and <a href="#isAsynchronous">isAsynchronous</a>()
tell the user how this device operates.
<p> <li> CR/LF translation. For simplicity, applications often like to
see just a single CR/LF style, and TQIODevice subclasses can
provide this. <a href="#isTranslated">isTranslated</a>() returns TRUE if this object
translates CR/LF to just LF. (This can often be set by the
application in the call to open().)
<p> <li> Permissions. Some files cannot be written. For example,
<a href="#isReadable">isReadable</a>(), <a href="#isWritable">isWritable</a>() and <a href="#isReadWrite">isReadWrite</a>() tell the application
whether it can read from and write to a given device. (This can
often be set by the application in the call to <a href="#open">open</a>().)
<p> <li> Finally, <a href="#isOpen">isOpen</a>() returns TRUE if the device is open, i.e.
after an open() call.
<p> </ul>
<p> TQIODevice provides numerous pure virtual functions that you need
to implement when subclassing it. Here is a skeleton subclass with
all the members you are sure to need and some that you will
probably need:
<p> <pre>
class MyDevice : public TQIODevice
{
public:
MyDevice();
~MyDevice();
bool open( int mode );
void close();
void flush();
uint size() const;
int at() const; // non-pure virtual
bool at( int ); // non-pure virtual
bool atEnd() const; // non-pure virtual
int readBlock( char *data, uint maxlen );
int writeBlock( const char *data, uint len );
int readLine( char *data, uint maxlen );
int getch();
int putch( int );
int ungetch( int );
};
</pre>
<p> The three non-pure virtual functions need not be reimplemented for
sequential devices.
