RWvistream
#include <rw/bstream.h>
RWbistream bstr(cin); // Construct an RWbistream,
// using cin's streambuf
Class RWbistream specializes the abstract base class RWvistream to restore variables stored in binary format by RWbostream.
You can think of it as a binary veneer over an associated streambuf. Because the RWbistream retains no information about the state of its associated streambuf, its use can be freely exchanged with other users of the streambuf (such as an istream or ifstream).
RWbistream can be interrogated as to the stream state using member functions good(), bad(), eof(), etc.
None
See RWbostream for an example of how the file "data.dat" might be created.
#include <rw/bstream.h>
#include <fstream.h>
main(){
ifstream fstr("data.dat"); // Open an input file
RWbistream bstr(fstr); // Construct RWbistream from it
int i;
float f;
double d;
bstr >> i; // Restore an int that was stored in binary
bstr >> f >> d; // Restore a float & double
}
RWbistream(streambuf* s);
Construct an RWbistream from the streambuf s. For DOS, this streambuf must have been opened in binary mode.
RWbistream(istream& str);
Construct an RWbistream using the streambuf associated with the istream str. For DOS, the streambuf must have been opened in binary mode. This can be done by specifying ios::binary as part of the second argument to the constructor for and ifstream. Using the example above, the line to create the ifstream would read, ifstream fstr("data.dat", ios::in | ios::binary); where the "|" is the binary OR operator.

virtual RWvistream& getString(char* s, size_t N);
Redefined from class RWvistream. Restores a character string from the input stream and stores it in the array beginning at s. The function stops reading at the end of the string or after N-1 characters, whichever comes first. If N-1 characters have been read and the Nth character is not the string terminator, then the failbit of the stream will be set. In either case, the string will be terminated with a null byte.

Redefined from class RWvistream. Restores a wide character string from the input stream and stores it in the array beginning at ws. The function stops reading at the end of the string or after N-1 characters, whichever comes first.
