Detailed Description

This class implements the InputStream interface for reading bytes from another InputStream while applying a transformation.

Note
stream classes are not designed to be accessed from multiple threads; they have been implemented without locking for fast and efficient use when used from a single thread. For methods that would be unsafe to use in another thread, any use of such methods in threads other than the thread where the constructor was called will cause a STREAM-THREAD-ERROR to be thrown, unless the stream is handed off to another thread using the StreamBase::unassignThread() method in the thread that currently owns the stream, and the StreamBase::reassignThread() method in the new thread.

Member Function Documentation

◆ constructor()

Qore::TransformInputStream::constructor ( Qore::InputStream  is,
Qore::Transform  t 
)

Creates the TransformInputStream.

Parameters
isthe underlying InputStream where the data to transform will be read from
tthe transformation to apply

◆ peek()

int Qore::TransformInputStream::peek ( )
virtual

Peeks the next byte available from the input stream; returns -1 if no more data available.

Returns
the next byte available from the input stream or -1 if no more data is available
Example:
int nextByte = transformStream.peek();
Exceptions
STREAM-THREAD-ERRORthis exception is thrown if this method is called from any thread other than the thread that created the object

Implements Qore::InputStream.

◆ read()

*binary Qore::TransformInputStream::read ( int  limit)
virtual

Reads bytes (up to a specified limit) from the input stream; returns NOTHING if there are no more bytes in the stream.

Parameters
limitthe maximum number of bytes to read
Returns
the read bytes (the length is between 1 and `limit` inclusive) or NOTHING if no more bytes are available
Exceptions
INPUT-STREAM-ERRORlimit is not positive
STREAM-THREAD-ERRORthis exception is thrown if this method is called from any thread other than the thread that created the object

Implements Qore::InputStream.
