Prerequisite

BaseSinkSource class
TypeIO class and derived classes

Etymology

A source is the place where bytes are read from.

Synopsis

ByteSource provides read-only access to a typed byte stream in the AIPS++ IO framework. The base class BaseSinkSource contains common functions like seek.

The object is constructed using a typed byte stream. This stream is an instance of a class derived from class TypeIO . This makes it possible to read the data in any format (e.g. CanonicalIO or RawIO).
In its turn TypeIO uses an instance of a class derived from class ByteIO . This makes it possible to use any input stream (e.g. file, memory).

Example

       // Construct the correct input stream.
       RegularFileIO filio ("file.name");
       CanonicalIO canio (&filio);
       ByteSource source (&canio);
       // Read data.
       Int vali;
       Bool flag;
       source >> vali >> flag;

Motivation

This class makes it possible to deny write-access to an IO stream.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

casa::ByteSource::ByteSource ( )

Default constructor.

This creates an invalid object, but is present for convenience.

casa::ByteSource::ByteSource	(	TypeIO *	typeIO,
		Bool	takeOver = `False`
	)

Construct from given TypeIO object.

The constructor does not copy the object, but only keeps a pointer to it. If takeOver is true the this class will delete the supplied pointer. Otherwise the caller is responsible for this.

casa::ByteSource::ByteSource ( const ByteSource & source )

The copy constructor uses reference semantics.

casa::ByteSource::~ByteSource ( )

destructor

Member Function Documentation

ByteSource& casa::ByteSource::operator= ( const ByteSource & source )

The assignment operator uses reference semantics.

ByteSource& casa::ByteSource::operator>> ( Bool & value )

These functions read one value of the given type.

If this function does not succeed, an exception will be thrown.
