CL_OutputSource3

Interface to write data to different types of output sources.

Overview

CL_OutputSource is used to write data to different types of input sources. In most cases, this is regular files and ClanLib zlib compressed datafiles.

To access some system specific output source types, such as datafiles and regular ones, use the static create functions in the CL_OutputSourceProvider class.

Members with descriptions

virtual ~CL_OutputSource(): Description:

virtual void set_system_mode(): Description:

Changes output data endianess to the local systems mode.

virtual void set_big_endian_mode(): Description:

Changes output data endianess to big endian mode.

virtual void set_little_endian_mode(): Description:

Changes output data endianess to little endian mode. This is the default setting.

virtual void write_int32(: int data)

Description:

Writes a signed 32 bit integer to output source.

virtual void write_uint32(: unsigned int data)

Description:

Writes a unsigned 32 bit integer to output source.

virtual void write_short16(: short data)

Description:

Writes a signed 16 bit integer (short) to output source.

virtual void write_ushort16(: unsigned short data)

Description:

Writes a unsigned 16 bit integer (short) to output source.

virtual void write_char8(: char data)

Description:

Writes a signed 8 bit integer (char) to output source.

virtual void write_uchar8(: unsigned char data)

Description:

Writes a unsigned 8 bit integer (char) to output source.

virtual void write_float32(: float data)

Description:

Writes a ieee format floating point to output source.

virtual int write(

const void *data,
int size)

Parameters:
data - Points to the array written.
size - Number of bytes to write.

Description:

Writes larger amounts of data (no endian and 64 bit conversion):

Return value:

Num bytes actually written.

virtual void open(): Description:

Opens the output source. By default, it is open.

virtual void close(): Description:

Closes the output source.

virtual CL_OutputSource *clone()

Description:

Make a copy of the current OutputSource, standing at the same position.

Return value:

The copy of the output source.

virtual int tell()

Description:

Returns current position in output source.

Return value:

Current position in source.

virtual int size()

Description:

Returns the size of the output source

Return value:

Current size of output source.

virtual void write_string(: const char *string)

Description:

Writes a string to the output source.
