Detailed Description

An abstract class that provides operations on a sequence of bytes.

Member Enumeration Documentation

◆ Position

Position in the file used for seeking.

Enumerator
Beginning 

Seek from the beginning of the file.

Current 

Seek from the current position in the file.

End 

Seek from the end of the file.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ IOStream() [1/2]

TagLib::IOStream::IOStream ( )

◆ ~IOStream()

virtual TagLib::IOStream::~IOStream ( )
virtual

Destroys this IOStream instance.

◆ IOStream() [2/2]

TagLib::IOStream::IOStream ( const IOStream )
delete

Member Function Documentation

◆ clear()

virtual void TagLib::IOStream::clear ( )
virtual

Reset the end-of-stream and error flags on the stream.

Reimplemented in TagLib::ByteVectorStream, and TagLib::FileStream.

◆ insert()

virtual void TagLib::IOStream::insert ( const ByteVector data,
offset_t  start = 0,
size_t  replace = 0 
)
pure virtual

Insert data at position start in the file overwriting replace bytes of the original content.

Note
This method is slow since it requires rewriting all of the file after the insertion point.

Implemented in TagLib::ByteVectorStream, and TagLib::FileStream.

◆ isOpen()

virtual bool TagLib::IOStream::isOpen ( ) const
pure virtual

Since the file can currently only be opened as an argument to the constructor (sort-of by design), this returns if that open succeeded.

Implemented in TagLib::ByteVectorStream, and TagLib::FileStream.

◆ length()

virtual offset_t TagLib::IOStream::length ( )
pure virtual

Returns the length of the stream.

Implemented in TagLib::ByteVectorStream, and TagLib::FileStream.

◆ name()

virtual FileName TagLib::IOStream::name ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the stream name in the local file system encoding.

Implemented in TagLib::ByteVectorStream, and TagLib::FileStream.

◆ operator=()

IOStream & TagLib::IOStream::operator= ( const IOStream )
delete

◆ readBlock()

virtual ByteVector TagLib::IOStream::readBlock ( size_t  length)
pure virtual

Reads a block of size length at the current get pointer.

Implemented in TagLib::ByteVectorStream, and TagLib::FileStream.

◆ readOnly()

virtual bool TagLib::IOStream::readOnly ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns true if the file is read only (or if the file can not be opened).

Implemented in TagLib::ByteVectorStream, and TagLib::FileStream.

◆ removeBlock()

virtual void TagLib::IOStream::removeBlock ( offset_t  start = 0,
size_t  length = 0 
)
pure virtual

Removes a block of the file starting a start and continuing for length bytes.

Note
This method is slow since it involves rewriting all of the file after the removed portion.

Implemented in TagLib::ByteVectorStream, and TagLib::FileStream.

◆ seek()

virtual void TagLib::IOStream::seek ( offset_t  offset,
Position  p = Beginning 
)
pure virtual

Move the I/O pointer to offset in the stream from position p. This defaults to seeking from the beginning of the stream.

Position

Implemented in TagLib::ByteVectorStream, and TagLib::FileStream.

◆ tell()

virtual offset_t TagLib::IOStream::tell ( ) const
pure virtual

Returns the current offset within the stream.

Implemented in TagLib::ByteVectorStream, and TagLib::FileStream.

◆ truncate()

virtual void TagLib::IOStream::truncate ( offset_t  length)
pure virtual

Truncates the stream to a length.

Implemented in TagLib::ByteVectorStream, and TagLib::FileStream.

◆ writeBlock()

virtual void TagLib::IOStream::writeBlock ( const ByteVector data)
pure virtual

Attempts to write the block data at the current get pointer. If the file is currently only opened read only – i.e. readOnly() returns true – this attempts to reopen the file in read/write mode.

Note
This should be used instead of using the streaming output operator for a ByteVector. And even this function is significantly slower than doing output with a char[].

Implemented in TagLib::ByteVectorStream, and TagLib::FileStream.
