The QIODevice class is the abstract superclass of all such devices; classes like QFile, QBuffer and QSocket inherit QIODevice and implement virtual functions like write() appropriately. While applications sometimes use QIODevice directly, mostly it is better to go through QTextStream and QDataStream, which provide stream operations on any QIODevice subclass. QTextStream provides text-oriented stream functionality (for human-readable ASCII files, for example), while QDataStream deals with binary data in a totally platform-independent manner. The public member functions in QIODevice roughly fall into two groups: The action functions and the state access functions. The most important action functions are: There are also some other, less used, action functions: The state access are all "get" functions. The QIODevice subclass calls setState() to update the state, and simple access functions tell the user of the device what the device's state is. Here are the settings, and their associated access functions: QIODevice provides numerous pure virtual functions you need to implement when subclassing it. Here is a skeleton subclass with all the members you are certain to need, and some it's likely that you will need: \code class YourDevice : public QIODevice { public: YourDevice(); ~YourDevice(); bool open( int mode ); void close(); void flush(); uint size() const; int at() const; // not a pure virtual function bool at( int ); // not a pure virtual function bool atEnd() const; // not a pure virtual function int readBlock( char *data, uint maxlen ); int writeBlock( const char *data, uint len ); int readLine( char *data, uint maxlen ); int getch(); int putch( int ); int ungetch( int ); }; \endcode The three non-pure virtual functions can be ignored if your device is sequential (e.g. an RS-232 port). \sa QDataStream, QTextStream */ /*!
