<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
The TQBuffer class is an I/O device that operates on a <a href="qbytearray.html">TQByteArray</a>.
<p>
<p> TQBuffer is used to read and write to a memory buffer. It is
normally used with a <a href="ntqtextstream.html">TQTextStream</a> or a <a href="ntqdatastream.html">TQDataStream</a>. TQBuffer has an
associated TQByteArray which holds the buffer data. The <a href="ntqiodevice.html#size">size</a>() of
the buffer is automatically adjusted as data is written.
<p> The constructor <tt>TQBuffer(TQByteArray)</tt> creates a TQBuffer using an
existing byte array. The byte array can also be set with
<a href="#setBuffer">setBuffer</a>(). Writing to the TQBuffer will modify the original byte
array because TQByteArray is <a href="shclass.html">explicitly
shared.</a>
<p> Use <a href="ntqiodevice.html#open">open</a>() to open the buffer before use and to set the mode
(read-only, write-only, etc.). <a href="ntqiodevice.html#close">close</a>() closes the buffer. The
buffer must be closed before reopening or calling setBuffer().
<p> A common way to use TQBuffer is through <a href="ntqdatastream.html">TQDataStream</a> or <a href="ntqtextstream.html">TQTextStream</a>, which have constructors that take a TQBuffer
parameter. For convenience, there are also TQDataStream and
<a href="ntqtextstream.html">TQTextStream</a> constructors that take a <a href="qbytearray.html">TQByteArray</a> parameter. These
constructors create and open an internal TQBuffer.
<p> Note that TQTextStream can also operate on a <a href="tqstring.html">TQString</a> (a Unicode
string); a TQBuffer cannot.
<p> You can also use TQBuffer directly through the standard <a href="ntqiodevice.html">TQIODevice</a>
functions <a href="ntqiodevice.html#readBlock">readBlock</a>(), <a href="#writeBlock">writeBlock</a>() <a href="ntqiodevice.html#readLine">readLine</a>(), <a href="ntqiodevice.html#at">at</a>(), <a href="ntqiodevice.html#getch">getch</a>(),
<a href="ntqiodevice.html#putch">putch</a>() and <a href="ntqiodevice.html#ungetch">ungetch</a>().
<p> <p>See also <a href="ntqfile.html">TQFile</a>, <a href="ntqdatastream.html">TQDataStream</a>, <a href="ntqtextstream.html">TQTextStream</a>, <a href="qbytearray.html">TQByteArray</a>, <a href="shclass.html">Shared Classes</a>, <a href="collection.html">Collection Classes</a>, and <a href="io.html">Input/Output and Networking</a>.
<hr><h2>Member Function Documentation</h2>
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQBuffer"></a>TQBuffer::TQBuffer ()
</h3>
Constructs an empty buffer.
<h3 class=fn><a name="TQBuffer-2"></a>TQBuffer::TQBuffer ( <a href="qbytearray.html">TQByteArray</a>&nbsp;buf )
</h3>
Constructs a buffer that operates on <em>buf</em>.
<p> If you open the buffer in write mode (<a href="ntqfile.html#open"><a href="ntqfile.html#open">IO_WriteOnly</a></a> or
<a href="ntqfile.html#open">IO_ReadWrite</a>) and write something into the buffer, <em>buf</em>
will be modified.
<p> Example:
<pre>
<a href="ntqcstring.html">TQCString</a> str = "abc";
TQBuffer b( str );
b.<a href="ntqiodevice.html#open">open</a>( IO_WriteOnly );
b.<a href="ntqiodevice.html#at">at</a>( 3 ); // position at the 4th character (the terminating \0)
b.<a href="#writeBlock">writeBlock</a>( "def", 4 ); // write "def" including the terminating \0
b.<a href="ntqiodevice.html#close">close</a>();
// Now, str == "abcdef" with a terminating \0
</pre>
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setBuffer">setBuffer</a>().
<h3 class=fn><a name="~TQBuffer"></a>TQBuffer::~TQBuffer ()
</h3>
Destroys the buffer.
<h3 class=fn><a href="qbytearray.html">TQByteArray</a> <a name="buffer"></a>TQBuffer::buffer () const
</h3>
<p> Returns this buffer's byte array.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#setBuffer">setBuffer</a>().
<h3 class=fn>bool <a name="setBuffer"></a>TQBuffer::setBuffer ( <a href="qbytearray.html">TQByteArray</a>&nbsp;buf )
</h3>
Replaces the buffer's contents with <em>buf</em> and returns TRUE.
<p> Does nothing (and returns FALSE) if <a href="ntqiodevice.html#isOpen">isOpen</a>() is TRUE.
<p> Note that if you open the buffer in write mode (<a href="ntqfile.html#open"><a href="ntqfile.html#open">IO_WriteOnly</a></a> or
<a href="ntqfile.html#open">IO_ReadWrite</a>) and write something into the buffer, <em>buf</em> is also
modified because <a href="qbytearray.html">TQByteArray</a> is an <a href="shclass.html#explicitly-shared">explicitly shared</a> class.
<p> <p>See also <a href="#buffer">buffer</a>(), <a href="ntqiodevice.html#open">open</a>(), and <a href="ntqiodevice.html#close">close</a>().
<h3 class=fn>TQ_LONG <a name="writeBlock"></a>TQBuffer::writeBlock ( const&nbsp;char&nbsp;*&nbsp;p, TQ_ULONG&nbsp;len )<tt> [virtual]</tt>
</h3>
Writes <em>len</em> bytes from <em>p</em> into the buffer at the current
index position, overwriting any characters there and extending the
buffer if necessary. Returns the number of bytes actually written.
<p> Returns -1 if an error occurred.
<p> <p>See also <a href="ntqiodevice.html#readBlock">readBlock</a>().
<p>Reimplemented from <a href="ntqiodevice.html#writeBlock">TQIODevice</a>.
<h3 class=fn>TQ_LONG <a name="writeBlock-2"></a>TQBuffer::writeBlock ( const&nbsp;<a href="qbytearray.html">TQByteArray</a>&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;data )
</h3>
This is an overloaded member function, provided for convenience. It behaves essentially like the above function.
<p> This convenience function is the same as calling
<tt>writeBlock( data.data(), data.size() )</tt> with <em>data</em>.
