BloombergLP::bslx::ByteInStream

This class provides input methods to unexternalize values, and C-style arrays of values, of the fundamental integral and floating-point types, as well as bsl::string values, using a byte format documented in the bslx_byteoutstream component. In particular, each get method of this class is guaranteed to read stream data written by the corresponding put method of bslx::ByteOutStream. Note that attempting to read beyond the end of a stream will automatically invalidate the stream. See the bslx package-level documentation for the definition of the BDEX InStream protocol.

~ByteInStream [destructor]Destroy this object.
cursor Return the index of the next byte to be extracted from this stream.

operator void const* Return a non-zero value if this stream is valid, and 0 otherwise. An invalid stream is a stream for which an input operation was detected to have failed.
