The Essential Tools Module Virtual Stream Classes let you perform streaming operations such as transferring information between operating systems with the efficiency of a binary stream. The endian streams mechanism, which keeps a record of the operating environment where information originates, allows the stream to be read on any system regardless of its native size or byte order.
Table 6 lists the Virtual Stream Classes. This chapter provides information on using some of these classes; the SourcePro API Reference Guide provides detailed information on each class in this class group.
The later sections in this chapter discuss these classes, and the SourcePro API Reference Guide provides detailed information on each class in this class group.
