Inheritance

TObject

  

Base class of all classes.

Description

TStream is the base class for all streaming classes. It defines methods for reading, writing from and to streams, as well as functions to determine the size of the stream as well as the current position of the stream.

Descendant classes such as TMemoryStream or TFileStream then override these methods to write streams to memory or file.

See also

TMemoryStream

  

Standard implementation of a stream that stores its data in memory

TFileStream

  

Stream that stores its data in a named file on disk.

TStringStream
