Description

ReadIdent is called by the streaming system if it expects to read an identifier of type ValueType from the stream after a call to ReadValue returned vaIdent. The identifier should be returned as a string. Note that in some cases the identifier does not actually have to be in the stream. The following table indicates which identifiers must actually be read:

ValueType Expected value
vaIdent Read from stream.
vaNil 'Nil'. This does not have to be read from the stream.
vaFalse 'False'. This does not have to be read from the stream.
vaTrue 'True'. This does not have to be read from the stream.
vaNull 'Null'. This does not have to be read from the stream.
