\section{\class{wxDataInputStream}}\label{wxdatainputstream}
This class provides functions that read binary data types in a
portable way. Data can be read in either big-endian or litte-endian
format, little-endian being the default on all architectures.
If you want to read data from text files (or streams) use
\helpref{wxTextInputStream}{wxtextinputstream} instead.
The >> operator is overloaded and you can use this class like a standard C++ iostream.
Note, however, that the arguments are the fixed size types wxUint32, wxInt32 etc
and on a typical 32-bit computer, none of these match to the "long" type (wxInt32
is defined as signed int on 32-bit architectures) so that you cannot use long. To avoid
problems (here and elsewhere), make use of the wxInt32, wxUint32, etc types.
For example:
\begin{verbatim}
wxFileInputStream input( "mytext.dat" );
wxDataInputStream store( input );
wxUint8 i1;
float f2;
wxString line;
store >> i1; // read a 8 bit integer.
store >> i1 >> f2; // read a 8 bit integer followed by float.
store >> line; // read a text line
\end{verbatim}

\membersection{wxDataInputStream::wxDataInputStream}\label{wxdatainputstreamconstr}
\func{}{wxDataInputStream}{\param{wxInputStream\&}{ stream}}
Constructs a datastream object from an input stream. Only read methods will
be available.
\wxheading{Parameters}
\docparam{stream}{The input stream.}
\membersection{wxDataInputStream::\destruct{wxDataInputStream}}
\func{}{\destruct{wxDataInputStream}}{\void}
Destroys the wxDataInputStream object.
\membersection{wxDataInputStream::BigEndianOrdered}
\func{void}{BigEndianOrdered}{\param{bool}{ be\_order}}
If {\it be\_order} is TRUE, all data will be read in big-endian
order, such as written by programs on a big endian architecture
(e.g. Sparc) or written by Java-Streams (which always use
big-endian order).
\membersection{wxDataInputStream::Read8}
\func{wxUint8}{Read8}{\void}
Reads a single byte from the stream.
\membersection{wxDataInputStream::Read16}
\func{wxUint16}{Read16}{\void}
Reads a 16 bit integer from the stream.
\membersection{wxDataInputStream::Read32}
\func{wxUint32}{Read32}{\void}
Reads a 32 bit integer from the stream.
\membersection{wxDataInputStream::ReadDouble}
\func{double}{ReadDouble}{\void}
Reads a double (IEEE encoded) from the stream.
\membersection{wxDataInputStream::ReadString}
\func{wxString}{wxDataInputStream::ReadString}{\void}
Reads a string from a stream. Actually, this function first reads a long integer
specifying the length of the string (without the last null character) and then
reads the string.

\section{\class{wxDataOutputStream}}\label{wxdataoutputstream}
This class provides functions that write binary data types in a
portable way. Data can be written in either big-endian or litte-endian
format, little-endian being the default on all architectures.
If you want to write data to text files (or streams) use
\helpref{wxTextOutputStream}{wxtextoutputstream} instead.
The << operator is overloaded and you can use this class like a standard
C++ iostream. See \helpref{wxDataInputStream}{wxdatainputstream} for its
usage and caveats.
See also \helpref{wxDataInputStream}{wxdatainputstream}.

\membersection{wxDataOutputStream::wxDataOutputStream}\label{wxdataoutputstreamconstr}
\func{}{wxDataOutputStream}{\param{wxOutputStream\&}{ stream}}
Constructs a datastream object from an output stream. Only write methods will
be available.
\wxheading{Parameters}
\docparam{stream}{The output stream.}
\membersection{wxDataOutputStream::\destruct{wxDataOutputStream}}
\func{}{\destruct{wxDataOutputStream}}{\void}
Destroys the wxDataOutputStream object.
\membersection{wxDataOutputStream::BigEndianOrdered}
\func{void}{BigEndianOrdered}{\param{bool}{ be\_order}}
If {\it be\_order} is TRUE, all data will be written in big-endian
order, e.g. for reading on a Sparc or from Java-Streams (which
always use big-endian order), otherwise data will be written in
little-endian order.
\membersection{wxDataOutputStream::Write8}
\func{void}{wxDataOutputStream::Write8}{{\param wxUint8 }{i8}}
Writes the single byte {\it i8} to the stream.
\membersection{wxDataOutputStream::Write16}
\func{void}{wxDataOutputStream::Write16}{{\param wxUint16 }{i16}}
Writes the 16 bit integer {\it i16} to the stream.
\membersection{wxDataOutputStream::Write32}
\func{void}{wxDataOutputStream::Write32}{{\param wxUint32 }{i32}}
Writes the 32 bit integer {\it i32} to the stream.
\membersection{wxDataOutputStream::WriteDouble}
\func{void}{wxDataOutputStream::WriteDouble}{{\param double }{f}}
Writes the double {\it f} to the stream using the IEEE format.
\membersection{wxDataOutputStream::WriteString}
\func{void}{wxDataOutputStream::WriteString}{{\param const wxString\& }{string}}
Writes {\it string} to the stream. Actually, this method writes the size of
the string before writing {\it string} itself.
