Overview

CC3DataReader sequentially reads data from the bytes managed by a NSData object.

Reading starts at the beginning of the data bytes contained in the NSData object. As each element is read, the pointer is advanced to the beginning of the next element.

If an attempt is made to read beyond the end of the contained data, the element reading methods will return a default value, and the value of the wasReadBeyondEOF property is set to YES. You can test the value of this property after each read, or once reading is complete in order to determine if an unexpected end of data was encountered.

Properties

bytesRemaining

Bytes remaining to be read.

@property (nonatomic, readonly) NSUInteger bytesRemaining

Declared In

CC3DataStreams.h

data

Returns the encapsulated data object.

@property (nonatomic, retain, readonly) NSData *data

Declared In

CC3DataStreams.h

isBigEndian

Indicates whether the source content was encoded on a big-endian platform.

@property (nonatomic, assign) BOOL isBigEndian

Discussion

Most OSX and iOS platforms are little-endian, so this property defaults to NO. You can set the value of this property to YES prior to reading any content if you know the data was encoded on a big-endian platform.

Declared In

CC3DataStreams.h

position

Returns the current position in the stream.

@property (nonatomic, readonly) NSUInteger position

Declared In

CC3DataStreams.h

wasReadBeyondEOF

Returns YES if an attempt was made to read beyond the end of the data content.

@property (nonatomic, readonly) BOOL wasReadBeyondEOF

Declared In

CC3DataStreams.h

Class Methods

readerOnData:

Allocates and initializes an autoreleased instance on the specified NSData object.

+ (id)readerOnData:(NSData *)data

Declared In

CC3DataStreams.h

Instance Methods

initOnData:

Initializes this instance on the specified NSData object.

- (id)initOnData:(NSData *)data

Declared In

CC3DataStreams.h

readAll:bytes:

Reads the specified number of bytes into the specified byte array, and advances the stream position.

- (BOOL)readAll:(NSUInteger)count bytes:(char *)bytes

Discussion

If ALL of the bytes cannot be read, then the entire array of bytes is zeroed, and the stream position, as returned by the postion property, is not advanced.

Returns YES if the requested number of bytes was successfully read into the specified byte array, and the steam position was advanced. Otherwise, returns NO to indicate that none of the bytes were read, the stream position was not advanced, and the byte array was zeroed.

Declared In

CC3DataStreams.h

readByte

Reads and returns a byte from the current position in the stream, and advances the stream pointer.

- (char)readByte

Discussion

If the value could not be read, returns zero, and does not advance the stream position.

Declared In

CC3DataStreams.h

readDouble

Reads and returns a double from the current position in the stream, and advances the stream pointer.

- (double)readDouble

Discussion

If the value could not be read, returns zero, and does not advance the stream position.

Declared In

CC3DataStreams.h

readFloat

Reads and returns a float from the current position in the stream, and advances the stream pointer.

- (float)readFloat

Discussion

If the value could not be read, returns zero, and does not advance the stream position.

Declared In

CC3DataStreams.h

readInteger

Reads and returns an integer from the current position in the stream, and advances the stream pointer.

- (int)readInteger

Discussion

If the value could not be read, returns zero, and does not advance the stream position.

Declared In

CC3DataStreams.h

readShort

Reads and returns a short from the current position in the stream, and advances the stream pointer.

- (short)readShort

Discussion

If the value could not be read, returns zero, and does not advance the stream position.

Declared In

CC3DataStreams.h

readUnsignedByte

Reads and returns an unsigned byte from the current position in the stream, and advances the stream pointer.

- (unsigned char)readUnsignedByte

Discussion

If the value could not be read, returns zero, and does not advance the stream position.

Declared In

CC3DataStreams.h

readUnsignedInteger

Reads and returns an unsigned integer from the current position in the stream, and advances the stream pointer.

- (unsigned int)readUnsignedInteger

Discussion

If the value could not be read, returns zero, and does not advance the stream position.

Declared In

CC3DataStreams.h

readUnsignedShort

Reads and returns an unsigned short from the current position in the stream, and advances the stream pointer.

- (unsigned short)readUnsignedShort

Discussion

If the value could not be read, returns zero, and does not advance the stream position.
