Detailed Description

The bytebuffer class can be used to store binary data of arbitrary length.

It is generally more efficient to reuse the same bytebuffer over and over than to allocate a new one for each operation.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

bytebuffer() [1/4]

bytebuffer::bytebuffer

(

)

Creates an instance of the bytebuffer class with default initial size and increment parameters.

bytebuffer() [2/4]

bytebuffer::bytebuffer

(

size_t

initialsize

)

bytebuffer() [3/4]

		size_t	initialsize
	)

Creates an instance of the bytebuffer class. The buffer "initialcontents" will be attached to the instance and used as the initial contents. This buffer should not be freed by the calling program.

(

bytebuffer &

v

)

Creates an instance of the bytebuffer class that is a copy of "v".

~bytebuffer()
