module Fox
#
# A FXMemoryStream is a stream that reads from (or writes to) a buffer of bytes in memory.
# That buffer may "owned" by either the application code or by the stream object itself.
# In the latter case, the stream object will dispose of the buffer contents when the stream
# is closed.
#
class FXMemoryStream < FXStream
attr_reader :position
#
# Construct a new memory stream with given container object.
# The container object is an object that will itself not be
# saved to or loaded from the stream, but which may be referenced
# by other objects. These references will be properly saved and restored.
#
# ==== Parameters:
#
# +cont+:: the container object, or +nil+ if there is none {FXObject}.
#
def initialize(cont=nil) # :yields: theMemoryStream
end
#
# Open memory stream for reading or writing.
# Returns +true+ if successful, +false+ otherwise.
#
# ==== Parameters:
#
# +save_or_load+:: access mode, either +FXStreamSave+ or +FXStreamLoad+ [Integer]
# +data+:: memory buffer to be used for the stream, or +nil+ if the stream object should allocate its own buffer [String]
#
def open(save_or_load, data); end
#
# Take buffer away from stream, thus transferring ownership of the buffer
# from the stream object to the caller.
# Returns a string containing the buffer contents.
#
def takeBuffer; end
#
# Give buffer (a string) to this stream, thus transferring ownership of
# the buffer from the caller to the stream object.
#
def giveBuffer(buffer); end
