Reorganise docs in trunk to match distribution layout, which is cleaner,
and makes Makefile work on distributions and trunk equally.

It also can preprocess the line to remove leading and trailing whitespace and comments. Comments are started by the character # and run to the end of the line. + +Create an instance by passing a reference to a stream into the constructor. + +Note the class does internal buffering, so you can only detach it later if the stream supports seeking backwards. + + +FUNCTION IOStreamGetLine::GetLine() + +Returns true if a line could be retreieved without a read timing out. + + +FUNCTION IOStreamGetLine::IsEOF() + +Whether the end of the stream has been reached. Do not call GetLine if this is true. + + +FUNCTION IOStreamGetLine::GetLineNumber() + +Returns the line number. + + +FUNCTION IOStreamGetLine::DetachFile() + +Detaches the stream from the GetLine class. Will seek backwards to "replace" data it's buffered back in the stream. + + |
