Construction:

CL_InputSource

Input Source Constructor

Attributes:

tell	Returns current position in input source.
size	Returns the size of the input source
is_little_endian	Returns true if the input source is in little endian mode.

Operations:

set_system_mode	Changes input data endianess to the local systems mode.
set_big_endian_mode	Changes input data endianess to big endian mode.
set_little_endian_mode	Changes input data endianess to little endian mode. This is the default setting.
read_int64	Reads a signed 64 bit integer from input source.
read_uint64	Reads an unsigned 64 bit integer from input source.
read_int32	Reads a signed 32 bit integer from input source.
read_uint32	Reads an unsigned 32 bit integer from input source.
read_int16	Reads a signed 16 bit integer from input source.
read_uint16	Reads an unsigned 16 bit integer from input source.
read_int8	Reads a signed 8 bit integer from input source.
read_uint8	Reads an unsigned 8 bit integer from input source.
read_short16	Reads a signed 16 bit integer (short) from input source.
read_ushort16	Reads an unsigned 16 bit integer (short) from input source.
read_char8	Reads a signed 8 bit integer (char) from input source.
read_uchar8	Reads an unsigned 8 bit integer (char) from input source.
read_float32	Reads an ieee format floating point from input source.
read_float64	Reads an ieee format double from input source.
read_bool8	Reads a bool from input source.
read	Reads larger amounts of data (no endian and 64 bit conversion).
open	Opens the input source. By default, it is open.
close	Closes the input source.
clone	Make a copy of the current inputsource, standing at the same position.
read_string	Reads a string from the input source.
seek	Seeks to the specified position in the input source.
push_position	Pushes the current input source position. The position can be restored again with pop_position.
pop_position	Pops a previous pushed input source position (returns to the position).

Implementation:

little_endian_mode

Detailed description:

!group=Core/IO Data! !header=core.h!

CL_InputSource is used to read data from different types of input sources. In most cases, this is regular files and ClanLib zlib compressed datafiles.

To access some system specific input source types, such as datafiles and regular ones, use the static create functions in the CL_InputSourceProvider class.
