9.19 Encoding Output Stream ( encoding ostream )
1. Definition
The type encoding ostream is the encoding counterpart of the type ostream from
the C++ iostream library. Each instance os of type encoding ostream is attached
to a streambuf sb. Every data that is written to os is encoded on-the-fly by an instance
of type Coder and then written to sb. All operations and all operators (>) defined for C++ istreams can be applied to decoding istream as well.
#include < LEDA/coding/coder util.h >
2. Creation
decoding istream is(streambuf ∗ encoded stream, bool own stream = false);
creates an instance is and attaches it to the given streambuf object.
3. Operations
Coder∗ is.get coder( ) returns the instance of Coder which is used for encoding.
