Unigine::Stream Class

Header:#include <UnigineStreams.h>

This class cannot be instantiated. It is a base class for:

Stream class allows you to write data into a stream, that is into files (stored on the disk), blobs (stored in system memory) and sockets (to be sent over the network), as well as read data from a stream.
