+<hr><a name="details"></a><h2>Detailed Description</h2>
+
+
+
+<p> The TQIODevice class is the base class of I/O devices.
+<p>
+<p> An I/O device represents a medium that one can read bytes from
+and/or write bytes to. The TQIODevice class is the abstract
+superclass of all such devices; classes such as <a href="qfile.html">TQFile</a>, <a href="qbuffer.html">TQBuffer</a> and
+<a href="qsocket.html">TQSocket</a> inherit TQIODevice and implement virtual functions such as
+write() appropriately.
+<p> Although applications sometimes use TQIODevice directly, it is
+usually better to use <a href="qtextstream.html">TQTextStream</a> and <a href="qdatastream.html">TQDataStream</a>, which provide
+stream operations on any TQIODevice subclass. TQTextStream provides
+text-oriented stream functionality (for human-readable ASCII
+files, for example), whereas TQDataStream deals with binary data in
+a totally platform-independent manner.
+<p> The public member functions in TQIODevice roughly fall into two
+groups: the action functions and the state access functions. The
+most important action functions are:
+<p> <ul>
+<p> <li> <a href="#open">open</a>() opens a device for reading and/or writing, depending on
+the mode argument.
+<p> <li> <a href="#close">close</a>() closes the device and tidies up (e.g. flushes buffered
+data)
+<p> <li> <a href="#readBlock">readBlock</a>() reads a block of data from the device.
+<p> <li> <a href="#writeBlock">writeBlock</a>() writes a block of data to the device.
+<p> <li> <a href="#readLine">readLine</a>() reads a line (of text, usually) from the device.
+<p> <li> <a href="#flush">flush</a>() ensures that all buffered data are written to the real device.
+<p> </ul>
+<p> There are also some other, less used, action functions:
+<p> <ul>
+<p> <li> <a href="#getch">getch</a>() reads a single character.
+<p> <li> <a href="#ungetch">ungetch</a>() forgets the last call to getch(), if possible.
+<p> <li> <a href="#putch">putch</a>() writes a single character.
+<p> <li> <a href="#size">size</a>() returns the size of the device, if there is one.
+<p> <li> <a href="#at">at</a>() returns the current read/write pointer's position, if there
+is one for this device, or it moves the pointer if given an offset.
+<p> <li> <a href="#atEnd">atEnd</a>() indicates whether there is more to read, if this is
+meaningful for this device.
+<p> <li> <a href="#reset">reset</a>() moves the read/write pointer to the start of the
+device, if that is possible for this device.
+<p> </ul>
+<p> The state access are all "get" functions. The TQIODevice subclass
+calls <a href="#setState">setState</a>() to update the state, and simple access functions
+tell the user of the device what the device's state is. Here are
+the settings, and their associated access functions:
+<p> <ul>
+<p> <li> Access type. Some devices are direct access (it is possible
+to read/write anywhere), whereas others are sequential. TQIODevice
+provides the access functions (<a href="#isDirectAccess">isDirectAccess</a>(),
+<a href="#isSequentialAccess">isSequentialAccess</a>(), and <a href="#isCombinedAccess">isCombinedAccess</a>()) to tell users what a
+given I/O device supports.
+<p> <li> Buffering. Some devices are accessed in raw mode, whereas
+others are buffered. Buffering usually provides greater
+efficiency, particularly for small read/write operations.
+<a href="#isBuffered">isBuffered</a>() tells the user whether a given device is buffered.
+(This can often be set by the application in the call to <a href="#open">open</a>().)
+<p> <li> Synchronicity. Synchronous devices work immediately (for
+example, files). When you read from a file, the file delivers its
+data straight away. Other kinds of device, such as a socket
+connected to a HTTP server, may not deliver the data until seconds
+after you ask to read it. <a href="#isSynchronous">isSynchronous</a>() and <a href="#isAsynchronous">isAsynchronous</a>()
+tell the user how this device operates.
+<p> <li> CR/LF translation. For simplicity, applications often like to
+see just a single CR/LF style, and TQIODevice subclasses can
+provide this. <a href="#isTranslated">isTranslated</a>() returns TRUE if this object
+translates CR/LF to just LF. (This can often be set by the
+application in the call to open().)
+<p> <li> Permissions. Some files cannot be written. For example,
+<a href="#isReadable">isReadable</a>(), <a href="#isWritable">isWritable</a>() and <a href="#isReadWrite">isReadWrite</a>() tell the application
+whether it can read from and write to a given device. (This can
+often be set by the application in the call to <a href="#open">open</a>().)
+<p> <li> Finally, <a href="#isOpen">isOpen</a>() returns TRUE if the device is open, i.e.
+after an open() call.
+<p> </ul>
+<p> TQIODevice provides numerous pure virtual functions that you need
+to implement when subclassing it. Here is a skeleton subclass with
+all the members you are sure to need and some that you will
+probably need:
+<p> <pre>
+ class MyDevice : public TQIODevice
+ {
+ public:
+ MyDevice();
+ ~MyDevice();
+
+ bool open( int mode );
+ void close();
+ void flush();
+
+ uint size() const;
+ int at() const; // non-pure virtual
+ bool at( int ); // non-pure virtual
+ bool atEnd() const; // non-pure virtual
+
+ int readBlock( char *data, uint maxlen );
+ int writeBlock( const char *data, uint len );
+ int readLine( char *data, uint maxlen );
+
+ int getch();
+ int putch( int );
+ int ungetch( int );
+ };
+ </pre>
+
+<p> The three non-pure virtual functions need not be reimplemented for
+sequential devices.
