| IBitStream Interface |
The interface for classes that can take an array of bytes and stream bits from that byte array.
Namespace: VirtualRadar.Interface
Assembly: VirtualRadar.Interface (in VirtualRadar.Interface.dll) Version: 1.0.0.0 (1.0.0.0)
SyntaxThe IBitStream type exposes the following members.
Properties| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | LengthRemaining |
Gets the number of bits remaining on the stream.
|
Methods| Name | Description | |
|---|---|---|
 | Initialise |
Initialises the stream with an array of bytes. The read methods will return bits from those bytes.
|
| ReadBit |
Returns the next bit from the stream. A true value indicates that the next bit was set, a false value indicates the next bit was clear.
|
| ReadByte |
Returns up to the next 8 bits from the stream.
|
| ReadUInt16 |
Returns up to the next 16 bits from the stream in big-endian order.
|
| ReadUInt32 |
Returns up to the next 32 bits from the stream in big-endian order.
|
| ReadUInt64 |
Returns up to the next 64 bits from the stream in big-endian order.
|
| Skip |
Skips a number of bits in the stream.
|
RemarksAn exception is thrown if any operation moves past the end of the stream. Bits can be read across byte boundaries - e.g. if the bytes are 00001111 01010000 then doing a Skip(4) followed by a ReadByte(8) will return 11110101.
Implementations do not need to be thread-safe. If thread-safety is required then it is up to the caller to lock the BitStream.
