Detailed Description

The bytebuffer class can be used to store binary data of arbitrary length.

It is generally more efficient to reuse the same bytebuffer over and over than to allocate a new one for each operation.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

◆ bytebuffer() [1/4]

bytebuffer::bytebuffer ( )

Creates an instance of the bytebuffer class with default initial size and increment parameters.

◆ bytebuffer() [2/4]

bytebuffer::bytebuffer ( size_t  initialsize)

Creates an instance of the bytebuffer class with the specified "initialsize".

◆ bytebuffer() [3/4]

bytebuffer::bytebuffer ( unsigned char *  initialcontents,
size_t  initialsize 
)
