# I/O Streams

The library provides a type for representing a stream of characters for input/output. Such a stream is represented by the type jas_stream_t. Streams (in the JasPer library) are similar to I/O streams in the C standard library but have a few additional functionalities. In particular, with JasPer I/O streams, it is possible to:

- set a limit on the number of characters that can be read from or written to a stream;
- put back more than one character read from a stream;
- query the number of characters that have been read from or written to a stream; and
- associate a stream with one of several different types of underlying data sources/sinks (including buffers in memory and temporary files).

The possible underlying sources/sinks for a stream include:

- a stdio stream (i.e., FILE)
- a file descriptor
- a memory buffer
- a temporary file

The following functions are used for opening/closing streams:

- jas_stream_fopen()
- jas_stream_memopen2()
- jas_stream_fdopen()
- jas_stream_freopen()
- jas_stream_tmpfile()
- jas_stream_close()

The following functions are used for reading/writing streams:

- jas_stream_read()
- jas_stream_write()
- jas_stream_peek()
- jas_stream_printf()
- jas_stream_puts()
- jas_stream_gets()
- jas_stream_ungetc()
- jas_stream_getc()
- jas_stream_putc()
- jas_stream_peekc()
- jas_stream_gobble()
- jas_stream_pad()

The following functions are used for getting/setting the position within a stream:

- jas_stream_isseekable()
- jas_stream_seek()
- jas_stream_tell()
- jas_stream_rewind()

Numerous other functions for streams are also provided, including:

- jas_stream_flush()
- jas_stream_copy()
- jas_stream_display()
- jas_stream_length()
- jas_stream_eof()
- jas_stream_error()
- jas_stream_clearerr()
- jas_stream_setrwlimit()
- jas_stream_setrwcount()
- jas_stream_getrwlimit()
- jas_stream_getrwcount()
