NAME

       istreamb, ostreamb, iostreamb - unformatted streams

SYNOPSIS

       #include <Dispatch/iostreamb.h>

DESCRIPTION

       istreamb,  ostreamb,  and  iostreamb  are streams just like istream, ostream, and iostream except for two
       features.  First, they automatically insert and extract delimiters around datums where necessary  so  you
       never  have  to  separate datums by whitespace yourself.  Second, they can insert and extract integers as
       either unformatted (binary) bytes or formatted characters so you can eliminate the time needed to convert
       integers to strings and back.  Both of these features make these classes easier  to  use  than  the  base
       stream classes for inter-process communication (IPC).
