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).
