TStream.Read

Read data from stream to buffer.

Declaration

Source position: objects.pp line 293

Description

Read is an abstract method that should be overridden by descendent objects.

Read reads Count bytes from the stream into Buf. It updates the position pointer, increasing it's value with Count. Buf must be large enough to contain Count bytes.

Errors

No checking is done to see if Buf is large enough to contain Count bytes.
