It provides an inserter-based interface similar to ostream. The writer also supports automatic conversion from big-endian (network byte order) to little-endian and vice-versa. Use a <a href="Poco.BinaryReader.html" title="class Poco::BinaryReader">BinaryReader</a> to read from a stream created by a <a href="Poco.BinaryWriter.html" title="class Poco::BinaryWriter">BinaryWriter</a>. Be careful when exchanging data between systems with different data type sizes (e.g., 32-bit and 64-bit architectures), as the sizes of some of the basic types may be different. For example, writing a long integer on a 64-bit system and reading it on a 32-bit system may yield an incorrent result. Use fixed-size types (<a href="Poco.html#11353" title="Poco::Int32">Int32</a>, <a href="Poco.html#11357" title="Poco::Int64">Int64</a>, etc.) in such a case. </p> </div> <h2>Member Summary</h2> <p><b>Member Functions: </b><a href="Poco.BinaryWriter.html#3923" title="Poco::BinaryWriter::bad()">bad</a>, <a href="Poco.BinaryWriter.html#3925" title="Poco::BinaryWriter::byteOrder()">byteOrder</a>, <a href="Poco.BinaryWriter.html#3922" title="Poco::BinaryWriter::fail()">fail</a>, <a href="Poco.BinaryWriter.html#3920" title="Poco::BinaryWriter::flush()">flush</a>, <a href="Poco.BinaryWriter.html#3921" title="Poco::BinaryWriter::good()">good</a>, <a href="Poco.BinaryWriter.html#3878" title="Poco::BinaryWriter::operator <<()">operator <<</a>, <a href="Poco.BinaryWriter.html#3924" title="Poco::BinaryWriter::stream()">stream</a>, <a href="Poco.BinaryWriter.html#3910" title="Poco::BinaryWriter::write7BitEncoded()">write7BitEncoded</a>, <a href="Poco.BinaryWriter.html#3919" title="Poco::BinaryWriter::writeBOM()">writeBOM</a>, <a href="Poco.BinaryWriter.html#3914" title="Poco::BinaryWriter::writeRaw()">writeRaw</a></p> <h2>Enumerations</h2> <h3><a name="3869">StreamByteOrder</a></h3> <div class="description"> <p></p> </div> <p class="decl"><a name="3870">NATIVE_BYTE_ORDER</a> = 1</p> <div class="description"> <p>the host's native byte-order </p> </div> <p class="decl"><a name="3871">BIG_ENDIAN_BYTE_ORDER</a> = 2</p> <div class="description"> <p>big-endian (network) byte-order </p> </div> <p class="decl"><a name="3872">NETWORK_BYTE_ORDER</a> = 2</p> <div class="description"> <p>big-endian (network) byte-order </p> </div> <p class="decl"><a name="3873">LITTLE_ENDIAN_BYTE_ORDER</a> = 3</p> <div class="description"> <p>little-endian byte-order </p> </div> <h2>Constructors</h2> <h3><a name="3874">BinaryWriter</a></h3> <p class="decl"><a href="Poco.BinaryWriter.html" title="class Poco::BinaryWriter">BinaryWriter</a>(<br /> std::ostream & ostr,<br /> <a href="Poco.BinaryWriter.html#3869" title="enum Poco::BinaryWriter::StreamByteOrder">StreamByteOrder</a> byteOrder = NATIVE_BYTE_ORDER<br />);</p> <div class="description"> <p>Creates the <a href="Poco.BinaryWriter.html" title="class Poco::BinaryWriter">BinaryWriter</a>. </p> </div> <h2>Destructor</h2> <h3><a name="3877">~BinaryWriter</a></h3> <p class="decl">~<a href="Poco.BinaryWriter.html" title="class Poco::BinaryWriter">BinaryWriter</a>();</p> <div class="description"> <p>Destroys the <a href="Poco.BinaryWriter.html" title="class Poco::BinaryWriter">BinaryWriter</a>. </p> </div> <h2>Member Functions</h2> <h3><a name="3923">bad</a> <img src="images/inline.gif" alt="inline" title="inline" style="vertical-align:baseline;" border="0" /> </h3> <p class="decl">bool bad();</p> <div class="description"> <p>Returns _ostr.<a href="Poco.BinaryWriter.html#3923" title="Poco::BinaryWriter::bad()">bad</a>();
