Detailed Description

BinaryFileWriter: interface for writing to binary files, bit by bit or byte by byte.

Wraps an ofstream in binary mode.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

BinaryFileWriter::BinaryFileWriter ( const std::string & fileName )

Constructs a new BinaryFileWriter by opening the given filename.

Parameters

fileName File to be opened.

BinaryFileWriter::~BinaryFileWriter ( )

Destroys an BinaryFileWriter: the destructor here ensures that all remaining bits are written to the file before closing the file.

If the file was already closed, nothing is done.

void BinaryFileWriter::close ( )

Closes the given file.

void BinaryFileWriter::writeBit ( bool bit )

Writes the next bit of the file.

Parameters

bit	The bit to be written.

void BinaryFileWriter::writeByte ( char byte )

Writes the next byte to the file.

Parameters

byte	The byte to be written.

void BinaryFileWriter::writeCurrentByte ( )

private

Writes the current byte to the file.

int BinaryFileWriter::currentBit_

private

The current bit within the currentByte that is being written.

char BinaryFileWriter::currentByte_

private

The current byte to write bits into.

std::ofstream BinaryFileWriter::file_

private

std::ofstream used to write to the file.
