Detailed Description

Local file.

Synopsis

This class provide access to local file. You can manipulate binary content or use this class as text stream. To binary access there are function read(), write(), and many writeBinary() functions. For write variables to file in their text representation threr are many "<<" operators.

Position

Each opened file has a read/write position - logical position in the file content you read from or you write to. You can find out current position with function pos(). Function seek(llong position) move position to position "position", seekToBegin() move position to the begin of file, seekToEnd() move position to the end of file.
