Properties:

• public DataStreamByteOrder byte_order { set; get; }
• public DataStreamNewlineType newline_type { set; get; }

Creation methods:

• public DataInputStream (InputStream base_stream)
  Creates a new data input stream for the base_stream.

Methods:

• public DataStreamByteOrder get_byte_order ()
  Gets the byte order for the data input stream.
• public DataStreamNewlineType get_newline_type ()
  Gets the current newline type for the stream.
• public uchar read_byte (Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws IOError
  Reads an unsigned 8-bit/1-byte value from stream.
• public int16 read_int16 (Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws IOError
  Reads a 16-bit/2-byte value from stream.
• public int32 read_int32 (Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws IOError
  Reads a signed 32-bit/4-byte value from stream.
• public int64 read_int64 (Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws IOError
  Reads a 64-bit/8-byte value from stream.
• public string? read_line (out size_t length, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws IOError
  Reads a line from the data input stream. Note that no encoding checks or conversion is performed; the input is not guaranteed to be UTF-8, and may in fact have embedded NUL characters.
• public async string? read_line_async (int io_priority = DEFAULT, Cancellable? cancellable = null, out size_t length = null) throws IOError
  The asynchronous version of read_line. It is an error to have two outstanding calls to this function.
• public unowned string read_line_finish_utf8 (AsyncResult _result, size_t length) throws Error
  Finish an asynchronous call started by read_line_async.
• public unowned string read_line_utf8 (size_t length, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws Error
  Reads a UTF-8 encoded line from the data input stream.
• public uint16 read_uint16 (Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws IOError
  Reads an unsigned 16-bit/2-byte value from stream.
• public uint32 read_uint32 (Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws IOError
  Reads an unsigned 32-bit/4-byte value from stream.
• public uint64 read_uint64 (Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws IOError
  Reads an unsigned 64-bit/8-byte value from stream.
• public string? read_until (string stop_chars, out size_t length, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws IOError
  Reads a string from the data input stream, up to the first occurrence of any of the stop characters.
• public async string? read_until_async (string stop_chars, int io_priority = DEFAULT, Cancellable? cancellable = null, out size_t? length = null) throws IOError
  The asynchronous version of read_until . It is an error to have two outstanding calls to this function.
• public string? read_upto (string stop_chars, ssize_t stop_chars_len, out size_t length, Cancellable? cancellable = null) throws IOError
  Reads a string from the data input stream, up to the first occurrence of any of the stop characters.
• public async string? read_upto_async (string stop_chars, ssize_t stop_chars_len, int io_priority = DEFAULT, Cancellable? cancellable = null, out size_t? length = null) throws IOError
  The asynchronous version of read_upto. It is an error to have two outstanding calls to this function.
• public void set_byte_order (DataStreamByteOrder order)
  This function sets the byte order for the given stream. All subsequent reads from the stream will be read in the given order.
• public void set_newline_type (DataStreamNewlineType type)
  Sets the newline type for the stream.
