Stream question

I have a connected Socket object and I call:

socket.getInput Stream().read() ;

Now as I understand it, the above will block until some data is received
or the socket is closed. In the later case, the method will return -1.
Is this correct?

However, in testing the method doesn't block and immediately returns
255. Even after the connection is closed, the method keeps returning
255. I'm connecting to the socket through telnet.

What am I doing wrong?

OK I am half way there - I can manipulate the stream without the byte issue like this - but is this the way to push the new values back into the stream & write out the stream without resorting to byte conversion ?? FileStream stream = null; stream = File.Open(fiPath, FileMode.Open, FileAccess.ReadWrite,FileShare.None); System.IO.StreamReader Tin = new System.IO.StreamReader (stream);

Hey there, I need a string stream, but I can't find one in .NET. I thought StringWriter would derive from Stream, alas it doesn't do so. Which leads me to my next question: What is the purpose of System.IO.StringWriter (or, what is its added value)??? It can do the same things with StringBuilder, and I see no added value. The reason why I need the string stream, is that I have a library that knows

Hi all, Sorry if this is the incorrect group but I couldn't see anything directly relevant. Can someone confirm for me what happens when two network streams are sent to an application at the same time. My scenario is a small server application that listens on a particular TCP port.

I am trying to share a file stream between two threads, but havent got a clue as to how to do it. The first thread will be reading the file, and the second thread will(/might) be writing to the same file stream. I was going to pass a ref to the file stream to the second thread, but the problem comes when I am trying to read from one section of the stream and write to another. I dont want one thread changing the position of the stream...

Greetings all... I was playing around with compressing streams and came across a behavior that I do not understand. I create a stream (input) from the contents of a textbox. That stream is compressed into another stream (output). I then copy the stream (output) to another stream (input2). The compressed stream (input2) is then decompressed into a final stream (output2). My question is this. I create input2 from output.GetBuffer()...

Hi all, Is there a standard library function to insert an array of characters at a particular point in a text stream without overwriting the existing content, such that the following data in appropriately moved further down? From a cursory search of the libc documentation I can't find such a function. Will I have to write it myself? Thanks.

Hi! Is it possible to extract the mode flags of a stream (FILE* stream or fstream - object), without looking at how the stream was opened? What I mean by mode flags is wether the stream is opened in read only mode, write only, binary and so on. I did not find any functions in C, but I found something similar in C++, the flags() member functio of an fstream object. I've tried to check the flags on ios_base::binary ios_base::in binary...

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it. Here is my compilation command: g++-12 -std=c++20 -Wnarrowing bit_field.cpp Here is the code in...

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
