Detailed Description

This class is complementary to the OutputBuffer class.

Instead of filling an initially empty buffer it starts from a filled buffer and allows to retrieve items starting from the start of the buffer.

◆ InputBuffer()

openmsx::InputBuffer::InputBuffer ( std::span< const uint8_t > buf_ )

inline

Construct new InputBuffer, typically the buf_ parameter will come from a MemBuffer object.

Member Function Documentation

◆ getCurrentPos()

const uint8_t * openmsx::InputBuffer::getCurrentPos ( ) const

inline

Return a pointer to the current position in the buffer.

This is useful if you don't want to copy the data, but e.g. use it as input for an uncompress algorithm. You can later use skip() to actually consume the data.
