Detailed Description

Represents a source of byte data with a specific content type.

Remarks:

The source can be initialized from an array of bytes in memory or a file. You can get a MgByteReader object from the byte source and pass it to an API function where the content will be consumed.

Here are a few scenarios to illustrate how MgByteSink, MgByteSource and MgByteReader interact:

Loading the content of a file and creating a byte reader to be passed to a service API:

1. Create a MgByteSource passing the file name to its constructor
2. Get a MgByteReader from this byte source using MgByteSource::GetReader() and pass the obtained reference to the service API

Receiving a byte reader from a service API and saving the result into a file:

1. Create a MgByteSink object passing the MgByteReader reference to its constructor
2. Call the method ToFile() on the MgByteSink object.

Saving the content of a memory buffer (or of a string) into a file:

1. Create a MgByteSource object passing to its constructor the buffer and the number of bytes in this buffer
2. Get a MgByteReader from this byte source using MgByteSource::GetReader()
3. Create a MgByteSink object passing the MgByteReader reference to its constructor
4. Call the method ToFile() on the MgByteSink object.
