class OutBuffer;

OutBuffer provides a way to build up an array of bytes out of raw data. It is useful for things like preparing an array of bytes to write out to a file. OutBuffer's byte order is the format native to the computer. To control the byte order (endianness), use a class derived from OutBuffer.

ubyte[] toBytes();

Convert to array of bytes.

void reserve(size_t nbytes);

Preallocate nbytes more to the size of the internal buffer.

This is a speed optimization, a good guess at the maximum size of the resulting buffer will improve performance by eliminating reallocations and copying.

void write(const(ubyte)[] bytes);
void write(ubyte b);
void write(byte b);
void write(char c);
void write(dchar c);
void write(ushort w);
void write(short s);
void write(wchar c);
void write(uint w);
void write(int i);
void write(ulong l);
void write(long l);
void write(float f);
void write(double f);
void write(real f);
void write(in char[] s);
void write(OutBuffer buf);

Append data to the internal buffer.

void fill0(size_t nbytes);

Append nbytes of 0 to the internal buffer.

void alignSize(size_t alignsize);

0-fill to align on power of 2 boundary.

void align2();

Optimize common special case alignSize(2)

void align4();

Optimize common special case alignSize(4)

string toString();

Convert internal buffer to array of chars.

void vprintf(string format, va_list args);

Append output of C's vprintf() to internal buffer.

void printf(string format, ...);

Append output of C's printf() to internal buffer.

void spread(size_t index, size_t nbytes);

At offset index into buffer, create nbytes of space by shifting upwards all data past index.
