The binary stream class framework divides streams into input-only, output-only and input/output supporting streams. All derived classes also inherit this partition.
All derived classes that come with the library follow a uniform naming
scheme. You can identify what I/O facilities a stream provides, by
looking at the class name. All class names of libbinio start with
bin and end with a descriptive name of what they are meant
for. In between is at most one character that describes what I/O
functionality is provided. If this character is an i, the class
provides input-only streams, o means output-only and no
character indicates both input and output facilities.
For example, binifstream is an input-only binary stream for
standard file access. binstream is the general input and output
supporting stream.
