NSInputStream hasBytesAvailable example ios

hasBytesAvailable

Returns a Boolean value that indicates whether the receiver has bytes available to read.

- (BOOL)hasBytesAvailable

Return Value

YES if the receiver has bytes available to read, otherwise NO. May also return YES if a read must be attempted in order to determine the availability of bytes.

( NSInputStream hasBytesAvailable example )

NSInputStream *insrm = [[NSInputStream alloc] initWithData:data];
[insrm open];

while ([insrm hasBytesAvailable]) {
 uint8_t buf[128];
 NSUInteger bytesRead = [insrm read:buf maxLength:128];
 NSLog(@"read %d bytes",bytesRead);
}
