Interface nsISeekableStreamType

Hierarchy

Methods

  • Increases the reference count for this interface. The associated instance will not be deleted unless the reference count is returned to zero.

    Returns

    The resulting reference count.

    Returns number

  • Parameters

    • aIID: object
    • Optional aInstancePtr: object

    Returns any

  • A run time mechanism for interface discovery.

    Returns

    NS_OK if the interface is supported by the associated instance, NS_NOINTERFACE if it is not.

    aInstancePtr must not be null.

    Parameters

    • aIID: object

      [in] A requested interface IID

    • aInstancePtr: object

      [out] A pointer to an interface pointer to receive the result.

    Returns void

  • Decreases the reference count for this interface. Generally, if the reference count returns to zero, the associated instance is deleted.

    Returns

    The resulting reference count.

    Returns number

  • seek

    This method moves the stream offset of the steam implementing this interface.

    Throws

    NS_BASE_STREAM_CLOSED if called on a closed stream.

    Parameters

    • whence: number

      specifies how to interpret the 'offset' parameter in setting the stream offset associated with the implementing stream.

    • offset: number

      specifies a value, in bytes, that is used in conjunction with the 'whence' parameter to set the stream offset of the implementing stream. A negative value causes seeking in the reverse direction.

    Returns void

  • setEOF

    This method truncates the stream at the current offset.

    Throws

    NS_BASE_STREAM_CLOSED if called on a closed stream.

    Returns void

  • tell

    This method reports the current offset, in bytes, from the start of the stream.

    Throws

    NS_BASE_STREAM_CLOSED if called on a closed stream.

    Returns number
