NAME
istreamb, ostreamb, iostreamb - unformatted streams
SYNOPSIS
#include <Dispatch/iostreamb.h>
DESCRIPTION
istreamb, ostreamb, and iostreamb are streams just like istream, ostream, and iostream except for two features. First, they automatically
insert and extract delimiters around datums where necessary so you never have to separate datums by whitespace yourself. Second, they can
insert and extract integers as either unformatted (binary) bytes or formatted characters so you can eliminate the time needed to convert
integers to strings and back. Both of these features make these classes easier to use than the base stream classes for inter-process com-
munication (IPC).
