Stream

Description

Stream is the base class for character and binary based streams. It is not called directly, but invoked whenever you use a function that relies on it.

Stream defines the reading functions in Arduino. When using any core functionality that uses a

read()

or similar method, you can safely assume it calls on the Stream class. For functions like

print()

, Stream inherits from the Print class.

Some of the libraries that rely on Stream include:

• Serial
• Wire
• Ethernet
• SD

Functions

• available()
• read()
• flush()
• find()
• findUntil()
• peek()
• readBytes()
• readBytesUntil()
• readString()
• readStringUntil()
• parseInt()
• parseFloat()
• setTimeout()
