    Description

    TIOStream can be used to create a stream which reads from or writes to the standard input, output or stderr file descriptors. It is a descendent of THandleStream. The type of stream that is created is determined by the TIOSType argument to the constructor. The handle of the standard input, output or stderr file descriptors is determined automatically.

    The TIOStream keeps an internal Position, and attempts to provide minimal Seek behaviour based on this position.
