Declaration

Source position: amigados.pas line 1408

Description

The TCSource data structure defines the input source for ReadItem as well as the ReadArgs call. It is a publicly defined structure which may be used by applications which use code that follows the conventions defined for access.

To initialize a TCSource, you set TCSource.CS_Buffer to a string which is used as the data source, and set CS_Length to the number of characters in the string. Normally CS_CurChr should be initialized to 0, or left as it was from prior use as a TCSource.

When passed to the dos.library functions, the value passed as PCSource is defined as follows:

if PCSource = nil then
  // Use buffered IO  as data source
else
  // Use PCSource for input character stream
