    \class QDataStream qdatastream.h
    \reentrant
    \brief The QDataStream class provides serialization of binary data
    to a QIODevice.

    \ingroup io

    A data stream is a binary stream of encoded information which is
    100% independent of the host computer's operating system, CPU or
    byte order. For example, a data stream that is written by a PC
    under Windows can be read by a Sun SPARC running Solaris.

    You can also use a data stream to read/write \link #raw raw
    unencoded binary data\endlink. If you want a "parsing" input
    stream, see QTextStream.

    The QDataStream class implements the serialization of C++'s basic
    data types, like \c char, \c short, \c int, \c char*, etc.
    Serialization of more complex data is accomplished by breaking up
    the data into primitive units.

    A data stream cooperates closely with a QIODevice. A QIODevice
    represents an input/output medium one can read data from and write
    data to. The QFile class is an example of an IO device.

    Example (write binary data to a stream):
    \code
    QFile file( "file.dat" );
    file.open( IO_WriteOnly );
    QDataStream stream( &file ); // we will serialize the data into the file
    stream << "the answer is";   // serialize a string
    stream << (Q_INT32)42;       // serialize an integer
    \endcode

    Example (read binary data from a stream):
    \code
    QFile file( "file.dat" );
    file.open( IO_ReadOnly );
    QDataStream stream( &file );  // read the data serialized from the file
    QString str;
    Q_INT32 a;
    stream >> str >> a;           // extract "the answer is" and 42
    \endcode

    Each item written to the stream is written in a predefined binary
    format that varies depending on the item's type. Supported Qt
    types include QBrush, QColor, QDateTime, QFont, QPixmap, QString,
    QVariant and many others. For the complete list of all Qt types
    supporting data streaming see the \link datastreamformat.html
    Format of the QDataStream operators \endlink.

    For integers it is best to always cast to a Qt integer type for
    writing, and to read back into the same Qt integer type. This
    ensures that you get integers of the size you want and insulates
    you from compiler and platform differences.

    To take one example, a \c char* string is written as a 32-bit
    integer equal to the length of the string including the NUL byte
    ('\0'), followed by all the characters of the string including the
    NUL byte. When reading a \c char* string, 4 bytes are read to
    create the 32-bit length value, then that many characters for the
    \c char* string including the NUL are read.

    The initial IODevice is usually set in the constructor, but can be
    changed with setDevice(). If you've reached the end of the data
    (or if there is no IODevice set) atEnd() will return TRUE.

    If you want the data to be compatible with an earlier version of
    Qt use setVersion().

    If you want the data to be human-readable, e.g. for debugging, you
    can set the data stream into printable data mode with
    setPrintableData(). The data is then written slower, in a bloated
    but human readable format.

    If you are producing a new binary data format, such as a file
    format for documents created by your application, you could use a
    QDataStream to write the data in a portable format. Typically, you
    would write a brief header containing a magic string and a version
    number to give yourself room for future expansion. For example:

    \code
    QFile file( "file.xxx" );
    file.open( IO_WriteOnly );
    QDataStream stream( &file );

    // Write a header with a "magic number" and a version
    stream << (Q_UINT32)0xA0B0C0D0;
    stream << (Q_INT32)123;

    // Write the data
    stream << [lots of interesting data]
    \endcode

    Then read it in with:

    \code
    QFile file( "file.xxx" );
    file.open( IO_ReadOnly );
    QDataStream stream( &file );

    // Read and check the header
    Q_UINT32 magic;
    stream >> magic;
    if ( magic != 0xA0B0C0D0 )
        return XXX_BAD_FILE_FORMAT;

    // Read the version
    Q_INT32 version;
    stream >> version;
    if ( version < 100 )
        return XXX_BAD_FILE_TOO_OLD;
    if ( version > 123 )
        return XXX_BAD_FILE_TOO_NEW;
    if ( version <= 110 )
        stream.setVersion(1);

    // Read the data
    stream >> [lots of interesting data];
    if ( version > 120 )
        stream >> [data new in XXX version 1.2];
    stream >> [other interesting data];
    \endcode

    You can select which byte order to use when serializing data. The
    default setting is big endian (MSB first). Changing it to little
    endian breaks the portability (unless the reader also changes to
    little endian). We recommend keeping this setting unless you have
    special requirements.

    \target raw
    \section1 Reading and writing raw binary data

    You may wish to read/write your own raw binary data to/from the
    data stream directly. Data may be read from the stream into a
    preallocated char* using readRawBytes(). Similarly data can be
    written to the stream using writeRawBytes(). Notice that any
    encoding/decoding of the data must be done by you.

    A similar pair of functions is readBytes() and writeBytes(). These
    differ from their \e raw counterparts as follows: readBytes()
    reads a Q_UINT32 which is taken to be the length of the data to be
    read, then that number of bytes is read into the preallocated
    char*; writeBytes() writes a Q_UINT32 containing the length of the
    data, followed by the data. Notice that any encoding/decoding of
    the data (apart from the length Q_UINT32) must be done by you.
