An EventWr.T, or event writer, is a writer the contents of whose
internal buffer can be retrieved as a ARRAY OF CHAR. Retrieving the
buffer resets the target to be empty. Text writers are buffered,
seekable, and never raise Failure or Alerted. The fact that
they are buffered is essentially unobservable, since there is no
way for the client to access the target except through the
writer.
INTERFACE EventWr;
IMPORT Wr;
TYPE
T <: Public;
Public = Wr.T OBJECT METHODS init(): T END;
The call wr.init() initializes wr to be a seekable writer with
c(wr) set to the empty sequence and cur(wr) to 0. The
writer has no upper bound on its length.
PROCEDURE New(): T;
Equivalent to NEW(T).init().
PROCEDURE ToChars(wr: T): REF ARRAY OF CHAR;
Return c(wr), resetting c(wr) to the empty sequence and
cur(wr) to 0.
END EventWr.
