## Detailed Description

This class implements a buffering mechanism that is used when writing large elements that reside in file into an output stream.

DcmElement::getPartialValue is used to fill the buffer maintained by this class, and the buffer content is then copied to the output stream. The intermediate buffer is necessary because both DcmElement::getPartialValue and DcmOutputStream::write expect a buffer to write to and read from, respectively.

## Member Function Documentation

## ◆ bufferIsEmpty()

OFBool DcmWriteCache::bufferIsEmpty | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

check whether the buffer is currently empty

Returns
  true if buffer is empty, false otherwise

References numBytes_.

## ◆ contentLength()

Uint32 DcmWriteCache::contentLength | ( |  | ) | const
| inline

return the number of bytes of user data currently in buffer

Returns
  number of bytes of user data currently in buffer

References numBytes_.

## ◆ fillBuffer()

OFCondition DcmWriteCache::fillBuffer | ( | DcmElement & | elem | ) |

fill buffer from given DICOM element if buffer is currently empty.

This method uses DcmElement::getPartialValue to fill the buffer from the given DICOM element at the given offset (which is updated to reflect the number of bytes read into the buffer).

Parameters

  elem | DICOM element to read from

Returns
  EC_Normal if successful, an error code otherwise

## ◆ init()

void DcmWriteCache::init | ( | void * | owner,
|  | Uint32 | fieldLength,
|  | Uint32 | bytesTransferred,
|  | E_ByteOrder | byteOrder )

initialize the buffer maintained by this class.

Can safely be called multiple times.

Parameters

  owner | current "owner" (DcmElement instance using this buffer)
  fieldLength | number of bytes of user data in DICOM element
  bytesTransferred | number of bytes of user data in DICOM element that have already been transferred
  byteOrder | byteOrder desired byte order in buffer

## ◆ writeBuffer()

Uint32 DcmWriteCache::writeBuffer | ( | DcmOutputStream & | outStream | ) |

write buffer content to output stream

Parameters

  outStream | output stream to write to

Returns
  number of bytes written
