Interface IStorage
- All Superinterfaces:
IAdaptable
- All Known Subinterfaces:
IEncodedStorage,IFile,IFileState
- All Known Implementing Classes:
LocalFileStorage,ZipEntryStorage
A storage object represents a set of bytes which can be accessed.
These may be in the form of an
IFile or IFileState
or any other object supplied by user code. The main role of an IStorage
is to provide a uniform API for access to, and presentation of, its content.
Storage objects implement the IAdaptable interface;
extensions are managed by the platform's adapter manager.
Clients may implement this interface.
