Description
THandleStream enables applications to read from and write to communications resources identified by a handle.
Use THandleStream to access files, sockets, named pipes, mailslots, or other communications resources that provide a handle when opened. For example, the FileOpen function provides a handle for a file on disk. THandleStream allows applications to use a uniform stream interface when performing I/O using a handle.
To avoid the overhead of managing file handles, use TFileStream to work with disk files.
