Remarks
The Stream class supports the reception and transmission of formatted text. The text may be formatted using UTF-8, UTF-16 or UTF-32 characters. The character format of the stream only determines the characters actually sent or received over the underlying communication channel. The text is converted to the native format of the language invoking the Stream methods when performing textual I/O.
