Class SubStream

Implements a Stream that operates on a section of a base stream. The base stream must be able to CanSeek.

note

Thread safety: multiple SubStream instances can perform operations on the same underlying stream on differents because substreams obtain a lock on the base stream before actually performing any I/O operations.

note

WARNING: Avoid performing operations on the underlying stream and any substreams within different threads. This will likey result in unexpected data corruption.

note

This class doesn't currently implement all of the Stream methods, especially asynchronous methods. This is something we may add in the future.
