The nsIStorageStream interface maintains an internal data buffer that can be filled using a single output stream. One or more independent input streams can be created to read the data from the buffer non-destructively.

Attributes
The length attribute indicates the total number of bytes stored in the nsIStorageStream internal buffer, regardless of any consumption by input streams. Assigning to the length field can be used to truncate the buffer data, but can not be used when either the instance's output stream is in use. @See #writeInProgress */
Methods
Get a reference to the one and only output stream for this instance. The zero-based startPosition argument is used is used to set the initial write cursor position. The startPosition cannot be set larger than the current buffer length. Calling this method has the side-effect of truncating the internal buffer to startPosition bytes.
Initialize the stream, setting up the amount of space that will be
allocated for the stream's backing-store.
@param segmentSize
Size of each segment. Must be a power of two.
@param maxSize
Maximum total size of this stream. length will always be less
than or equal to this value. Passing PR_UINT32_MAX is safe.
@param segmentAllocator
Which allocator to use for the segments. May be null, in which
case a default allocator will be used.
Create a new input stream to read data (written by the singleton output stream) from the internal buffer. Multiple, independent input streams can be created.
