  aStream: TStream

):Boolean; virtual; abstract;

Arguments

aStream

  

The stream to check

Function result

true if the format of the stream is recognized

Description

A TResources object invokes this method when it is searching for a reader able to read a stream, passing that stream as the aStream parameter.

aStream position is already correctly set: the reader must start to read from there.

This method should read the minimum amount of information needed to recognize the contents of a stream as a valid format: it usually means reading a magic number or a file header.
