Detailed Description

template<typename T>
class BinaryFileAdaptor< T >

Helper class for data conversion.

BinaryFileAdaptors are used to read and write binary data from and to streams. This is done by reading the member data as a byte stream through an explicit cast and utilizing the stream read() and write() functions.

Caveat: This concept relies on the C++ memory layout and thus is highly non-portable!
