TAbstractResourceWriter class
Base abstract resource writer class
Declaration
TAbstractResourceWriter = classDescends from it: TCoffResourceWriter TElfResourceWriter TExternalResourceWriter TMachOResourceWriter TResResourceWriter
Description
This is the base class that represents a resource writer.
A resource writer is an object whose job is to write all resources contained in a TResources object to a stream in a specific format.
Typically, a TResources object invokes Write method of the resource writer when it wants the writer to write data to a stream.
Usually each resource writer registers itself with TResources class in the initialization section of the unit in which it is implemented: this way a TResources object can find it when it is asked to write itself to a file, and no writer was specified (the writer is found based on the extension of the file to write to).
