macOS Objective-C: C# BinaryReader and BinaryWriter?

[timehacker11]

I'm a .NET programmer, and would like to know if there is an equivalent of .NET's BinaryReader and BinaryWriter for Objective-C.

Thanks,

Perhaps if you told us what they do, we can answer that question. Offhand, given the names... when using an NSData object:

– initWithContentsOfFile:options:error:
– writeToFile:options:error:

Basically, Binary Readers and Writers allow you to read and write primitive file types. (Not the usual file types like txt, xml, etc)

I want to read and write to .blight files. The BLIGHT file is described here:

Use posix calls. Or NSFileHandle. Or NSInputStream. Or the NSData methods mentioned above.
