_**realloc**_|Change size of existing "Stream"
_**append**_|Append a new "Stream" content to the current "Stream"
_**insert**_|Insert "Stream" content to the current "Stream" at specific position
_**isEqual**_|Check that two "Stream" objects has equal content
_**isEqualView**_|Check that current "Stream" objects has equal content with input "Uint8Array"
_**findPattern**_|Find any byte pattern in "Stream"

_**findAllSequences**_|Find all positions of a sequence of any patterns from input array
_**findPairedPatterns**_|Find all paired patterns in the stream
_**findPairedArrays**_|Find all paired patterns in the stream
_**replacePattern**_|Replace one patter with other
_**skipPatterns**_|Skip any pattern from input array
_**skipNotPatterns**_|Skip any pattern not from input array

## SeqStream class

_SeqStream_ class is the aux class for sequential reading/writing data from/to _ByteStream_ underline class.

Method | Description
-------|--------------
_**resetPosition**_|Reset current position of the "SeqStream"
_**findPattern**_|Find any byte pattern in "ByteStream"
_**findFirstIn**_|Find first position of any pattern from input array
_**findAllIn**_|Find all positions of any pattern from input array
_**findFirstNotIn**_|Find first position of data, not included in patterns from input array
_**findAllNotIn**_|Find all positions of data, not included in patterns from input array
_**findFirstSequence**_|Find position of a sequence of any patterns from input array
_**findAllSequences**_|Find position of a sequence of any patterns from input array
_**findPairedPatterns**_|Find all paired patterns in the stream
_**findPairedArrays**_|Find all paired patterns in the stream
_**replacePattern**_|Replace one patter with other
_**skipPatterns**_|Skip of any pattern from input array
_**skipNotPatterns**_|Skip of any pattern from input array
_**append**_|Append a new "Stream" content to the current "Stream"
_**appendView**_|Append a "view" content to the current "Stream"
_**appendChar**_|Append a new char to the current "Stream"
_**getBlock**_|Get a block of data
_**getUint32**_|Get 4-byte unsigned integer value

## BitStream class

Main purpose of the _BitStream_ is manipulating of each bit inside any _ByteStream_ data.

_**findAllNotIn**_|Find all positions of data, not included in patterns from input array
_**findFirstSequence**_|Find position of a sequence of any patterns from input array
_**findAllSequences**_|Find position of a sequence of any patterns from input array
_**findPairedPatterns**_|Find all paired patterns in the stream
_**findPairedArrays**_|Find all paired patterns in the stream
_**replacePattern**_|Replace one pattern with other
_**skipPatterns**_|Skip any pattern from input array
_**skipNotPatterns**_|Skip any pattern not from input array
_**append**_|Append a new "BitStream" content to the current "BitStream"

## SeqBitStream class

_SeqBitStream_ class is the aux class for sequential reading/writing data from/to _BitStream_ underline class.

Method | Description
-------|--------------
_**getBits**_|Get next "length" bits from the stream
_**getBitsString**_|Get string representation for the next "length" bits from the stream
_**getBitsReversedValue**_|Get number value representation of the next "length" bits from the stream, preliminary reversed
_**toString**_|Represent remaining bits in "BitStream" as a string

## parseByteMap functionality

The `parseByteMap` function is intended to parse and check byte streams with determinated structure.

Example of _map_ used as a kind of _template_. Exactly this _map_ is using for parsing PDF _xref_ table:
```javascript
let map = [
	{
		type: "string",
		name: "type",
		minlength: 1,
		maxlength: 1,
		func: function(array){
			let result = {
				status: (-1),
				length: 1
			};
			
			switch(array[0])
			{
				case 0x6E: // "n"
					result.value = "n";
					break;
				case 0x66: // "f"
					result.value = "f";
					break;
				default:
					return result;
			}
			
			result.status = 1;
			
			return result;
		}
	},
	{
		type: "check",
		minlength: 1,
		maxlength: 2,
		func: function(array){
			let position = (-1);
			
			if(array[0] == 0x0A)
				position = 1;
			if(array[1] == 0x0A)
				position = 2;
			
			return {
				status: (position > 0) ? 1 : (-1),
				length: position
			};
		}
	}
];
```
