GetStreamStatus
Retrieves the current status flags for this Cyberdog stream.
StreamStatus GetStreamStatus ();
return value
A set of status flags, expressed as a 16-bit integer.

DISCUSSION
This method returns the current status of the stream as a set of flags. You can use the logical & operator to determine whether a particular flag is set. The following example calls GetStreamStatus and then tests the kCDDataAvailable flag:
StreamStatus status;

status = fStream->GetStreamStatus (ev);
if (status & kCDDataAvailable) 
{
   ...
}
GetStreamStatus may be called at interrupt time.
If you subclass CyberStream, you must override this method. Your override must not call its inherited method; that is, your override method must implement this method's functionality completely.
