Stream Status
The StreamStatus data type is a 16-bit value that contains flags describing the status of a Cyberdog stream. They are returned by the CyberStream::GetStreamStatus method.
Flag descriptions

kCDDataAvailable
The stream has been opened successfully and contains at least one buffer of nonzero length that you can retrieve by calling CyberStream::GetBuffer (page 382).
kCDErrorOccurred
An error has occurred. You can call CyberStream::GetStatusString (page 384) to retrieve the error message.
kCDStatusStringChanged
The status string that describes the current status of the stream has changed. You can retrieve the current status string by calling CyberStream::GetStatusString (page 384). When an error occurs, the status string is changed, but the value of the kCDStatusStringChanged flag is not changed.
