You don't have to read byte by byte, you can read larger chunks into a buffer and look for a newline there.
Oh! OK. But what all functions can I use when I use openANSIFileDesc()? More broadly, what all features of C++ can I use in XPCOM? Is there any reference available somewhere? In the portability guide, it's mentioned that **don't use C++ standard library features including iostream(I haven't read the guide fully). And when I use nsIFile::directoryEntries, is there any direct way of getting number of entries in the directory other than iterating and counting the entries? Is it not possible to add a function to the nsISimpleEnumerator to get the number of entries it is pointing to?
