Thanks, that seems to be a nice sequential text file reader/writer.

That's not what I search. I will try to be more specific:

I want to pass the stream to a binary reader, which skips big
parts of the stream. It can seek backwards and the files can be several
GB, so I need the int64 read/write/seek.

Maybe the word "buffer" is wrong, maybe "cache" is better.

Preferably the buffer size can be set up at creation.
