** CVS/RCS Log:
** $Log: dcbytstr.h,v $
** Revision 1.46  2010-11-05 09:34:11  joergr
** Added support for checking the value multiplicity "9" (see Supplement 131).

**
** Revision 1.42  2010-02-22 11:39:53  uli

**
** Revision 1.40  2009-08-03 09:05:29  joergr
** Added methods that check whether a given string value conforms to the VR and
** VM definitions of the DICOM standards.
**
** Revision 1.39  2008-07-17 11:19:48  onken
** Updated copyFrom() documentation.
**
** Revision 1.38  2008-07-17 10:30:22  onken

**
** Revision 1.30  2005/12/08 16:27:59  meichel
** Changed include path schema for all DCMTK header files
**
** Revision 1.29  2004/07/01 12:28:25  meichel
** Introduced virtual clone method for DcmObject and derived classes.

**
** Revision 1.26  2002/12/10 17:41:22  meichel

** the boolean "showFullData" parameter by a more general integer flag.
** Added doc++ documentation.
** Made source code formatting more consistent with other modules/files.
**
** Revision 1.24  2002/08/27 16:55:30  meichel
** Initial release of new DICOM I/O stream classes that add support for stream
**   compression (deflated little endian explicit VR transfer syntax)
**
** Revision 1.23  2002/04/25 10:05:14  joergr
** Removed getOFStringArray() implementation.
** Made makeMachineByteString() virtual to avoid ambiguities.
**
** Revision 1.22  2001/09/25 17:19:24  meichel
** Adapted dcmdata to class OFCondition
**
** Revision 1.21  2001/06/01 15:48:33  meichel
** Updated copyright header
**
** Revision 1.20  2000/11/07 16:56:05  meichel
** Initial release of dcmsign module for DICOM Digital Signatures
**
** Revision 1.19  2000/04/14 15:31:31  meichel
** Removed default value from output stream passed to print() method.
**   Required for use in multi-thread environments.
**

** Updated copyright header.
**
** Revision 1.17  2000/03/03 14:05:22  meichel

**   instead of printing them to stdout/stderr for GUI applications.
**
** Revision 1.16  2000/02/10 10:50:49  joergr
** Added new feature to dcmdump (enhanced print method of dcmdata): write
** pixel data/item value fields to raw files.
**
** Revision 1.15  1999/03/31 09:24:30  meichel
** Updated copyright header in module dcmdata
**
** Revision 1.14  1998/11/12 16:47:36  meichel
** Implemented operator= for all classes derived from DcmObject.
**
** Revision 1.13  1997/09/11 15:13:09  hewett
** Modified getOFString method arguments by removing a default value
** for the pos argument.  By requiring the pos argument to be provided
** ensures that callers realise getOFString only gets one component of
** a multi-valued string.
**
** Revision 1.12  1997/08/29 13:11:38  andreas
** Corrected Bug in getOFStringArray Implementation
**
** Revision 1.11  1997/08/29 08:32:37  andreas
** - Added methods getOFString and getOFStringArray for all
**   string VRs. These methods are able to normalise the value, i. e.
**   to remove leading and trailing spaces. This will be done only if
**   it is described in the standard that these spaces are not relevant.
**   These methods do not test the strings for conformance, this means
**   especially that they do not delete spaces where they are not allowed!
**   getOFStringArray returns the string with all its parts separated by \
**   and getOFString returns only one value of the string.
**   CAUTION: Currently getString returns a string with trailing
**   spaces removed (if dcmEnableAutomaticInputDataCorrection == OFTrue) and
**   truncates the original string (since it is not copied!). If you rely on this
**   behaviour please change your application now.
**   Future changes will ensure that getString returns the original
**   string from the DICOM object (NULL terminated) inclusive padding.
**   Currently, if you call getOF... before calling getString without
**   normalisation, you can get the original string read from the DICOM object.
**
** Revision 1.10  1997/07/21 08:25:05  andreas
** - Replace all boolean types (BOOLEAN, CTNBOOLEAN, DICOM_BOOL, BOOL)
**   with one unique boolean type OFBool.
**
** Revision 1.9  1997/05/16 08:31:19  andreas
** - Revised handling of GroupLength elements and support of
**   DataSetTrailingPadding elements. The enumeratio E_GrpLenEncoding
**   got additional enumeration values (for a description see dctypes.h).
**   addGroupLength and removeGroupLength methods are replaced by
**   computeGroupLengthAndPadding. To support Padding, the parameters of
**   element and sequence write functions changed.
**
** Revision 1.8  1997/04/18 08:13:28  andreas
** - The put/get-methods for all VRs did not conform to the C++-Standard
**   draft. Some Compilers (e.g. SUN-C++ Compiler, Metroworks
**   CodeWarrier, etc.) create many warnings concerning the hiding of
**   overloaded get methods in all derived classes of DcmElement.
**   So the interface of all value representation classes in the
**   library are changed rapidly, e.g.
**   OFCondition get(Uint16 & value, const unsigned long pos);
**   becomes
**   OFCondition getUint16(Uint16 & value, const unsigned long pos);
**   All (retired) "returntype get(...)" methods are deleted.
**   For more information see dcmdata/include/dcelem.h
**
** Revision 1.7  1996/08/05 08:45:15  andreas
** new print routine with additional parameters:
**         - print into files
**         - fix output length for elements
** corrected error in search routine with parameter ESM_fromStackTop
**
** Revision 1.6  1996/03/12 15:26:52  hewett
** Removed get method for unsigned char*
**
** Revision 1.5  1996/01/29 13:38:11  andreas
** - new put method for every VR to put value as a string
** - better and unique print methods
**
** Revision 1.4  1996/01/09 11:06:13  andreas
** New Support for Visual C++
** Correct problems with inconsistent const declarations
**
** Revision 1.3  1996/01/05 13:22:52  andreas
** - changed to support new streaming facilities
** - more cleanups
** - merged read / write methods for block and file transfer
**
