The MIME multipart stream is used to parse MIME multipart messages. It works a bit like a structured stream in that it has some methods to begin and end MIME body just as a structured stream has methods for beginning and ending tags.

The `HTMultipart stream` is a subclass of a Generic Stream Object. As always, we don't have classes in basic C so we have to do this by hand!

    typedef struct _HTMultipart HTMultipart;

    typedef struct _HTMultipartClass {

        char * name;

        int (*flush)	(HTMultipart *	me);

        int (*_free)	(HTMultipart *	me);

        int (*abort)	(HTMultipart *	me, HTList * errorlist);

        int (*put_character)(HTMultipart *	me, char ch);

        int (*put_string)	(HTMultipart *	me, const char * str);

        int (*put_block)	(HTMultipart *	me, const char * str, int len);

See the Generic Stream Definition for an explanation of these methods. Note that they all have a `HTMultipart` object a the parameter, not a generic stream. This is to avoid incompatible pointer warnings

        int (*begin_part)	(HTMultipart *	me, const char * boundary);

        int (*end_part)	(HTMultipart *	me);

        int (*preamble)	(HTMultipart *	me, const char * pre);

        int (*epilogue)	(HTMultipart *	me, const char * epi);

    } HTMultipartClass;
