BResources delegates most of the work to ResourcesContainer and ResourceFile. The former manages a collections of ResourceItem objects's (the actual resources) whereas the latter provides the file I/O functionality. An InitCheck() method is not needed, since a BResources object will never be invalid. It always serves as a resources container, even if it is not associated with a file. It is always possible to WriteTo() the resources BResources contains to a file (a valid one of course). \since BeOS R3 */ /*! \fn BResources::BResources() \brief Creates an uninitialized BResources object. \see SetTo() \since BeOS R3 */ /*! \fn BResources::BResources(const BFile* file, bool clobber) \brief Creates a BResources object that represents the resources of the supplied \a file.
