Interface ReadableBuffer

All Superinterfaces:

AutoCloseable, Closeable

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractReadableBuffer, CompositeReadableBuffer, ForwardingReadableBuffer

public interface ReadableBuffer
extends Closeable

Interface for an abstract byte buffer. Buffers are intended to be a read-only, except for the read position which is incremented after each read call.

Buffers may optionally expose a backing array for optimization purposes, similar to what is done in ByteBuffer. It is not expected that callers will attempt to modify the backing array.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
byte[]	array() Gets the backing array for this buffer.
int	arrayOffset() Gets the offset in the backing array of the current read position.
void	close() Closes this buffer and releases any resources.
boolean	hasArray() Indicates whether or not this buffer exposes a backing array.
int	readableBytes() Gets the current number of readable bytes remaining in this buffer.
void	readBytes(byte[] dest, int destOffset, int length) Reads length bytes from this buffer and writes them to the destination array.
void	readBytes(ByteBuffer dest) Reads from this buffer until the destination's position reaches its limit, and increases the read position by the number of the transferred bytes.
ReadableBuffer	readBytes(int length) Reads length bytes from this buffer and returns a new Buffer containing them.
void	readBytes(OutputStream dest, int length) Reads length bytes from this buffer and writes them to the destination stream.
int	readInt() Reads a 4-byte signed integer from this buffer using big-endian byte ordering.
int	readUnsignedByte() Reads the next unsigned byte from this buffer and increments the read position by 1.
int	readUnsignedMedium() Reads a 3-byte unsigned integer from this buffer using big-endian byte ordering.
int	readUnsignedShort() Reads a 2-byte unsigned integer from this buffer using big-endian byte ordering.
void	skipBytes(int length) Increments the read position by the given length.

Method Detail

readableBytes

int readableBytes()

Gets the current number of readable bytes remaining in this buffer.

readUnsignedByte

int readUnsignedByte()

Reads the next unsigned byte from this buffer and increments the read position by 1.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if required bytes are not readable

readUnsignedMedium

int readUnsignedMedium()

Reads a 3-byte unsigned integer from this buffer using big-endian byte ordering. Increments the read position by 3.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if required bytes are not readable

readUnsignedShort

int readUnsignedShort()

Reads a 2-byte unsigned integer from this buffer using big-endian byte ordering. Increments the read position by 2.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if required bytes are not readable

readInt

int readInt()

Reads a 4-byte signed integer from this buffer using big-endian byte ordering. Increments the read position by 4.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if required bytes are not readable

skipBytes

void skipBytes(int length)

Increments the read position by the given length.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if required bytes are not readable

readBytes

void readBytes(byte[] dest,
               int destOffset,
               int length)

Reads length bytes from this buffer and writes them to the destination array. Increments the read position by length.

Parameters:

dest - the destination array to receive the bytes.

destOffset - the starting offset in the destination array.

length - the number of bytes to be copied.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if required bytes are not readable or dest is too small.

readBytes

void readBytes(ByteBuffer dest)

Reads from this buffer until the destination's position reaches its limit, and increases the read position by the number of the transferred bytes.

Parameters:

dest - the destination buffer to receive the bytes.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if required bytes are not readable

readBytes

void readBytes(OutputStream dest,
               int length)
        throws IOException

Reads length bytes from this buffer and writes them to the destination stream. Increments the read position by length. If the required bytes are not readable, throws IndexOutOfBoundsException.

Parameters:

dest - the destination stream to receive the bytes.

length - the number of bytes to be copied.

Throws:

IOException - thrown if any error was encountered while writing to the stream.

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if required bytes are not readable

readBytes

ReadableBuffer readBytes(int length)

Reads length bytes from this buffer and returns a new Buffer containing them. Some implementations may return a Buffer sharing the backing memory with this buffer to prevent copying. However, that means that the returned buffer may keep the (possibly much larger) backing memory in use even after this buffer is closed.

Parameters:

length - the number of bytes to contain in returned Buffer.

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if required bytes are not readable

hasArray

boolean hasArray()

Indicates whether or not this buffer exposes a backing array.

array

byte[] array()

Gets the backing array for this buffer. This is an optional method, so callers should first check hasArray().

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - the buffer does not support this method

arrayOffset

int arrayOffset()

Gets the offset in the backing array of the current read position. This is an optional method, so callers should first check hasArray()

Throws:

UnsupportedOperationException - the buffer does not support this method

close

void close()

Closes this buffer and releases any resources.
