Class Header

java.lang.Object
  org.rrd4j.core.Header

public class Header
extends Object

Class to represent RRD header. Header information is mainly static (once set, it cannot be changed), with the exception of last update time (this value is changed whenever RRD gets updated).

Normally, you don't need to manipulate the Header object directly - Rrd4j framework does it for you.
