Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
int	encode(byte[] bs, int pos)	Writes this object to a byte array including an appropriate message tag
int	estimatedEncodingSize()	Estimate the encoded data size for this Cell.

Method Details

encode

int encode(byte[] bs,
 int pos)

Writes this object to a byte array including an appropriate message tag

Parameters:

bs - byte array to write this object to

pos - position at which to write the value

Returns:

The updated position

estimatedEncodingSize

int estimatedEncodingSize()

Estimate the encoded data size for this Cell. Used for quickly sizing buffers. Implementations should try to return a size that is highly likely to contain the entire object when encoded, including the tag byte. Should not traverse soft Refs, i.e. must be usable on arbitrary partial data structures

Returns:

The estimated size for the binary representation of this object.
