Constructor Detail

ExpansibleByteBuffer

public ExpansibleByteBuffer()

Create a default ExpansibleByteBuffer capable of holding 10 bytes

ExpansibleByteBuffer

public ExpansibleByteBuffer(int initialSize)

Creates a ExpansibleByteBuffer which has an initialze size

Parameters:

initialSize - The initial buffer size

Method Detail

clear

public final void clear()

Reset the Buffer position to 0. Every new added byte will be put on position 0. Note that whatever this buffer contained before a call to the clear() method will not be removed.

position

public final int position()

Returns:

The position of the last byte in the buffer

position

public final void position(int pos)

Set the position to a specific value

Parameters:

pos - the new position

capacity

public final int capacity()

Returns:

The number of bytes that can be added into this buffer

get

public final byte get(int i)

Returns the byte at a given position. Note that no control is done on the position validity.

Parameters:

i - The position

Returns:

The byte at the given position in the buffer

buffer

public final byte[] buffer()

Get's the bytes, the backing store for this buffer. Note that you need to use the position index to determine where to stop reading from this buffer.

Returns:

The interned Byte[]

copyOfUsedBytes

public final byte[] copyOfUsedBytes()

Get's a copy of the bytes used.

Returns:

A copy of the interned Byte[]

append

public final void append(byte[] bytes)

Appends the bytes to this buffer.

Parameters:

bytes - The byte[] to append to the buffer

append

public final void append(byte b)

Appends a byte to this buffer.

Parameters:

b - The byte to append to the buffer

append

public final void append(int val)

Appends an int to this buffer. WARNING: the int is truncated to a byte value.

Parameters:

val - The integer to append to the buffer
