Interface ISeekable

All Known Subinterfaces:

OSeekable, RandomAccessInput, RandomAccessIO, RandomAccessOutput

All Known Implementing Classes:

AbstractRandomAccessInput, AbstractRandomAccessIO, AbstractRandomAccessOutput, ByteArrayRandomAccessIO

public interface ISeekable

This interface contains methods useful both for input and output, but itself cannot be clasified neither as input nor as output. The name "ISeekable" is rather misleading.

Field Summary

static int	BIG_ENDIAN
static int	LITTLE_ENDIAN

Method Summary

void	close()
int	getByteOrder() get byte order
long	getFilePointer() Since this is an interface and is not restricted to files, "getFilePointer" is wrong name for this method.
boolean	isBuffered()
long	length() get length of data
void	seek(long offset) set current cursor position to specified offset
void	setByteOrder(int byteOrder) set byte order

Method Detail

getByteOrder

public int getByteOrder()

get byte order

Returns:

#BIG_ENDIAN or #LITTLE_ENDIAN

See Also:

BIG_ENDIAN, LITTLE_ENDIAN

setByteOrder

public void setByteOrder(int byteOrder)

set byte order

Parameters:

byteOrder -

BIG_ENDIAN, LITTLE_ENDIAN

getFilePointer

public long getFilePointer()
                    throws java.io.IOException

Since this is an interface and is not restricted to files, "getFilePointer" is wrong name for this method. But I leaved it so for easier porting from RandomAccessFile

Returns:

current cursor position

Throws:

java.io.IOException

length

public long length()
            throws java.io.IOException

get length of data

Returns:

data length (in bytes)

Throws:

java.io.IOException

seek

public void seek(long offset)
          throws java.io.IOException

set current cursor position to specified offset

Parameters:

offset - new cursor position

Throws:

java.io.IOException

close

public void close()
           throws java.io.IOException

Throws:

java.io.IOException

isBuffered

public boolean isBuffered()
