Method Detail

isEmpty

default boolean isEmpty()

Specified by:

isEmpty in interface IHasSize

Returns:

true if no items are present, false if at least a single item is present.

See Also:

IHasSize.size(), IHasSize.isNotEmpty()

isNotEmpty

default boolean isNotEmpty()

Specified by:

isNotEmpty in interface IHasSize

Returns:

true if at least one item is present, false if no item is present.

See Also:

IHasSize.size(), IHasSize.isEmpty()

isCopy

boolean isCopy()

Returns:

true if the contained byte array was copied in the constructor or not.

getAllBytes

@Nonnull
 @ReturnsMutableCopy
default byte[] getAllBytes()

Returns:

A copy of all bytes contained. Never null.

bytes

@Nonnull
 @ReturnsMutableObject
byte[] bytes()

Returns:

A reference to the contained byte array. Gives write access to the payload! Never null.

getOffset

@Nonnegative
int getOffset()

Returns:

The offset into the byte array to start reading. This is always 0 when copied. Must be ge; 0.

See Also:

bytes(), IHasSize.size()

hasOffset

default boolean hasOffset()

Returns:

true if an offset is present, false if not.

getInputStream

@Nonnull
default InputStream getInputStream()

Description copied from interface: IHasInputStream

Get the input stream to read from the object. Each time this method is called, a new InputStream needs to be created.

Specified by:

getInputStream in interface IHasInputStream

Returns:

null if resolving failed.

isReadMultiple

default boolean isReadMultiple()

Description copied from interface: IHasInputStream

Check if the InputStream from IHasInputStream.getInputStream() and IHasInputStream.getBufferedInputStream() can be acquired more than once.

Specified by:

isReadMultiple in interface IHasInputStream

Returns:

true if the input stream can be acquired more than once, false if not.

writeTo

default void writeTo(@Nonnull @WillNotClose
                     OutputStream aOS)
              throws IOException

Write the relevant part of the byte array onto the provided output stream.

Parameters:

aOS - The output stream to write to. May not be null.

Throws:

IOException - In case of a write error.

startsWith

default boolean startsWith(@Nonnull
                           byte[] aCmpBytes)

Check if the passed byte array starts with the bytes of this object.

Parameters:

aCmpBytes - The bytes to compare to. May not be null.

Returns:

true if the passed bytes start with the bytes in this object.

getHexEncoded

@Nonnull
default String getHexEncoded()

Returns:

The hex encoded version of this string. Never null but maybe empty, if the underlying array length is empty.
