Interface OffsetFormat

Functional Interface:

This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

@FunctionalInterface
public interface OffsetFormat

Functional interface defining a format for appending offset information to a byte sequence.

This interface provides a standardized way to append offset information to Bytes, allowing different implementations to provide different formatting strategies.

Implementations should define the append(long, Bytes) method to handle the formatting and appending operation.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	append(long offset, Bytes<?> bytes) Appends the given offset to the provided Bytes instance.

Method Detail

append

void append(long offset,
            Bytes<?> bytes)

Appends the given offset to the provided Bytes instance.

This method allows the implementation to decide how the offset information should be formatted and appended to the Bytes instance.

Parameters:

offset - the offset to be appended

bytes - the Bytes instance where the offset will be appended

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the offset is negative
