asReader
ByteSequenceReader asReader()
Returns aByteSequenceReaderwhich can be used to incrementally read and decode data from this byte sequence.NOTE: any concurrent changes to the underlying byte sequence (if mutable) may cause subsequent reads to overrun and fail.
- Returns:
- The
ByteSequenceReaderwhich can be used to incrementally read and decode data from this byte sequence.
-
byteAt
byte byteAt(int index)
Returns the byte value at the specified index.An index ranges from zero to
length() - 1. The first byte value of the sequence is at index zero, the next at index one, and so on, as for array indexing.- Parameters:
index- The index of the byte to be returned.- Returns:
- The byte value at the specified index.
- Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException- If the index argument is negative or not less than length().
-
compareTo
int compareTo(byte[] bytes, int offset, int length)Compares this byte sequence with the specified byte array subsequence for order. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer depending on whether this byte sequence is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified byte array subsequence.- Parameters:
bytes- The byte array to compare.offset- The offset of the subsequence in the byte array to be compared; must be non-negative and no larger thanbytes.length.length- The length of the subsequence in the byte array to be compared; must be non-negative and no larger thanbytes.length - offset.- Returns:
- A negative integer, zero, or a positive integer depending on whether this byte sequence is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified byte array subsequence.
- Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException- Ifoffsetis negative or iflengthis negative or ifoffset + lengthis greater thanbytes.length.
-
compareTo
int compareTo(ByteSequence o)
Compares this byte sequence with the specified byte sequence for order. Returns a negative integer, zero, or a positive integer depending on whether this byte sequence is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.- Specified by:
compareToin interfaceComparable<ByteSequence>- Parameters:
o- The byte sequence to be compared.- Returns:
- A negative integer, zero, or a positive integer depending on whether this byte sequence is less than, equal to, or greater than the specified object.
-
copyTo
byte[] copyTo(byte[] bytes)
Copies the contents of this byte sequence to the provided byte array.Copying will stop when either the entire content of this sequence has been copied or if the end of the provided byte array has been reached.
An invocation of the form:
src.copyTo(bytes)
Behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation:src.copyTo(bytes, 0);
- Parameters:
bytes- The byte array to which bytes are to be copied.- Returns:
- The byte array.
-
copyTo
byte[] copyTo(byte[] bytes, int offset)Copies the contents of this byte sequence to the specified location in the provided byte array.Copying will stop when either the entire content of this sequence has been copied or if the end of the provided byte array has been reached.
An invocation of the form:
src.copyTo(bytes, offset)
Behaves in exactly the same way as the invocation:int len = Math.min(src.length(), bytes.length - offset); for (int i = 0; i < len; i++) bytes[offset + i] = src.get(i);Except that it is potentially much more efficient.- Parameters:
bytes- The byte array to which bytes are to be copied.offset- The offset within the array of the first byte to be written; must be non-negative and no larger than bytes.length.- Returns:
- The byte array.
- Throws:
IndexOutOfBoundsException- Ifoffsetis negative.
-

Appends the content of this byte sequence to the providedByteBufferstarting at it's current position. The position of the buffer is then incremented by the length of this sequence.- Parameters:
buffer- The buffer to copy to. It must be large enough to receive all bytes.- Returns:
- The buffer.
- Throws:
BufferOverflowException- If there is insufficient space in the provided buffer
-
copyTo
boolean copyTo(CharBuffer charBuffer, CharsetDecoder decoder)
Appends the content of this byte sequence decoded using provided charset decoder to the providedCharBufferstarting at it's current position. The position of charBuffer is then incremented by the length of this sequence.- Parameters:

equals
boolean equals(byte[] bytes, int offset, int length)Indicates whether the provided byte array subsequence is equal to this byte sequence. In order for it to be considered equal, the provided byte array subsequence must contain the same bytes in the same order.- Parameters:

Tests if this ByteSequence starts with the specified prefix.- Parameters:
prefix- The prefix.- Returns:
- true if the byte sequence represented by the argument is a prefix of the byte sequence represented by this ByteSequence; false otherwise. Note also that true will be returned if the argument is an empty sequence or is equal to this ByteSequence object as determined by the equals(Object) method.
