Method Detail

• hasData

  boolean hasData()

  Determines if the buffer contains data.

  Returns:

  true if there is data in the buffer, false otherwise.

• length

  int length()

  Returns the length of this buffer.

  Returns:

  buffer length.

• fill

  int fill(ReadableByteChannel src)
           throws IOException

  Makes an attempt to fill the buffer with data from the given ReadableByteChannel.

  Parameters:

  src - the source channel

  Returns:

  The number of bytes read, possibly zero, or -1 if the channel has reached end-of-stream.

  Throws:

  IOException - in case of an I/O error.

• read

  int read()

  Reads one byte from the buffer. If the buffer is empty this method can throw a runtime exception. The exact type of runtime exception thrown by this method depends on implementation.

  Returns:

  one byte

• read

  int read(ByteBuffer dst,
         int maxLen)

  Reads a sequence of bytes from this buffer into the destination buffer, up to the given maximum limit. The exact number of bytes transferred depends on availability of data in this buffer and capacity of the destination buffer, but cannot be more than maxLen value.

  Parameters:

  dst - the destination buffer.

  maxLen - the maximum number of bytes to be read.

  Returns:

  The number of bytes read, possibly zero.

• read

  int read(ByteBuffer dst)

  Reads a sequence of bytes from this buffer into the destination buffer. The exact number of bytes transferred depends on availability of data in this buffer and capacity of the destination buffer.

  Parameters:

  dst - the destination buffer.

  Returns:

  The number of bytes read, possibly zero.

• read

  int read(WritableByteChannel dst,
         int maxLen)
           throws IOException

  Reads a sequence of bytes from this buffer into the destination channel, up to the given maximum limit. The exact number of bytes transferred depends on availability of data in this buffer, but cannot be more than maxLen value.

  Parameters:

  dst - the destination channel.

  maxLen - the maximum number of bytes to be read.

  Returns:

  The number of bytes read, possibly zero.

  Throws:

  IOException - in case of an I/O error.

• read

  int read(WritableByteChannel dst)
           throws IOException

  Reads a sequence of bytes from this buffer into the destination channel. The exact number of bytes transferred depends on availability of data in this buffer.

  Parameters:

  dst - the destination channel.

  Returns:

  The number of bytes read, possibly zero.

  Throws:

  IOException - in case of an I/O error.

• readLine

  boolean readLine(CharArrayBuffer dst,
                 boolean endOfStream)
                   throws IOException

  Attempts to transfer a complete line of characters up to a line delimiter from this buffer to the destination buffer. If a complete line is available in the buffer, the sequence of chars is transferred to the destination buffer the method returns true. The line delimiter itself is discarded. If a complete line is not available in the buffer, this method returns false without transferring anything to the destination buffer. If endOfStream parameter is set to true this method assumes the end of stream has been reached and the content currently stored in the buffer should be treated as a complete line.

  The choice of a char encoding and line delimiter sequence is up to the specific implementations of this interface.

  Parameters:

  dst - the destination buffer.

  endOfStream - end of stream flag

  Returns:

  true if a sequence of chars representing a complete line has been transferred to the destination buffer, false otherwise.

  Throws:

  CharacterCodingException - in case a character encoding or decoding error occurs.

  MessageConstraintException - in case a message constraint violation.
