Interface RandomAccessSource

All Known Implementing Classes:

FileChannelRandomAccessSource, GetBufferedRandomAccessSource, IndependentRandomAccessSource, WindowRandomAccessSource

public interface RandomAccessSource

Represents an abstract source that bytes can be read from. This class forms the foundation for all byte input in iText. Implementations do not keep track of a current 'position', but rather provide absolute get methods. Tracking position should be handled in classes that use RandomAccessSource internally (via composition).

Since:

5.3.5

Method Summary

void	close() Closes this source.
int	get(long position) Gets a byte at the specified position
int	get(long position, byte[] bytes, int off, int len) Gets an array at the specified position.
long	length()

Method Detail

get

int get(long position)
        throws IOException

Gets a byte at the specified position

Parameters:

position -

Returns:

the byte, or -1 if EOF is reached

Throws:

IOException

get

int get(long position,
        byte[] bytes,
        int off,
        int len)
        throws IOException

Gets an array at the specified position. If the number of bytes requested cannot be read, the bytes that can be read will be placed in bytes and the number actually read will be returned.

Parameters:

position - the position in the RandomAccessSource to read from

bytes - output buffer

off - offset into the output buffer where results will be placed

len - the number of bytes to read

Returns:

the number of bytes actually read, or -1 if the file is at EOF

Throws:

IOException

length

long length()

Returns:

the length of this source

close

void close()
           throws IOException

Closes this source. The underlying data structure or source (if any) will also be closed

Throws:

IOException
