public class MultiBufferReadBuffer
extends AbstractReadBuffer

The MultiBufferReadBuffer is a ReadBuffer implementation that presents a view across any number of underlying ReadBuffer objects, as if they were appended end-to-end into a single ReadBuffer.

Constructor Detail

MultiBufferReadBuffer

public MultiBufferReadBuffer(ReadBuffer[] abuf)

Construct a MultiBufferReadBuffer from an array of underlying ReadBuffer objects.

Parameters:

abuf - an array of ReadBuffer objects from which to construct this MultiBufferReadBuffer

Method Detail

length

public int length()

Determine the length of the buffer.

Returns:

the number of bytes of data represented by this ReadBuffer

byteAt

public byte byteAt(int of)

Returns the byte at the specified offset. An offset ranges from 0 to length() - 1. The first byte of the sequence is at offset 0, the next at offset 1, and so on, as for array indexing.

Parameters:

of - the offset (index) of the byte

Returns:

the byte at the specified offset in this ReadBuffer

copyBytes

public void copyBytes(int ofBegin,
                      int ofEnd,
                      byte[] abDest,
                      int ofDest)

Copies bytes from this ReadBuffer into the destination byte array.

The first byte to be copied is at offset ofBegin; the last byte to be copied is at offset ofEnd-1 (thus the total number of bytes to be copied is ofEnd - ofBegin). The bytes are copied into the subarray of abDest starting at offset ofDest and ending at index:

     ofDest + (ofEnd - ofBegin) - 1
 

This method is the ReadBuffer equivalent of String.getChars(int, int, char[], int). It allows the caller to extract a chunk of bytes into the caller's own array.

Parameters:

ofBegin - offset of the first byte in the ReadBuffer to copy

ofEnd - offset after the last byte in the ReadBuffer to copy

abDest - the destination byte array

ofDest - the offset in the destination byte array to copy the first byte to

instantiateReadBuffer

protected ReadBuffer instantiateReadBuffer(int of,
                                           int cb)

Factory method: Instantiate a ReadBuffer for a portion of this ReadBuffer.

Specified by:

instantiateReadBuffer in class AbstractReadBuffer

Parameters:

of - the beginning index, inclusive

cb - the number of bytes to include in the resulting ReadBuffer

Returns:

a ReadBuffer that represents a portion of this ReadBuffer

instantiateBufferInput

protected ReadBuffer.BufferInput instantiateBufferInput()

Factory method: Instantiate a BufferInput object to read data from the ReadBuffer.

Overrides:

instantiateBufferInput in class AbstractReadBuffer

Returns:

a new BufferInput reading from this ReadBuffer

getBufferCount

protected int getBufferCount()

Determine the number of ReadBuffer objects that contain the data presented by this MultiBufferReadBuffer.

Returns:

the count of underlying ReadBuffer objects

getBufferOffset

protected int getBufferOffset(int iBuffer)

Determine the offset of the specified buffer. The offset of a buffer is the absolute offset of the first byte stored in the buffer.

Parameters:

iBuffer - an index 0 <= iBuffer < getBufferCount()

Returns:

the absolute offset of the first byte of the specified ReadBuffer

getBuffer

protected ReadBuffer getBuffer(int iBuffer)

Obtain the specified buffer.

Parameters:

iBuffer - an index 0 <= iBuffer < getBufferCount()

Returns:

the specified ReadBuffer

getBufferIndexByOffset

protected int getBufferIndexByOffset(int of)

Determine which underlying ReadBuffer contains the specified offset.

Parameters:

of - an offset into this MultiBufferReadBuffer

Returns:

the index of the ReadBuffer containing the specified offset
