public interface DiskStructure

Interface for classes that represent data sturctures on disk.

Method Summary

int	getDataSize() Get the size in bytes of the structure.
void	loadFromBuffer(byte[] buffer, int offset) Loads the object from a memory buffer

Method Detail

getDataSize

public int getDataSize()

Get the size in bytes of the structure. For variable length sturctures this may represent the minimum length rather than the actual length.

Returns:

the size of the structure.

loadFromBuffer

public void loadFromBuffer(byte[] buffer,
                           int offset)
                    throws FsException

Loads the object from a memory buffer

Parameters:

buffer - a byte[] containing data to be read in populating the object

offset - a int indicating the offset within the buffer to start parsing.

Throws:

FsException - if a parse error occurs.
