Class BytesToUnicode

public byte[] inbuffer

Buffer to read bytes from. The characters inbuffer[inpos] ... inbuffer[inlength-1] are available.

public int inlength

End of valid bytes in buffer.

public int inpos

Starting index in buffer to read bytes from.

public void done()

Indicate that the converter is resuable. This class keeps track of converters on a per-encoding basis. When done with an encoder you may call this method to indicate that it can be reused later.

public static BytesToUnicode getDecoder(String encoding)
            throws UnsupportedEncodingException

Get a byte-stream->char-stream converter given an encoding name.

public static BytesToUnicode getDefaultDecoder()

public abstract String getName()

public abstract int read(char[] outbuffer,
                         int outpos,
                         int count)

Convert bytes to chars. Input bytes are taken from this.inbuffer. The available input bytes start at inbuffer[inpos], and end at inbuffer[inlength-1].

Parameters:

outbuffer - buffer for the converted character

outpos - position in buffer to start putting converted characters

count - the maximum number of characters to convert

Returns:

number of chars placed in outbuffer. Also, this.inpos is incremented by the number of bytes consumed. (Note the asymmetry in that the input upper bound is inbuffer[inlength-1], while the output upper bound is outbuffer[outpos+count-1]. The justification is that inlength is like the count field of a BufferedInputStream, while the count parameter is like the length parameter of a read request.) The count parameter is also defined to be <= outbuffer.length - outpos (per the specification of the length parameter for a read request).

public final void setInput(byte[] buffer,
                           int pos,
                           int length)

Make input bytes available to the conversion.

Parameters:

buffer - source of input bytes

pos - index of first available byte

length - one more than index of last available byte
