Method Detail

bigEndianToUnsignedInt

public static final int bigEndianToUnsignedInt(byte[] b)

Extract an unsigned big endian integer from an entire byte array.

Parameters:

b - the byte array which is the big endian encoded integer

Returns:

the unsigned integer value

bigEndianToUnsignedInt

public static final int bigEndianToUnsignedInt(byte[] b,
                                               int offset,
                                               int length)

Extract an unsigned big endian integer from a byte array.

Parameters:

b - the byte array containing the big endian encoded integer

offset - the offset of the start of the integer in the byte array

length - the number of bytes that the integer occupies in the byte array

Returns:

the unsigned integer value

concatenate

public static final byte[] concatenate(byte[] src1,
                                       byte[] src2)

Concatenate the entire contents of two byte arrays into a new byte array.

Parameters:

src1 - the first byte array

src2 - the second byte array

Returns:

a new byte array containing the bytes extracted from the first array followed by the bytes extracted from the second array

concatenate

public static final byte[] concatenate(byte[] src1,
                                       int offset1,
                                       int length1,
                                       byte[] src2,
                                       int offset2,
                                       int length2)

Concatenate portions of two byte arrays into a new byte array.

Parameters:

src1 - the first byte array

offset1 - the offset of the bytes to be extracted from the first byte array

length1 - the number of bytes to be extracted from the first byte array

src2 - the second byte array

offset2 - the offset of the bytes to be extracted from the second byte array

length2 - the number of bytes to be extracted from the second byte array

Returns:

a new byte array containing the bytes extracted from the first array followed by the bytes extracted from the second array

extractBytes

public static final byte[] extractBytes(byte[] src,
                                        int offset,
                                        int length)

Extract a portion of a byte array into a new byte array.

Parameters:

src - the source byte array

offset - the offset of the bytes to be extracted

length - the number of bytes to be extracted

Returns:

a new byte array containing the extracted bytes

main

public static void main(String[] arg)

Testing.

Parameters:

arg - ignored

swapEndianness

public static final void swapEndianness(byte[] src,
                                        int byteCount,
                                        int wordLength)

Swap the byte order (endianness) of fixed length words within a byte array.

Parameters:

src - the byte array (swapped in place)

byteCount - the number of bytes in the array to swap

wordLength - the length in bytes of each word
