Class BufferedRandomAccessFile

java.lang.Object

jj2000.j2k.io.BufferedRandomAccessFile

All Implemented Interfaces:

BinaryDataInput, BinaryDataOutput, EndianType, RandomAccessIO

Direct Known Subclasses:

BEBufferedRandomAccessFile

public abstract class BufferedRandomAccessFile
extends Object
implements RandomAccessIO, EndianType

This class defines a Buffered Random Access File. It implements the BinaryDataInput and BinaryDataOutput interfaces so that binary data input/output can be performed. This class is abstract since no assumption is done about the byte ordering type (little Endian, big Endian). So subclasses will have to implement methods like readShort(), writeShort(), readFloat(), ...

BufferedRandomAccessFile (BRAF for short) is a RandomAccessFile containing an extra buffer. When the BRAF is accessed, it checks if the requested part of the file is in the buffer or not. If that is the case, the read/write is done on the buffer. If not, the file is uppdated to reflect the current status of the buffer and the file is then accessed for a new buffer containing the requested byte/bit.

read

public final int read()
               throws IOException,

Reads an unsigned byte of data from the stream. Prior to reading, the stream is realigned at the byte level.

Specified by:

read in interface RandomAccessIO

Returns:

The byte read.

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error ocurred.

EOFException - If the end of file was reached

readFully

public final void readFully(byte[] b,
             int off,
             int len)
                     throws IOException

Reads up to len bytes of data from this file into an array of bytes. This method reads repeatedly from the stream until all the bytes are read. This method blocks until all the bytes are read, the end of the stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.

Specified by:

readFully in interface RandomAccessIO

Parameters:

b - The buffer into which the data is to be read. It must be long enough.

off - The index in 'b' where to place the first byte read.

len - The number of bytes to read.

Throws:

EOFException - If the end-of file was reached before getting all the necessary data.

IOException - If an I/O error ocurred.

write

public final void write(int b)
                 throws IOException

Writes a byte to the stream. Prior to writing, the stream is realigned at the byte level.

Specified by:

write in interface RandomAccessIO

Parameters:

b - The byte to write. The lower 8 bits of b are written.

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error ocurred.

write

public final void write(byte b)
                 throws IOException

Writes a byte to the stream. Prior to writing, the stream is realigned at the byte level.

Parameters:

b - The byte to write.

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error ocurred.

write

public final void write(byte[] b,
         int offset,
         int length)

public final void writeByte(int v)
                     throws IOException

Writes the byte value of v (i.e., 8 least significant bits) to the output. Prior to writing, the output should be realigned at the byte level.

Signed or unsigned data can be written. To write a signed value just pass the byte value as an argument. To write unsigned data pass the int value as an argument (it will be automatically casted, and only the 8 least significant bits will be written).

Specified by:

writeByte in interface BinaryDataOutput

Parameters:

v - The value to write to the output

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error ocurred.

flush

public final void flush()

flush in interface BinaryDataOutput

Throws:

IOException - If an I/O error ocurred.

readByte

public final byte readByte()

                           IOException

Reads a signed byte (i.e., 8 bit) from the input. Prior to reading, the input should be realigned at the byte level.

Specified by:

readByte in interface BinaryDataInput

Returns:

The next byte-aligned signed byte (8 bit) from the input.

Throws:

EOFException - If the end-of file was reached before getting all the necessary data.

IOException - If an I/O error ocurred.

                                  IOException

Reads an unsigned byte (i.e., 8 bit) from the input. It is returned as an int since Java does not have an unsigned byte type. Prior to reading, the input should be realigned at the byte level.

Specified by:

readUnsignedByte in interface BinaryDataInput

Returns:

The next byte-aligned unsigned byte (8 bit) from the input, as an int.

Throws:

EOFException - If the end-of file was reached before getting all the necessary data.

IOException - If an I/O error ocurred.

getByteOrdering

public int getByteOrdering()
