Bytes Class

Methods of the Bytes class enable you to perform specific tasks related to Bytes objects.

Table 12-9 Summary of Bytes Methods

Method Summary
Bytes()
Bytes class constructor.
byteAt()
Returns the byte at the specified position of the Bytes object.
getBytes()
Returns a byte array from the Bytes object.
isNull()
Tests whether the Bytes object is NULL.
length()
Returns the number of bytes in the Bytes object.
operator=()
Assignment operator for Bytes class.
setNull()
Sets the Bytes object to NULL.


Bytes()

Bytes class constructor.

Syntax Description
Bytes(
   Environment *env = NULL);
Creates a Bytes object.
Bytes(
   unsigned char *value,
   unsigned int count
   unsigned int offset = 0,
   const Environment *env = NULL);
Creates a Bytes object that contains a subarray of bytes from a character array.
Bytes(
   const Bytes &e);
Creates a copy of a Bytes object, use the syntax

Parameter Description
env
Environment
value
Initial value of the new object
count
The size of the subset of the character array that will be copied into the new bytes object
offset
The first position from which to begin copying the character array
e
The source Bytes object.


byteAt()

Returns the byte at the specified position in the Bytes object.

Syntax

unsigned char byteAt(
   unsigned int index) const;
Parameter Description
index
The position of the byte to be returned from the Bytes object; the first byte of the Bytes object is at 0.


getBytes()

Copies bytes from a Bytes object into the specified byte array.

Syntax

void getBytes(
   unsigned char *dst,
   unsigned int count,
   unsigned int srcBegin = 0,
   unsigned int dstBegin = 0) const;
Parameter Description
dst
The destination buffer into which data from the Bytes object is to be written.
count
The number of bytes to copy.
srcBegin
The starting position at which data is to be read from the Bytes object; the position of the first byte in the Bytes object is at 0.
dstBegin
The starting position at which data is to be written in the destination buffer; the position of the first byte in dst is at 0.


isNull()

Tests whether the Bytes object is atomically NULL. If the Bytes object is atomically NULL, then TRUE is returned; otherwise FALSE is returned.

Syntax

bool isNull() const;


length()

This method returns the length of the Bytes object.

Syntax

unsigned int length() const;


operator=()

Assignment operator for Bytes class.

Syntax

void operator=(
   const Bytes& bytes); 

Parameter Description
bytes
The original Bytes.


setNull()

This method sets the Bytes object to atomically NULL.

Syntax

void setNull();
