Method Detail

getShortUTFLength

public static int getShortUTFLength(String s)
                             throws UTFDataFormatException

Get the number of bytes used by the modified UTF-8 encoded form of the given string. If the length is greater than 65536, an exception is thrown.

Parameters:

s - the string

Returns:

the length

Throws:

UTFDataFormatException - if the string is longer than 65536 characters

getLongUTFLength

public static long getLongUTFLength(String s)

Get the number of bytes used by the modified UTF-8 encoded form of the given string.

Parameters:

s - the string

Returns:

the length

writeUTFBytes

public static void writeUTFBytes(ByteOutput output,
                                 String s)
                          throws IOException

Write the modified UTF-8 form of the given string to the given output.

Parameters:

output - the output to write to

s - the string

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs

readUTFBytes

public static String readUTFBytes(ByteInput input,
                                  int len)
                           throws IOException

Read the given number of characters from the given byte input. The length given is in characters, NOT in bytes.

Parameters:

input - the byte source

len - the number of characters to read

Returns:

the string

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs

readUTFZBytes

public static String readUTFZBytes(ByteInput input)
                            throws IOException

Read a null-terminated modified UTF-8 string from the given byte input. Bytes are read until a 0 is found or until the end of the stream, whichever comes first.

Parameters:

input - the input

Returns:

the string

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs
