Class QSString

java.lang.Object
  |
  +--ostore.util.QSString
All Implemented Interfaces:
Comparable, Digestible, QuickSerializable

public class QSString
extends Object
implements Digestible, Comparable

A dull mirror of the java.lang.String class which implements ostore.util.QuickSerializable. Most of the functionality from the String has not been ported; cast the QSString using toString() and call the String methods directly.

Method Detail

to_bytes

public void to_bytes(byte[] data,
                     int[] offset)
Description copied from interface: QuickSerializable
Store the object in its "on the wire" form in the byte array data, starting at index offset [0], and increment offset [0] by the number of bytes written; if data == null, increment offset [0] by the number of bytes that would have been written otherwise.
Specified by:
to_bytes in interface QuickSerializable
Following copied from interface: ostore.util.QuickSerializable
Parameters:
data - The byte array to store into, or null.
offset - A single element array whose first element is the index in data to begin writing at on function entry, and which on function exit has been incremented by the number of bytes written.

type_code

public int type_code()
Description copied from interface: QuickSerializable
Returns the unique integer associated with this class in the TypeTable.
Specified by:
type_code in interface QuickSerializable
Following copied from interface: ostore.util.QuickSerializable
Returns:
an integer unique to this class

public void add_to_digest(SecureHashBuffer buffer)
Description copied from interface: Digestible
Adds this object's state to the specified SecureHashBuffer using the various add methods.
Specified by:
