Constructor Detail

OtpErlangBinary

public OtpErlangBinary(byte[] bin)

Create a binary from a byte array

Parameters:

bin - the array of bytes from which to create the binary.

OtpErlangBinary

public OtpErlangBinary(java.lang.Object o)

Create a binary from an arbitrary Java Object. The object must implement java.io.Serializable or java.io.Externalizable.

Parameters:

o - the object to serialize and create this binary from.

OtpErlangBinary

public OtpErlangBinary(OtpInputStream buf)
                throws OtpErlangDecodeException

Create a binary from a stream containing a binary encoded in Erlang external format.

Parameters:

buf - the stream containing the encoded binary.

Throws:

OtpErlangDecodeException - if the buffer does not contain a valid external representation of an Erlang binary.

Method Detail

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()

Overrides:

clone in class OtpErlangBitstr

encode

public void encode(OtpOutputStream buf)

Convert this binary to the equivalent Erlang external representation.

Overrides:

encode in class OtpErlangBitstr

Parameters:

buf - an output stream to which the encoded binary should be written.
