Method Detail

parseOctal

public static long parseOctal(byte[] buffer,
                              int offset,
                              int length)

Parse an octal string from a buffer.

Leading spaces are ignored. The buffer must contain a trailing space or NUL, and may contain an additional trailing space or NUL.

The input buffer is allowed to contain all NULs, in which case the method returns 0L (this allows for missing fields).

To work-around some tar implementations that insert a leading NUL this method returns 0 if it detects a leading NUL since Ant 1.9.

Parameters:

buffer - The buffer from which to parse.

offset - The offset into the buffer from which to parse.

length - The maximum number of bytes to parse - must be at least 2 bytes.

Returns:

The long value of the octal string.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the trailing space/NUL is missing or if a invalid byte is detected.

parseOctalOrBinary

public static long parseOctalOrBinary(byte[] buffer,
                                      int offset,
                                      int length)

Compute the value contained in a byte buffer. If the most significant bit of the first byte in the buffer is set, this bit is ignored and the rest of the buffer is interpreted as a binary number. Otherwise, the buffer is interpreted as an octal number as per the parseOctal function above.

Parameters:

buffer - The buffer from which to parse.

offset - The offset into the buffer from which to parse.

length - The maximum number of bytes to parse.

Returns:

The long value of the octal or binary string.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if the trailing space/NUL is missing or an invalid byte is detected in an octal number, or if a binary number would exceed the size of a signed long 64-bit integer.

parseBoolean

public static boolean parseBoolean(byte[] buffer,
                                   int offset)

Parse a boolean byte from a buffer. Leading spaces and NUL are ignored. The buffer may contain trailing spaces or NULs.

Parameters:

buffer - The buffer from which to parse.

offset - The offset into the buffer from which to parse.

Returns:

The boolean value of the bytes.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if an invalid byte is detected.

parseName

                                         int offset,
                                         int length)

Parse an entry name from a buffer. Parsing stops when a NUL is found or the buffer length is reached.

Parameters:

offset - The offset into the buffer from which to parse.

length - The maximum number of bytes to parse.

Returns:

The entry name.
