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(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.

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.
Method Detail

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.

clone

public java.lang.Object clone()
Overrides:
clone in class OtpErlangBitstr
