Constructor Detail

SegmentHeader

public SegmentHeader()

Null constructor.

SegmentHeader

public SegmentHeader(int tag,
                     DataType dataType)

Constructor.

Parameters:

tag - the tag for the segment header.

dataType - the data type for the content of the segment.

Method Detail

getHeaderLength

public int getHeaderLength()

Get the length of the structure's header in ints. This includes the first header word itself (which contains the length) and in the case of banks, it also includes the second header word.

Specified by:

getHeaderLength in class BaseStructureHeader

Returns:

Get the length of the structure's header in ints.

toString

public java.lang.String toString()

Obtain a string representation of the segment header.

Overrides:

toString in class BaseStructureHeader

Returns:

a string representation of the segment header.

write

public int write(java.nio.ByteBuffer byteBuffer)

Write myself out a byte buffer. This write is relative--i.e., it uses the current position of the buffer.

Parameters:

byteBuffer - the byteBuffer to write to.

Returns:

the number of bytes written, which for a SegmentHeader is 4.
