Detailed Description

Built-in type consisting of a variable-length array of opaque bytes.

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

Bytes

(

)

Default Constructor.

The default constructor initializes the newly created object with null value, zero length, and zero offset.

Bytes

(

Bytes

src

)

Copy constructor.

Parameters

src	<<in>> Object to copy from.

Exceptions

NullPointerException

if src is null.

Bytes

(

int

theLength

)

Constructor that specifies the size of the allocated bytes array.

After this method is called, length and offset are set to zero.

Parameters

size	<<in>> Size of the allocated bytes array.

Exceptions

IllegalArgumentException

if size is negative

Bytes

(

byte[]

src

)

Create a new Bytes object to wrap the given array.

The value field will point to the given array. The offset will be set to 0. The length will be set to the length of the array unless the array is null, in which case the length will be set to 0 also.

Member Function Documentation

Object copy_from

(

Object

src

)

Copy src into this object.

This method performs a deep copy of src and it allocates memory for the value if required.

Parameters

src	<<in>> Object to copy from.

Returns

this if success. Otherwise, null.

Exceptions

NullPointerException

if src is null.

Member Data Documentation

int length

Number of bytes to serialize.

int offset

Offset from which to start serializing bytes .

The first position of the bytes array has offset 0.

byte [] value

com.rti.dds.type.builtin.com.rti.dds.type.builtin.Bytes array value.
