                                      throws java.lang.IllegalArgumentException

This method checks given string will not exceed limit in bytes[] when converted UTF-16LE encoding (2 bytes per character) and checks whether the length doesn't exceed 65535 bytes.

Parameters:

value - The string to check.

Throws:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - If byte representation takes more than 65535 bytes.

isStringLengthValidNullSafe

public static boolean isStringLengthValidNullSafe(java.lang.String value)

Parameters:

value - String to check for null

Returns:

true unless string is too long

copy

public static void copy(java.io.InputStream source,
                        java.io.OutputStream dest,
                        long amount)
                 throws java.io.IOException

effectively copies a specified amount of bytes from one stream to another.

Parameters:

source - stream to read from

dest - stream to write to

amount - amount of bytes to copy

Throws:

java.io.IOException - on I/O errors, and if the source stream depletes before all bytes have been copied.

flush

public static void flush(java.io.InputStream source,
                         java.io.OutputStream dest)
                  throws java.io.IOException

getBytes

public static byte[] getBytes(long value,
                              int byteCount)

This method will create a byte[] at the size of byteCount and insert the bytes of value (starting from lowset byte) into it.
You can easily create a Word (16-bit), DWORD (32-bit), QWORD (64 bit) out of the value, ignoring the original type of value, since java automatically performs transformations.
Warning: This method works with unsigned numbers only.

Parameters:

value - The value to be written into the result.

byteCount - The number of bytes the array has got.

Returns:

A byte[] with the size of byteCount containing the lower byte values of value.

                              java.nio.charset.Charset charset)

Convenience method to convert the given string into a byte sequence which has the format of the charset given.

Parameters:

source - string to convert.

charset - charset to apply

Returns:

the source's binary representation according to the charset.

getDateOf

public static java.util.GregorianCalendar getDateOf(java.math.BigInteger fileTime)

Date values in ASF files are given in 100 ns (10 exp -4) steps since first

Parameters:

fileTime - Time in 100ns since 1 jan 1601

Returns:

Calendar holding the date representation.

isBlank

public static boolean isBlank(java.lang.String toTest)

Tests if the given string is null or just contains whitespace characters.

Parameters:

This method reads a UTF-16 String, which length is given on the number of characters it consists of.
The stream must be at the number of characters. This number contains the terminating zero character (UINT16).

stream - Input source

Returns:

String

Throws:

java.io.IOException - read errors

readFixedSizeUTF16Str

public static java.lang.String readFixedSizeUTF16Str(java.io.InputStream stream,

                                              throws java.io.IOException

This method reads a UTF-16 encoded String.
For the use this method the number of bytes used by current string must be known.
The ASF specification recommends that those strings end with a terminating zero. However it also says that it is not always the case.

Parameters:

stream - Input source.

Returns:

A class wrapping the guid.

Throws:

java.io.IOException - happens when the file ends before guid could be extracted.
