Class DataInputBlock

java.lang.Object

org.zkoss.poi.poifs.storage.DataInputBlock

public final class DataInputBlock
extends java.lang.Object

Wraps a byte array and provides simple data input access. Internally, this class maintains a buffer read index, so that for the most part, primitive data can be read in a data-input-stream-like manner.

Note - the calling class should call the available() method to detect end-of-buffer and move to the next data block when the current is exhausted. For optimisation reasons, no error handling is performed in this class. Thus, mistakes in calling code ran may raise ugly exceptions here, like ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException, etc .

The multi-byte primitive input methods (readUShortLE(), readIntLE() and readLongLE()) have corresponding 'spanning read' methods which (when required) perform a read across the block boundary. These spanning read methods take the previous DataInputBlock as a parameter. Reads of larger amounts of data (into byte array buffers) must be managed by the caller since these could conceivably involve more than two blocks.
