Method Summary

boolean	equals(Object o) Equate two sequences of bytes.
byte[]	getBytes() Get the actual bytes of this sequence of bytes.
int	hashCode() Compute the hashcode of this sequences of bytes.
int	size() Get the size of this sequence of bytes.
String	toString() Get a string representation of this sequence of bytes.

Method Detail

size

int size()

Get the size of this sequence of bytes.

Returns:

the size of the sequence

getBytes

byte[] getBytes()

equals

boolean equals(Object o)

Equate two sequences of bytes.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Returns:

true if and only if this sequence of bytes is equivalent to the given object

hashCode

int hashCode()

Compute the hashcode of this sequences of bytes.

Overrides:

hashCode in class Object

Returns:

the hashcode
