    • Method Detail

      • isReadOnly

        boolean isReadOnly()
                    throws java.io.IOException
        Returns true if this file may not be modified via the buffer put method. A read-only file may be considered "updateable" if the canSave method returns true. The term "updateable" means that a Save file can be obtained via the getSaveFile method.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs
      • setReadOnly

        boolean setReadOnly()
                     throws java.io.IOException
        If file is open read-write, the modified contents are flushed and the file re-opened as read-only. This is also used to commit a new version if the file had been modified for update.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs
      • getParameter

        int getParameter​(java.lang.String name)
                  throws java.util.NoSuchElementException,
                         java.io.IOException
        Get a the stored value for a named parameter.
        Parameters:
        name - parameter name
        Returns:
        integer value
        Throws:
        java.util.NoSuchElementException - thrown if parameter not found
        java.io.IOException
      • setParameter

        void setParameter​(java.lang.String name,
                          int value)
                   throws java.io.IOException
        Set the integer value for a named parameter.
        Parameters:
        name - parameter name
        value - parameter value
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
      • clearParameters

        void clearParameters()
                      throws java.io.IOException
        Deletes all parameters
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
      • getParameterNames

        java.lang.String[] getParameterNames()
                                      throws java.io.IOException
        Returns a list of all parameter names.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
      • getBufferSize

        int getBufferSize()
                   throws java.io.IOException
        Return the actual size of a user data buffer. This value should be used when constructing DataBuffer objects.
        Returns:
        DataBuffer data size as a number of bytes
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs
      • getIndexCount

        int getIndexCount()
                   throws java.io.IOException
        Returns the number of allocated buffer indexes. When a new buffer is allocated, and the file size grows, the buffer will remain allocated although it may be added to the list of free-indexes. A file will never shrink in size due to this permanent allocation.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
      • getFreeIndexes

        int[] getFreeIndexes()
                      throws java.io.IOException
        Returns the list of free indexes sorted by value. The management of the free-index-list is implementation specific.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
      • setFreeIndexes

        void setFreeIndexes​(int[] indexes)
                     throws java.io.IOException
        Sets the list of free buffer indexes. The management of the free-index-list is implementation specific.
        Parameters:
        indexes -
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException
      • close

        void close()
            throws java.io.IOException
        Close the buffer file. If the file was open for write access, all buffers are flushed and the file header updated. Once closed, this object is immediately disposed and may no longer be used.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs
      • delete

        boolean delete()
                throws java.io.IOException
        Delete this buffer file if writable. Once deleted, this object is immediately disposed and may no longer be used.
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
      • dispose

        void dispose()
        Dispose of this buffer file object. If file is not readOnly and has not been closed, an attempt will be made to delete the associated file(s). Once disposed, it may no longer be used.
      • get

        DataBuffer get​(DataBuffer buf,
                       int index)
                throws java.io.IOException
        Get the specified buffer. DataBuffer data and flags are read from the file at index and stored within the supplied DataBuffer object. If the read buffer is empty, the DataBuffer's data field will remain unchanged (which could be null).
        Parameters:
        buf - a buffer whose data array will be filled-in or replaced.
        index - index of buffer to be read. First user buffer is at index 0.
        Throws:
        java.io.EOFException - if the requested buffer index is greater than the number of available buffers of the end-of-file was encountered while reading the buffer.
        java.io.IOException - if an I/O error occurs
      • put

        void put​(DataBuffer buf,
                 int index)
          throws java.io.IOException
        Store a data buffer at the specified block index.
        Parameters:
        buf - data buffer
        index - block index
        Throws:
        java.io.IOException - thrown if an IO error occurs
