Method Details

check

public static void check(int val)

Checks that a numeric Type is valid.

Throws:

InvalidTypeException - The type is out of range.

register

public static void register(int val,
 String str,
 Supplier<Record> factory)

Registers a new record type along with the respective factory. This allows the reimplementation of existing types, the implementation of new types not (yet) supported by the library or the implementation of "private use" record types. Note that the method is not synchronized and its use may interfere with the creation of records in a multi-threaded environment. The method must be used with care in order to avoid unexpected behaviour.

Parameters:

val - the numeric representation of the record type

str - the textual representation of the record type

factory - the factory; null may be used if there is no implementation available. In this case, records of the type will be represented by the UNKRecord class

Since:

3.1

string

public static String string(int val)

Converts a numeric Type into a String

Parameters:

val - The type value.

Returns:

The canonical string representation of the type

Throws:

InvalidTypeException - The type is out of range.

value

public static int value(String s,
 boolean numberok)

Converts a String representation of an Type into its numeric value.

Parameters:

s - The string representation of the type

numberok - Whether a number will be accepted or not.

Returns:

The type code, or -1 on error.

value

public static int value(String s)

Converts a String representation of an Type into its numeric value

Returns:

The type code, or -1 on error.

isRR

public static boolean isRR(int type)

Is this type valid for a record (a non-meta type)?
