JadeBytes Methods

The methods defined in the JadeBytes class are summarized in the following table.

Method	Description
add	Appends one byte at the end of the binary content of the receiver
allocate	Allocates a specified amount of virtual storage on the receiver for binary content
appendData	Appends binary data at the end of the binary content of the receiver
at	Returns the byte at the specified offset from the binary content of the receiver
atPut	Places a specified byte value at a specified offset in the binary content of the receiver
clear	Clears the binary content of the receiver
copy	Copies the binary content of the receiver to an empty JadeBytes object
createIterator	Creates an iterator for the receiver that can iterate in the forwards iteration only
display	Returns a string containing a textual description of the state and binary content of the receiver
extractToFile	Extracts the binary content of the receiver to a file with a specified file name
extractToFileDirect	Extracts the binary content of the receiver to a file with a specified file name
extractUsingFile	Extracts the binary content of the receiver to a file using a specified File object
first	Returns the first byte of the binary content of the receiver
getContent	Returns the binary content of the receiver
getData	Returns a specified number of bytes from the binary content of the receiver starting at a specified offset
getFileTitle	Returns the path and file name of the dedicated file associated with a singleFile instance
getLength	Returns the length allocated to the receiver for storage of binary content
getSegmentCount	Returns the number of segments allocated to the receiver for storage of binary content
getSegmentSize	Returns the system assigned segment size in bytes
getStatistics	Populates a dynamic object with structural statistics
grow	Increases the virtual storage allocated to the receiver for binary content to the specified length
isEmpty	Returns true if no content has been assigned and no storage space has been allocated
last	Returns the last byte of the binary content of the receiver
loadFromFile	Loads the binary content of the receiver from a file with a specified file name
loadFromFileDirect	Loads the binary content of the receiver from a file with a specified file name
loadUsingFile	Loads the binary content of the receiver using a specified File object
matchChecksum	Calculates the MD5 checksum of the current binary contents and returns true if it matches the current stored checksum
purge	Clears the binary content of the receiver
putData	Places the specified binary data at a specified offset in the binary content of the receiver
setCaching	Enables or disables caching of the binary content of the receiver
setContent	Sets or replaces the binary content of the receiver with the specified data
setExpectedLength	Specifies the expected total length of the binary content of an empty receiver
truncate	Truncates the binary content of the receiver to the specified length
updateChecksum	Calculates the MD5 checksum of the current binary contents and updates the current stored checksum to match
