Class ants.TypeID 

java.lang.Object
   |
   +----ants.TypeID
public final class TypeID
extends Object
Capsule, Method, CodeGroup and Protocol identifiers. This class wraps 128 bit MD5 hashes stored in byte arrays.

Constructor Index

o TypeID(byte[], int)
Construct and initialize by deep copy

Method Index

o compare(TypeID)
Compare two TypeIDs
o equals(Object)
o hashCode()
o intern()
Intern a TypeID and return its cannonical value
o sortVector(Vector)
Sort a vector of TypeIDs, ranking them with the compare method.
o toString()
o unwrap()
Unwrap, returning the inner byte array
o wrap(byte[])
Construct and initialize by shallow copy.

Constructors

o TypeID 
 public TypeID(byte buf[],
               int offset)
Construct and initialize by deep copy

Methods

o hashCode 
 public int hashCode()
Overrides:
hashCode in class Object
o equals 
 public boolean equals(Object obj)
Overrides:
equals in class Object
o intern 
 public TypeID intern()
Intern a TypeID and return its cannonical value

o compare 
 public int compare(TypeID t)
Compare two TypeIDs

Returns:
s -1 (this < t), 0 (this.equals(t), 1 (this > t)
o sortVector 
 public static void sortVector(Vector ids)
Sort a vector of TypeIDs, ranking them with the compare method. Good for short vectors only -- implemented with insertion sort.

o toString 
 public String toString()
Overrides:
toString in class Object
o wrap 
 public static TypeID wrap(byte buf[])
Construct and initialize by shallow copy. The different notation is meant to emphasize that a complete object is not being created but rather an existing object is being packaged for convenience.

o unwrap 
 public byte[] unwrap()
Unwrap, returning the inner byte array
