public class Util
extends Object

General utilities needed to read and write RPM files. Some of these utilities are available elsewhere but reproduced here to minimize runtime dependencies.

Method Detail

normalizePath

public static String normalizePath(String path)

Converts path characters from their native format to the "forward-slash" format expected within RPM files.

fill

public static ByteBuffer fill(ReadableByteChannel in,
                              int size)
                       throws IOException

Creates a new buffer and fills it with bytes from the provided channel. The amount of data to read is specified in the arguments.

Parameters:

in - the channel to read from

size - the number of bytes to read into a new buffer

Returns:

a new buffer containing the bytes read

Throws:

IOException - if an IO error occurs

fill

public static ByteBuffer fill(ReadableByteChannel in,
                              ByteBuffer buffer)
                       throws IOException

Fills the provided buffer it with bytes from the provided channel. The amount of data to read is dependant on the available space in the provided buffer.

Parameters:

in - the channel to read from

buffer - the buffer to read into

Returns:

the provided buffer

Throws:

IOException - if an IO error occurs

empty

public static void empty(WritableByteChannel out,
                         ByteBuffer buffer)
                  throws IOException

Empties the contents of the given buffer into the writable channel provided. The buffer will be copied to the channel in it's entirety.

Parameters:

out - the channel to write to

buffer - the buffer to write out to the channel

Throws:

IOException - if an IO error occurs

check

public static void check(int expected,
                         int actual)
                  throws IOException

Checks that two integers are the same, while generating a formatted error message if they are not. The error message will indicate the hex value of the integers if they do not match.

Parameters:

expected - the expected value

actual - the actual value

Throws:

IOException - if the two values do not match

check

public static void check(byte expected,
                         byte actual)
                  throws IOException

Checks that two bytes are the same, while generating a formatted error message if they are not. The error message will indicate the hex value of the bytes if they do not match.

Parameters:

expected - the expected value

actual - the actual value

Throws:

IOException - if the two values do not match

difference

public static int difference(int start,
                             int boundary)

round

public static int round(int start,
                        int boundary)

pad

public static void pad(ByteBuffer buffer,
                       int boundary)

Pads the given buffer up to the indicated boundary. The RPM file format requires that headers be aligned with various boundaries, this method pads output to match the requirements.

Parameters:

buffer - the buffer to pad zeros into

boundary - the boundary to which we need to pad

dump

public static void dump(byte[] data)

dump

public static void dump(byte[] data,
                        Appendable out)

dump

public static void dump(char[] data)

dump

public static void dump(CharSequence data)

dump

public static void dump(char[] data,
                        Appendable out)

dump

public static void dump(ByteBuffer buf,
                        Appendable out)

hex

public static String hex(byte[] data)
