Method Detail

stringToBytesNullTerminated

public static byte[] stringToBytesNullTerminated(String fileName)

Convert a String filename to a byte array using the deprecated ascii String method for cases where passing it through a character set converter is too heavyweight. Allocates an additional null-terminator byte so that the resulting byte array can be passed to native C functions.

Parameters:

fileName - File name

Returns:

Byte-array representation

stringToBytes

public static byte[] stringToBytes(String fileName)

Convert a String filename to a byte array using the deprecated ascii String method for cases where passing it through a character set converter is too heavyweight.

Parameters:

fileName - File name

Returns:

Byte-array representation

asciiBytesToString

public static String asciiBytesToString(byte[] val)

Convert a byte array to a String assuming the ASCII character set, for use in cases (such as early in the boot process) where character set conversion is unavailable or inadvisable.

Parameters:

val - Byte array to convert

Returns:

The resulting string

asciiBytesToString

public static String asciiBytesToString(byte[] val,
                                        int start,
                                        int length)

Convert a byte array to a String assuming the ASCII character set, for use in cases (such as early in the boot process) where character set conversion is unavailable or inadvisable.

Parameters:

val - Byte array to convert

start - Start the string at this byte

length - Use 'length' bytes

Returns:

The resulting string
