Enum Constant Detail

DEFAULT

public static final Endianness DEFAULT

Default endianness. This can be different depending on the output format or is used when the image format doesn't allow to specify the endianness.

LITTLE_ENDIAN

public static final Endianness LITTLE_ENDIAN

Little endian, least significant byte first, LSB, Intel Format.

BIG_ENDIAN

public static final Endianness BIG_ENDIAN

Big endian, most significant byte first, MSB, Motorola Format.

Method Detail

values

public static Endianness[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (Endianness c : Endianness.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static Endianness valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getEndianType

public static Endianness getEndianType(String value)

Translates an endian type specified in the configuration file into the equivalent type should one exist.

Parameters:

value - The value specified in the configration file

Returns:

Returns the Endianess object of the found type. If no type matches it returns null.
