BoxHeader

public BoxHeader(Jpeg2000Module mod,
                 java.io.DataInputStream dstrm)

Constructor.

Method Detail

readHeader

public void readHeader()
                throws java.io.IOException

Reads 8 bytes from the beginning of the box and parses out the box length and type.

Throws:

java.io.IOException

getLength

public long getLength()

Returns the box length, which includes the length and type fields. If the value returned is 0, the length of the box is all the remaining data to the end of the file.

getHeaderLength

public long getHeaderLength()

Returns the length of the header. This number is equal to the number of bytes that have been read by readHeader().

getDataLength

public long getDataLength()

Returns the number of bytes in the Box, not including the header. This is equivalent to getLength() - getHeaderLength(). If getLength() would return 0, this value is meaningless.

getType
