Method Detail

translate

public abstract void translate(ByteBuf in,
                               ByteBuf out)

Given a sequence of input bytes, produces a sequence of output bytes. Note that some (small) amount of buffering may be necessary, if the input byte stream didn't fall on an appropriate boundary. If there are bytes in `out' already, the new bytes are appended, so the caller should do `out.setLength(0)' first if that's desired.

eof

public abstract void eof(ByteBuf out)

Tell the decoder that no more input data will be forthcoming. This may result in output, as a result of flushing the internal buffer. This object must not be used again after calling eof(). If there are bytes in `out' already, the new bytes are appended, so the caller should do `out.setLength(0)' first if that's desired.
