Method Detail

### parseOctal

    public static long parseOctal(byte[] header,
                                  int offset,
                                  int length)

  Parse an octal string from a header buffer. This is used for the file permission mode value.

  Parameters:
    `header` - The header buffer from which to parse.
    `offset` - The offset into the buffer from which to parse.
    `length` - The number of header bytes to parse.
  Returns:
    The long value of the octal string.

### parseName

    public static java.lang.StringBuffer parseName(byte[] header,
                                                   int offset,
                                                   int length)

  Parse an entry name from a header buffer.

  Parameters:
    `header` - The header buffer from which to parse.
    `offset` - The offset into the buffer from which to parse.
    `length` - The number of header bytes to parse.
  Returns:
    The header's entry name.

### getNameBytes

    public static int getNameBytes(java.lang.StringBuffer name,
                                   byte[] buf,
                                   int offset,
                                   int length)

  Determine the number of bytes in an entry name.

  Parameters:
    `offset` - The offset into the buffer from which to parse.
    `length` - The number of header bytes to parse.
  Returns:
    The number of bytes in a header's entry name.

### getOctalBytes

    public static int getOctalBytes(long value,
                                    byte[] buf,
                                    int offset,
                                    int length)

  Parse an octal integer from a header buffer.

  Parameters:
    `offset` - The offset into the buffer from which to parse.
    `length` - The number of header bytes to parse.
  Returns:
    The integer value of the octal bytes.

### getLongOctalBytes

    public static int getLongOctalBytes(long value,
                                        byte[] buf,
                                        int offset,
                                        int length)

  Parse an octal long integer from a header buffer.

  Parameters:
    `offset` - The offset into the buffer from which to parse.
    `length` - The number of header bytes to parse.
  Returns:
    The long value of the octal bytes.

### getCheckSumOctalBytes

    public static int getCheckSumOctalBytes(long value,
                                            byte[] buf,
                                            int offset,
                                            int length)
