ByteOrderMark

public ByteOrderMark(String charsetName,
                     int... bytes)

Constructs a new BOM.

Parameters:

charsetName - The name of the charset the BOM represents

bytes - The BOM's bytes

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if the charsetName is null or zero length

IllegalArgumentException - if the bytes are null or zero length

Returns:

the length of the BOM's bytes

get

public int get(int pos)

Gets the byte at the specified position.

Parameters:

pos - The position

Returns:

The specified byte

getBytes

public byte[] getBytes()

Returns:

a copy of the BOM's bytes

equals

public boolean equals(Object obj)

Indicates if this BOM's bytes equals another.

Overrides:

equals in class Object

Parameters:

obj - The object to compare to

Returns:

true if the bom's bytes are equal, otherwise false

hashCode

public int hashCode()
