public static DBFDataType[] 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 (DBFDataType c : DBFDataType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

    an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared
  - valueOf
```
public static DBFDataType 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:

    Returns:
    
    the code for this type
  - getMinSize
```
public int getMinSize()
```
    Gets the minimum size for this type
    
    Returns:
    
    minimum size for this type
  - getMaxSize
```
