Functional Interface:

This is a functional interface and can therefore be used as the assignment target for a lambda expression or method reference.

@FunctionalInterface
public interface ByteDestination

The ByteDestination is used to receive bytes in a unified way. The receiveByte() method provides the next available byte from the counterpart DatagramTransmitter; in case there is none available, then this method halts until one is available.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method	Description
byte	receiveByte()	Reads (receives) the next byte, in case none byte is available, then this method blocks until one is available.

Method Details

receiveByte

byte receiveByte()
          throws IOException

Reads (receives) the next byte, in case none byte is available, then this method blocks until one is available.

Returns:

The next byte available .

Throws:

IOException - Thrown in case opening or accessing an open line (connection, junction, link) caused problems.

EOFException - Signals that an end of file or end of stream has been reached unexpectedly during input.
