Interface ILookahead

public interface ILookahead

Interface for use by CharsetConverter to query for more bytes to convert based on the last character decoded. This is most commonly used for line ending lookahead when \r\n needs to be converted to \n. The lookahead in that case would get the next x bytes where x is the number of bytes wide the \n character is when the \r character is specified as the last decoded character.

bytesToAdd

byte[] bytesToAdd(char lastDecodedChar)

Get an array of bytes to add based on the last decoded character found. The array of bytes returned represent "looking ahead" to see if more characters should be converted.

Parameters:

lastDecodedChar -

Returns:

- array of bytes or null if lookahead is not needed
