Unsigned.java

package com.ronsoft.books.nio.buffers;

import java.nio.ByteBuffer;

/**
 * Utility class to get and put unsigned values to a ByteBuffer object.
 * All methods here are static and take a ByteBuffer object argument.
 * Since java does not provide unsigned primitive types, each unsigned
 * value read from the buffer is promoted up to the next bigger primitive
 * data type.  getUnsignedByte() returns a short, getUnsignedShort() returns
 * an int and getUnsignedInt() returns a long.  There is no getUnsignedLong()
 * since there is no primitive type to hold the value returned.  If needed,
 * methods returning BigInteger could be implemented.
 * Likewise, the put methods take a value larger than the type they will
 * be assigning.  putUnsignedByte takes a short argument, etc.
