Field Detail

### _module

    protected ModuleBase _module

### bytesLeft

    protected long bytesLeft

### _dstream

    protected java.io.DataInputStream _dstream

Constructor Detail

### Chunk

    public Chunk(ModuleBase module,
                 ChunkHeader hdr,
                 java.io.DataInputStream dstrm)

  Constructor.

  Parameters:
    `module` - The Module under which this was called
    `hdr` - The header for this chunk
    `dstrm` - The stream from which the data are being read

Method Detail

### readChunk

    public abstract boolean readChunk(RepInfo info)
                               throws java.io.IOException,
                                      JhoveException

  Reads a chunk and puts appropriate information into the RepInfo object.

  Parameters:
    `info` - RepInfo object to receive information
  Returns:
    `false` if the chunk is structurally invalid, otherwise `true`
  Throws:
    `JhoveException`
    `java.io.IOException`

### byteBufString

    protected java.lang.String byteBufString(byte[] b)

  Convert a byte buffer cleanly to an ASCII string. This is used for fixed-allocation strings in Broadcast WAVE chunks, and might have uses elsewhere. If a string is shorter than its fixed allocation, we're guaranteed only that there is a null terminating the string, and noise could follow it. So we can't use the byte buffer constructor for a string.
