The methods of the Tut class are listed below. For a complete list of Tut class members, see the Tut Members topic.
Public Static Methods
  affirm | Overloaded. Tests a condition for truth, throws a TipcAssertionException if the test fails, using an explanatory message. |
| assert | Overloaded. Tests a condition for truth, throws a TipcAssertionException if the test fails, using an explanatory message. |
| convertUcs2ToUtf8 | Converts a Unicode string to a null-terminated, UTF-8 encoded, array of bytes. Note that this encoding is not the same as the default writeUTF and readUTF encoding, which is a length, data encoding. Our encoding is fully compatible with standard C ASCII strings so long as only ASCII is used. The default encoding is not only incompatible with this, but requires knowledge of the endian to swap the two-byte length. |
| convertUcs2ToUtf8Ex | Converts a Unicode string to a null-terminated, UTF-8 encoded, array of bytes. Note that this encoding is not the same as the default writeUTF and readUTF encoding, which is a length, data encoding. Our encoding is fully compatible with standard C ASCII strings so long as only ASCII is used. The default encoding is not only incompatible with this, but requires knowledge of the endian to swap the two-byte length. This method returns an instance of a TipcUtf8Buffer class which increases the performance. Instead of copying a the buffer, an instance of the TipcUtf8Buffer class is returned, which contains the buffer and the offset and length of the UTF8 data. |
| createGuid | Creates a guid. |
| createOption | Creates a new global option. |
| cvtTimeout | Converts SmartSockets second-based double timeouts to millisecond long timeouts. |
| exitFailure | Exits with a message and a non-zero exit code. |
| exitSuccess | Exits with a zero exit code. Convenience function to match exitFailure. |
| expect | Test a condition for truth, prints a warning message if the it fails. Will optionally throw a TipcAssertionException as well if the ExpectAborts property is set. |
| fatal | Prints a stack trace to the "standard" output stream, the text of the exception as a fatal error message, and exits with a non-zero exit code. |
| fromHexString | Convert a String containing hex numbers into a byte array
containing those binary values.
|
| getOption | Get a TipcOption.
|
| getOptionBool | Convenience method to get a boolean value from an option by name. |
| getOptionDouble | Convenience method to get a double value from an option by name. |
| getOptionInt | Convenience method to get an integer value from an option by name. |
| getOptionStr | Convenience method to get a string value from a TipcOption
by name.
|
| getOut | Gets the SmartSockets "standard" output stream. |
| guidToStr | Converts a binary GUID into a printable String. |
| loadOptions | Overloaded. Loads options from the application configuration file. Loaded options override existing options with the same key. Note: If the options cannot be loaded, a warning is issued to the "Standard" output. |
| loadOptionsStream | Loads options from an InputStream.
Loaded options override existing options with the same key.
Note: If the stream cannot be loaded, a warning is issued
to the "Standard" output.
|
| msgIdToStr | Converts a binary message ID into a printable String. |
| Out | Prints a message to the SmartSockets "standard" output stream. |
| removeOption | Overloaded. Removes a global option. |
| setOption | Convenience method to set an option by name. |
| setOut | Reassigns the SmartSockets "standard" output stream. Reassigning to null suppresses SmartSockets from printing to the output stream. The default is System.out. |
| sleep | Sleeps for a period of time. This is a replacement for Thread.sleep(), which avoids a known problem with priorities and network connections, that makes Thread.sleep() hang a process forever. This method also follows the SmartSockets convention of using a double time in seconds, rather than a long in milliseconds. |
| strToGuid | Converts a String formatted like the output of guidToStr and converts it to a binary GUID. |
| strToMsgId | Converts a String formatted like the output of msgIdToStr and converts it to a binary message ID. |
| swapEight | Swaps eight bytes in place. |
| swapFour | Swaps four bytes in place. |
| swapTwo | Swaps two bytes in place. |
| toHexString | Returns a String containing the argument as two hex digits,
using a leading zero, if necessary. Also doesn't do sign
extension, as the JDK Integer method does.
|
| warning | Overloaded. Prints a warning message to the "standard" output stream. |
Public Instance Methods
| Equals (inherited from Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. |
| GetHashCode (inherited from Object) | Serves as a hash function for a particular type. GetHashCode is suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table. |
| GetType (inherited from Object) | Gets the Type of the current instance. |
| ToString (inherited from Object) | Returns a String that represents the current Object. |
Protected Instance Methods
 Finalize (inherited from Object) | Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. |
| MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object) | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. |
