Method Documentation

◆ appendBytes:size:()

- (BOOL) appendBytes:	(const void *)	bytes
size:	(size_t)	size

Appends raw bytes to the data.

Parameters

bytes	The bytes to append.
size	The number of bytes to append.

Returns: YES if successful, NO otherwise.

◆ appendData:()

- (BOOL) appendData: (NXData *) data

Appends another NXData instance to this data, by copying its contents.

Parameters

data	The data to append.

Returns: YES if successful, NO otherwise.

◆ appendString:()

- (BOOL) appendString: (id< NXConstantStringProtocol >) aString

Appends a string to the data.

Parameters

aString The string to append.

Returns: YES if successful, NO otherwise.

◆ bytes()

- (const void *) bytes

Returns a pointer to the raw data bytes.

Returns: A pointer to the raw data bytes, or NULL if the data is empty.

◆ dataWithBytes:size:()

+ (NXData *) dataWithBytes:	(const void *)	bytes
size:	(size_t)	size

Returns a new NXData instance with a copy of bytes.

Parameters

bytes	The bytes to copy.
size	The number of bytes to copy.

Returns: A new NXData instance containing a copy of the specified bytes.

This method allocates a new NXData instance and copies the contents of the specified bytes into it.

◆ dataWithCapacity:()

+ (NXData *) dataWithCapacity: (size_t) capacity

Returns a new NXData instance with the specified capacity.

Parameters

capacity The initial capacity of the data, in bytes.

Returns: A new NXData instance with the specified capacity.

This method allocates a new NXData instance with the specified capacity.

+ (NXData *) dataWithString: (id< NXConstantStringProtocol >) aString

Returns a new NXData instance with a copy of the specified string.

Parameters

aString The string to copy.

Returns: A new NXData instance containing a copy of the specified string.

This method allocates a new NXData instance and copies the contents of the specified string into it.

◆ hashWithAlgorithm:()

- (NXData *) hashWithAlgorithm: (NXHashAlgorithm) algorithm

Creates a new NXData instance with a hash of the data.

Parameters

algorithm The hash algorithm to use.

Returns: A new NXData instance containing the hash of the data.

◆ initWithBytes:size:()

- (id) initWithBytes:	(const void *)	bytes
size:	(size_t)	size

Initializes a new NXData instance with a copy of bytes.

Parameters

bytes	The bytes to copy.
size	The number of bytes to copy.

Returns: A new NXData instance containing a copy of the specified bytes.

◆ initWithCapacity:()

- (id) initWithCapacity: (size_t) capacity

Initializes a new NXData instance with the specified capacity.

Parameters

capacity The initial capacity of the data, in bytes.

Returns: A new NXData instance with the specified capacity.

◆ initWithString:()

- (id) initWithString: (id< NXConstantStringProtocol >) aString

Initializes a new NXData instance with a copy of the specified string.

Parameters

aString The string to copy.

Returns: A new NXData instance containing a copy of the specified string.
