All Implemented Interfaces:

Serializable, Comparable<SignatureType>

public enum SignatureType
extends Enum<SignatureType>

This class defines enumerated types for a Signature in a module. Applications will not create or modify SignatureTypes, but will use one of the predefined SignatureType instances EXTENSION, FILETYPE, or MAGIC.

Enum Constant Detail

EXTENSION

public static final SignatureType EXTENSION

Signature type for a file extension, i.e., a sequence of characters following a period character in a file name.

FILETYPE

public static final SignatureType FILETYPE

Signature type for a Macintosh OS file type. This applies only to Mac OS files, and is always a four-character code.

MAGIC

public static final SignatureType MAGIC

Signature type for a "magic number" stored in the file.

Field Detail

name

public final String name

A String name for the type, used for reporting.

Method Detail

values

public static SignatureType[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (SignatureType c : SignatureType.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static SignatureType valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

toString

public String toString()

Overrides:

toString in class Enum<SignatureType>
