Method Detail

writeBitStringToStream

public static void writeBitStringToStream(java.lang.String binaryString,
                                          java.io.OutputStream out)

Given a string of 0's and 1's, writes each character as a bit to output stream.

Parameters:

binaryString - a string representing a sequence of bits

out - output stream to which bits are written

bitsToCharString

public static java.lang.String bitsToCharString(java.io.InputStream inputStream)
                                         throws java.io.IOException

Reads each word-size chunk from input stream and returns a String representation

Parameters:

inputStream -

Returns:

contents of input stream as a String

Throws:

java.io.IOException

bitsToBitString

public static java.lang.String bitsToBitString(java.io.InputStream inputStream)
                                        throws java.io.IOException

Reads each bit from input stream and returns a String representation of the bits

Parameters:

inputStream -

Returns:

contents of input stream as a String of binary (0's and 1's)

Throws:

java.io.IOException

main
