Class BlockAllocationTableReader

java.lang.Object

org.zkoss.poi.poifs.storage.BlockAllocationTableReader

public final class BlockAllocationTableReader
extends Object

This class manages and creates the Block Allocation Table, which is basically a set of linked lists of block indices.

Each block of the filesystem has an index. The first block, the header, is skipped; the first block after the header is index 0, the next is index 1, and so on.

A block's index is also its index into the Block Allocation Table. The entry that it finds in the Block Allocation Table is the index of the next block in the linked list of blocks making up a file, or it is set to -2: end of list.

BlockAllocationTableReader

public BlockAllocationTableReader(POIFSBigBlockSize bigBlockSize,
                                  int block_count,
                                  int[] block_array,
                                  int xbat_count,

                                  BlockList raw_block_list)
                           throws IOException

create a BlockAllocationTableReader for an existing filesystem. Side effect: when this method finishes, the BAT blocks will have been removed from the raw block list, and any blocks labeled as 'unused' in the block allocation table will also have been removed from the raw block list.

Parameters:

block_count - the number of BAT blocks making up the block allocation table

block_array - the array of BAT block indices from the filesystem's header

xbat_count - the number of XBAT blocks

xbat_index - the index of the first XBAT block

raw_block_list - the list of RawDataBlocks

Throws:

IOException - if, in trying to create the table, we encounter logic errors
