  • All Implemented Interfaces:
    java.io.Serializable, java.lang.Cloneable
    public class OtpErlangBinary
extends OtpErlangBitstr
    Provides a Java representation of Erlang binaries. Anything that can be represented as a sequence of bytes can be made into an Erlang binary.

                throws OtpErlangDecodeException
        Create a binary from a stream containing a binary encoded in Erlang external format.
        Parameters:
        buf - the stream containing the encoded binary.
        Throws:
