Methods:
-
public abstract ConverterResult convert (uint8[] inbuf, uint8[] outbuf, ConverterFlags flags, out size_t bytes_read, out size_t bytes_written) throws Error
This is the main operation used when converting data. It is to be called multiple times in a loop, and
each time it will do some work, i.e. producing some output (in outbuf) or consuming some input (from inbuf
) or both. If its not possible to do any work an error is returned.
-
public abstract void reset ()
Resets all internal state in the converter, making it behave as if it was just created. If the
converter has any internal state that would produce output then that output is lost.
