An implementation shall define the minimum buffer size to be substituted for undefined in the following value definition.
This class shall implement a fast mutable version of an octet string. Buffers shall be modifiable and shall be extended in an efficient manner.
The following feature is required to be implemented for this class in accordance with the specification given in $IS_EQ of which $FSTRING{OCTET,BINSTR,FBINSTR} is a sub-type :-
The following features are required to be implemented for this class in accordance with the specification given in $ELT of which $FSTRING{OCTET,BINSTR,FBINSTR} is a sub-type :-
The following feature is required to be implemented for this class in accordance with the specification given in $ELT{OCTET} of which $FSTRING{OCTET,BINSTR,FBINSTR} is a sub-type :-
The following feature is required to be implemented for this class in accordance with the specification given in $HASH of which $FSTRING{OCTET,BINSTR,FBINSTR} is a sub-type :-
The following features are required to be implemented for this class in accordance with the specifications given by inheritance in $STR :-
The following features are required to be implemented for this class in accordance with the specifications given in $BINARY of which $FSTRING{OCTET,BINSTR,FBINSTR} is a sub-type :-
The following features are required to be implemented for this class in accordance with the specifications given by inheritance in $FSTRINGS of which $FSTRING{OCTET,BINSTR,FBINSTR} is a sub-type :-
The following features are required to be implemented for this class in accordance with the specifications given by inheritance in $FSTRING{OCTET,BINSTR,FBINSTR} :-
This first creation routine returns an implementation-defined default buffer.
create | : SAME |
Since this feature is a creation routine, the pre-condition is vacuously true.
This creation routine returns a new buffer of an implementation-defined minimum size.
This feature creates a buffer of the given size (which must be greater than zero), but it is implementation defined whether the resulting buffer is at least Min_Size!
This creation routine returns a new buffer of the given size. It is implementation-defined whether this may be shorter than Min_Size.
This feature provides an implementation defined text string representation of the buffer contents using the given culture definition. Note that this is not necessarily the same as the str feature which produces a text string of characters the bit-pattern of which is identical to that in the buffer. It could, for example be some form of hexadecimal character string.
This routine returns an implementation-defined default textual representation of the contents of self using the given encoding and repertoire. An implementation is required to define the algorithm used for obtaining the string.
