Method Detail

addData

public void addData(byte[] buffer,
                    int offset,
                    int length)

isMostlyAscii

public boolean isMostlyAscii()

Checks whether at least one byte was seen and that the bytes that were seen were mostly plain text (i.e. < 2% control, > 90% ASCII range).

Returns:

true if the seen bytes were mostly safe ASCII, false otherwise

TIKA-483, TIKA-688

looksLikeUTF8

public boolean looksLikeUTF8()

Checks whether the observed byte stream looks like UTF-8 encoded text.

Returns:

true if the seen bytes look like UTF-8, false otherwise

Since:

Apache Tika 1.3

count

public int count()

Returns the total number of bytes seen so far.

Returns:

count of all bytes

count

public int count(int b)

Returns the number of occurrences of the given byte.

Parameters:

b - byte

Returns:

count of the given byte

countControl

public int countControl()

Counts control characters (i.e. < 0x20, excluding tab, CR, LF, page feed and escape).

This definition of control characters is based on section 4 of the "Content-Type Processing Model" Internet-draft (draft-abarth-mime-sniff-01).

 +-------------------------+
 | Binary data byte ranges |
 +-------------------------+
 | 0x00 -- 0x08            |
 | 0x0B                    |
 | 0x0E -- 0x1A            |
 | 0x1C -- 0x1F            |
 +-------------------------+
 

Returns:

count of control characters

TIKA-154

countSafeAscii

public int countSafeAscii()

Counts "safe" (i.e. seven-bit non-control) ASCII characters.

Returns:

count of safe ASCII characters

See Also:

countControl()

countEightBit

public int countEightBit()

Counts eight bit characters, i.e. bytes with their highest bit set.

Returns:

count of eight bit characters
