Class BufferPointer

java.lang.Object
nom.tam.util.BufferPointer
@Deprecated public class BufferPointer extends Object
Deprecated.
(for internal use) It is a rusty-rail compatibility implementation only, unsafe for general use. No longer used within the FITS package itself. If you do attempt to use it with the deprecated APIs, beware that no data will be filled into the buffer of this object ever by the library, although its length and position fields may be updated to pretend as if the buffer were always hall full / half available...
