## org.apache.poi.hslf.record
Class Record

    java.lang.Object
      org.apache.poi.hslf.record.Record

Direct Known Subclasses:
  RecordAtom, RecordContainer

    public abstract class Record

extends java.lang.Object

This abstract class represents a record in the PowerPoint document. Record classes should extend with RecordContainer or RecordAtom, which extend this in turn.

Field Summary
`protected static POILogger` | `logger`

Constructor Summary
`Record()`

Method Summary
`static Record` | `buildRecordAtOffset(byte[] b, int offset)` Build and return the Record at the given offset.
`static Record` | `createRecordForType(long type, byte[] b, int start, int len)` For a given type (little endian bytes 3 and 4 in record header), byte array, start position and length: will return a Record object that will handle that record Remember that while PPT stores the record lengths as 8 bytes short (not including the size of the header), this code assumes you're passing in corrected lengths
`static Record[]` | `findChildRecords(byte[] b, int start, int len)` Default method for finding child records of a container record
`abstract Record[]` | `getChildRecords()` Fetch all the child records of this record If this record is an atom, will return null If this record is a non-atom, but has no children, will return an empty array
`abstract long` | `getRecordType()` Returns the type (held as a little endian in bytes 3 and 4) that this class handles
`abstract boolean` | `isAnAtom()` Is this record type an Atom record (only has data), or is it a non-Atom record (has other records)?
`static void` | `writeLittleEndian(int i, java.io.OutputStream o)` When writing out, write out a signed int (32bit) in Little Endian format
`static void` | `writeLittleEndian(short s, java.io.OutputStream o)` When writing out, write out a signed short (16bit) in Little Endian format
`abstract void` | `writeOut(java.io.OutputStream o)` Have the contents printer out into an OutputStream, used when writing a file back out to disk (Normally, atom classes will keep their bytes around, but non atom classes will just request the bytes from their children, then chuck on their header and return)

Field Detail

### logger

    protected static final POILogger logger

Constructor Detail

### Record

    public Record()

Method Detail

### isAnAtom

    public abstract boolean isAnAtom()

  Is this record type an Atom record (only has data), or is it a non-Atom record (has other records)?

### getRecordType

    public abstract long getRecordType()

  Returns the type (held as a little endian in bytes 3 and 4) that this class handles

### getChildRecords

    public abstract Record[] getChildRecords()

  Fetch all the child records of this record If this record is an atom, will return null If this record is a non-atom, but has no children, will return an empty array

### writeOut

    public abstract void writeOut(java.io.OutputStream o)
                           throws java.io.IOException

  Have the contents printer out into an OutputStream, used when writing a file back out to disk (Normally, atom classes will keep their bytes around, but non atom classes will just request the bytes from their children, then chuck on their header and return)

  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### writeLittleEndian

    public static void writeLittleEndian(int i,
                                         java.io.OutputStream o)
                                  throws java.io.IOException

  When writing out, write out a signed int (32bit) in Little Endian format

  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### writeLittleEndian

    public static void writeLittleEndian(short s,
                                         java.io.OutputStream o)
                                  throws java.io.IOException

  When writing out, write out a signed short (16bit) in Little Endian format

  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### buildRecordAtOffset

    public static Record buildRecordAtOffset(byte[] b,
                                             int offset)

  Build and return the Record at the given offset. Note - does less error checking and handling than findChildRecords

  Parameters:
    `b` - The byte array to build from
    `offset` - The offset to build at

### findChildRecords

    public static Record[] findChildRecords(byte[] b,
                                            int start,
                                            int len)

  Default method for finding child records of a container record

### createRecordForType

    public static Record createRecordForType(long type,
                                             byte[] b,
                                             int start,
                                             int len)

  For a given type (little endian bytes 3 and 4 in record header), byte array, start position and length: will return a Record object that will handle that record Remember that while PPT stores the record lengths as 8 bytes short (not including the size of the header), this code assumes you're passing in corrected lengths
