public interface LDIFRecord
extends java.io.Serializable

This interface defines a common API for LDIF records, which are objects that can be represented using LDIF. This includes both Entry and LDIFChangeRecord objects. It is possible to obtain the DN of an LDIF record, as well as to obtain the LDIF representation of that object. They can be read using the LDIFReader.readLDIFRecord() method and written using the LDIFWriter.writeLDIFRecord(com.unboundid.ldif.LDIFRecord) method.

This interface defines a data type that is intended to be implemented only by classes within the LDAP SDK. Third-party code may reference objects using this data type, but external classes should not create additional implementations of this interface.

Method Detail

getDN

@NotNull
java.lang.String getDN()

Retrieves the string representation of the DN for this LDIF record.

Returns:

The string representation of the DN for this LDIF record.

getParsedDN

@NotNull
DN getParsedDN()
                 throws LDAPException

Retrieves the parsed DN for this LDIF record as a DN object.

Returns:

The parsed DN for this LDIF record as a DN object.

Throws:

LDAPException - If a problem occurs while trying to parse the DN.

toLDIF

@NotNull
java.lang.String[] toLDIF()

Retrieves an LDIF representation of this LDIF record, with each line of the LDIF representation in a separate element of the returned array. Long lines will not be wrapped.

Returns:

An LDIF representation of this LDIF record.

toLDIF

@NotNull
java.lang.String[] toLDIF(int wrapColumn)

Retrieves an LDIF representation of this LDIF record, with each line of the LDIF representation in a separate element of the returned array.

Parameters:

wrapColumn - The column at which to wrap long lines. A value that is less than or equal to two indicates that no wrapping should be performed.

Returns:

An LDIF representation of this LDIF record.

toLDIF

void toLDIF(@NotNull
            ByteStringBuffer buffer)

Appends an LDIF-formatted string representation of this LDIF record to the provided buffer. No wrapping will be performed, and no extra blank lines will be added.

Parameters:

buffer - The buffer to which to append the LDIF representation of this LDIF record.

toLDIF

void toLDIF(@NotNull
            ByteStringBuffer buffer,
            int wrapColumn)

Appends an LDIF-formatted string representation of this LDIF record to the provided buffer. No extra blank lines will be added.

Parameters:

buffer - The buffer to which to append the LDIF representation of this LDIF record.

wrapColumn - The column at which to wrap long lines. A value that is less than or equal to two indicates that no wrapping should be performed.

toLDIFString

@NotNull
java.lang.String toLDIFString()

Retrieves an LDIF-formatted string representation of this LDIF record. No wrapping will be performed, and no extra blank lines will be added.

Returns:

An LDIF-formatted string representation of this entry.

toLDIFString

@NotNull
java.lang.String toLDIFString(int wrapColumn)

Retrieves an LDIF-formatted string representation of this LDIF record. No extra blank lines will be added.

Parameters:

wrapColumn - The column at which to wrap long lines. A value that is less than or equal to two indicates that no wrapping should be performed.

Returns:

An LDIF-formatted string representation of this entry.

toLDIFString

void toLDIFString(@NotNull
                  java.lang.StringBuilder buffer)

Appends an LDIF-formatted string representation of this LDIF record to the provided buffer. No wrapping will be performed, and no extra blank lines will be added.

Parameters:

buffer - The buffer to which to append the LDIF representation of this LDIF record.

toLDIFString

void toLDIFString(@NotNull
                  java.lang.StringBuilder buffer,
                  int wrapColumn)

Appends an LDIF-formatted string representation of this LDIF record to the provided buffer. No extra blank lines will be added.

Parameters:

buffer - The buffer to which to append the LDIF representation of this LDIF record.

wrapColumn - The column at which to wrap long lines. A value that is less than or equal to two indicates that no wrapping should be performed.

toString

@NotNull
java.lang.String toString()

Retrieves a string representation of this LDIF record. Note that it will be a single-line string representation and will therefore not be an LDIF representation.

Overrides:

toString in class java.lang.Object

Returns:

A string representation of this LDIF record.

toString

void toString(@NotNull
              java.lang.StringBuilder buffer)

Appends a string representation of this LDIF record to the provided buffer. Note that it will be a single-line string representation and will therefore not be an LDIF representation.

Parameters:

buffer - The buffer to which the string representation of this LDIF record should be appended.
