Manifest JDK 1.6)

Hide/Show inherited methods

public void clear ()

Clears the main Attributes as well as the entries in this Manifest.

public Object clone ()

Returns a shallow copy of this Manifest.

Returns a shallow copy of this Manifest. The shallow copy is
implemented as follows:


     public Object clone() { return new Manifest(this); }

Returns: a shallow copy of this Manifest

public boolean equals (Object o)

Returns true if the specified Object is also a Manifest and has the same main Attributes and entries.

public Attributes getAttributes (String name)

Returns the Attributes for the specified entry name.

Returns the Attributes for the specified entry name. This method is defined as:

            return (Attributes)getEntries().get(name)

Though null is a valid name, when getAttributes(null) is invoked on a Manifest obtained from a jar file, null will be returned. While jar files themselves do not allow null-named attributes, it is possible to invoke Manifest.getEntries() on a Manifest, and on that result, invoke put with a null key and an arbitrary value. Subsequent invocations of getAttributes(null) will return the just-put value.

Note that this method does not return the manifest's main attributes; see Manifest.getMainAttributes().
Returns: the Attributes for the specified entry name
Parameters:
- name - entry name

public Map<String, Attributes> getEntries ()

Returns a Map of the entries contained in this Manifest.

Returns a Map of the entries contained in this Manifest. Each entry
is represented by a String name (key) and associated Attributes (value).
The Map permits the null key, but no entry with a null key is
created by Manifest.read(java.io.InputStream), nor is such an entry written by using Manifest.write(java.io.OutputStream).
Returns: a Map of the entries contained in this Manifest

public Attributes getMainAttributes ()

Returns the main Attributes for the Manifest.

public int hashCode ()

Returns the hash code for this Manifest.

pack-privatestatic void make72Safe (StringBuffer line)

Adds line breaks to enforce a maximum 72 bytes per line.

public void read (InputStream is) throws IOException
