Package com.sleepycat.bind.tuple

## Class LongBinding

- java.lang.Object
- - com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleBase<E>
  - - com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.TupleBinding<java.lang.Long>
    - - com.sleepycat.bind.tuple.LongBinding

- All Implemented Interfaces:
    `EntryBinding<java.lang.Long>`

      public class LongBinding
      extends TupleBinding<java.lang.Long>

  A concrete `TupleBinding` for a `Long` primitive wrapper or a `long` primitive.

  There are two ways to use this class:

  1. When using the `com.sleepycat.db` package directly, the static methods in this class can be used to convert between primitive values and `DatabaseEntry` objects.
  2. When using the `com.sleepycat.collections` package, an instance of this class can be used with any stored collection. The easiest way to obtain a binding instance is with the `TupleBinding.getPrimitiveBinding(java.lang.Class<T>)` method.

    - #### entryToObject

          public java.lang.Long entryToObject​(TupleInput input)

      Description copied from class: `TupleBinding`
      Constructs a key or data object from a `TupleInput` entry.
      Specified by:
        `entryToObject` in class `TupleBinding<java.lang.Long>`
      Parameters:
        `input` - is the tuple key or data entry.
      Returns:
        the key or data object constructed from the entry.

    - #### objectToEntry

          public void objectToEntry​(java.lang.Long object,
                                    TupleOutput output)

      Description copied from class: `TupleBinding`
      Converts a key or data object to a tuple entry.
      Specified by:
        `objectToEntry` in class `TupleBinding<java.lang.Long>`
      Parameters:
        `object` - is the key or data object.
        `output` - is the tuple entry to which the key or data should be written.

    - #### getTupleOutput

          protected TupleOutput getTupleOutput​(java.lang.Long object)

      Description copied from class: `TupleBase`
      Returns an empty TupleOutput instance that will be used by the tuple binding or key creator.

      The default implementation of this method creates a new TupleOutput with an initial buffer size that can be changed using the `TupleBase.setTupleBufferSize(int)` method.

      This method may be overridden to return a TupleOutput instance. For example, an instance per thread could be created and returned by this method. If a TupleOutput instance is reused, be sure to call its `FastOutputStream.reset()` method before each use.

      Overrides:
        `getTupleOutput` in class `TupleBase<java.lang.Long>`
      Parameters:
        `object` - is the object to be written to the tuple output, and may be used by subclasses to determine the size of the output buffer.
      Returns:
        an empty TupleOutput instance.
      See Also:
        `TupleBase.setTupleBufferSize(int)`

    - #### entryToLong

          public static long entryToLong​(DatabaseEntry entry)

      Converts an entry buffer into a simple `long` value.
      Parameters:
        `entry` - is the source entry buffer.
      Returns:
        the resulting value.

    - #### longToEntry

          public static void longToEntry​(long val,
                                         DatabaseEntry entry)

      Converts a simple `long` value into an entry buffer.
      Parameters:
        `val` - is the source value.
        `entry` - is the destination entry buffer.
