Oracle® Fusion Middleware .NET API Reference for Oracle Coherence
12c (12.2.1.4.0)
E90869-02
Reads an Int64 value using a variable-length storage format.

Namespace: Tangosol.IO
Assembly: Coherence (in Coherence.dll) Version: 12.2.1.4014 (12.2.1.4014)

Syntax

C#
public virtual long ReadPackedInt64()

Return Value

An Int64 value.

Remarks

The "packed" format includes a sign bit (0x40) and a continuation bit (0x80) in the first byte, followed by the least 6 significant bits of the int value. Subsequent bytes (each appearing only if the previous byte had its continuation bit set) include a continuation bit (0x80) and the next least 7 significant bits of the int value. In this way, a 64-bit value is encoded into 1-10 bytes, depending on the magnitude of the value being encoded.

Exceptions

ExceptionCondition
System.IO..::..IOException If an I/O error occurs.
