## org.mozilla.jss.asn1
Class BIT_STRING

    java.lang.Object
      |
      +--org.mozilla.jss.asn1.BIT_STRING

public class BIT_STRING
extends java.lang.Object
implements ASN1Value

An ASN.1 `BIT STRING`, which is an ordered sequence of bits. The bits are stored the same way they are encoded in BER: as an array of bytes with 0-7 unused bits at the end.

Inner Class Summary
`static class` | `BIT_STRING.Template` A class for decoding a `BIT_STRING` from its BER encoding.

Field Summary
`private byte[]` | `bits`
`static Form` | `FORM`
`private int` | `padCount`
`static Tag` | `TAG`
`private static BIT_STRING.Template` | `templateInstance`

Constructor Summary
`private` | `BIT_STRING()`
`` | `BIT_STRING(java.util.BitSet bs, int numBits)` Constructs a BIT_STRING from a BitSet.
`` | `BIT_STRING(byte[] bits, int padCount)`

Method Summary
`void` | `encode(java.io.OutputStream ostream)`
`void` | `encode(Tag implicitTag, java.io.OutputStream ostream)`
`byte[]` | `getBits()` Returns the bits packed into an array of bytes, with padding at the end.
`int` | `getPadCount()` Returns the number of padding bits at the end of the array.
`Tag` | `getTag()`
`static BIT_STRING.Template` | `getTemplate()`
`java.util.BitSet` | `toBitSet()` Copies this BIT STRING into a Java BitSet.
`boolean[]` | `toBooleanArray()` Copies this BIT STRING into a boolean array.

Field Detail

### bits

    private byte[] bits

### padCount

    private int padCount

### TAG

    public static final Tag TAG

### FORM

    public static final Form FORM

### templateInstance

    private static final BIT_STRING.Template templateInstance

Constructor Detail

### BIT_STRING

    private BIT_STRING()

### BIT_STRING

    public BIT_STRING(byte[] bits,
                      int padCount)
               throws java.lang.NumberFormatException

  Parameters:
    `bits` - The bits packed into an array of bytes, with padding at the end. The array may be empty (but not null), in which case `padCount` must be zero. The array is referenced, not cloned.
    `padCount` - The number of padding bits at the end of the array. Must be in the range `[0,7]`.
  Throws:
    java.lang.NumberFormatException - If `padCount` is not in the range `[0,7]`, or `bits` is empty and `padCount` is non-zero.

### BIT_STRING

    public BIT_STRING(java.util.BitSet bs,
                      int numBits)
               throws java.lang.NumberFormatException

  Constructs a BIT_STRING from a BitSet.
  Parameters:
    `bs` - A BitSet.
    `numBits` - The number of bits to copy from the BitSet. This is necessary because the size of a BitSet is always padded up to a multiple of 64, but not all of these bits may be significant.
  Throws:
    java.lang.NumberFormatException - If `numBits` is larger than `bs.size()` or less than zero.

Method Detail

### getBits

    public byte[] getBits()

  Returns the bits packed into an array of bytes, with padding at the end. The array may be empty (but not null), in which case `padCount` must be zero. The array is referenced, not cloned.

### toBitSet

    public java.util.BitSet toBitSet()

  Copies this BIT STRING into a Java BitSet. Note that BitSet.size() will not accurately reflect the number of bits in the BIT STRING, because the size of a BitSet is always rounded up to the next multiple of 64. The extra bits will be set to 0.

### toBooleanArray

    public boolean[] toBooleanArray()

  Copies this BIT STRING into a boolean array. Each element of the array represents one bit with `true` for 1 and `false` for 0.

### getPadCount

    public int getPadCount()

  Returns the number of padding bits at the end of the array. Must be in the range `[0,7]`.

### getTag

    public Tag getTag()

  Specified by:
    getTag in interface ASN1Value

### encode

    public void encode(java.io.OutputStream ostream)
                throws java.io.IOException

  Specified by:
    encode in interface ASN1Value

### encode

    public void encode(Tag implicitTag,
                       java.io.OutputStream ostream)
                throws java.io.IOException

  Specified by:
    encode in interface ASN1Value

### getTemplate

    public static BIT_STRING.Template getTemplate()
