			<P>The <A HREF="../../src/lib/rrdFile.js">rrdFile Javascript

</TABLE>
<H2 CLASS="heading-2-western">Overview</H2>
<P>The main class in this module is <A HREF="#RRDFile">RRDFile</A>.
It interprets the given the binary file object and provides methods
to decode the <A HREF="http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/">RRD</A>
information.</P>
<H2 CLASS="heading-2-western"><A NAME="RRDFile"></A>Class RRDFile</H2>
<P>This is the main class of the package. It is also the only class
the user ever needs to explicitly instantiate.</P>
<P>The RRDFile constructor has a single argument:</P>
<UL>
	<LI><P>A binary file object.</P>
	<P>Any object implementing an interface providing the following
	methods can be used:</P>
	<UL>
		<LI><P>getByteAt(idx) - Return a 8 bit unsigned integer at offset
		idx.</P>
		<LI><P>getLongAt(idx) - Return a 32 bit unsigned integer at offset
		idx.</P>
		<LI><P>getDoubleAt(idx) - Return a double float at offset idx.</P>
		<LI><P>getFastDoubleAt(idx) - Similar to getDoubleAt but with less
		precision.</P>
		<LI><P>getCStringAt(idx,maxsize) - Return a string of at most
		maxsize characters that was 0-terminated in the source.</P>
	</UL>
	<P>The <A HREF="binaryXHR_js.html">binaryXHR module</A>, provided
	with this package, provides the class <A HREF="binaryXHR_js.html#BinaryFile">BinaryFile</A>
	that implements this interface.</P>
</UL>
<P>If the binary file is not a proper <A HREF="http://oss.oetiker.ch/rrdtool/">RRD
file</A>, an <A HREF="#InvalidRRD">InvalidRRD</A> exception will be
thrown.</P>
<P>This class also implements the following methods:</P>
