Enum Constant Summary

Enum Constants

Enum Constant and Description
EVOLVING The interface might eventually become Standard or Stable but is still in transition.
EXTERNAL The interface is controlled by an entity other than Sun.
INTERNAL The interface is private to DTrace and represents an implementation detail of DTrace.
OBSOLETE The interface is supported in the current release but is scheduled to be removed, most likely in a future minor release.
PRIVATE The interface is private to Sun for use by other Sun products.
STABLE The interface is a mature interface under Sun's control.
STANDARD The interface complies with an industry standard.
UNSTABLE The interface gives developers early access to new or rapidly changing technology or to an implementation artifact that is essential for observing or debugging system behavior.

Enum Constant Detail

INTERNAL

public static final StabilityLevel INTERNAL

The interface is private to DTrace and represents an implementation detail of DTrace.

PRIVATE

public static final StabilityLevel PRIVATE

The interface is private to Sun for use by other Sun products. It is not yet publicly documented for use by customers and ISVs.

OBSOLETE

public static final StabilityLevel OBSOLETE

The interface is supported in the current release but is scheduled to be removed, most likely in a future minor release.

EXTERNAL

public static final StabilityLevel EXTERNAL

The interface is controlled by an entity other than Sun.

UNSTABLE

public static final StabilityLevel UNSTABLE

The interface gives developers early access to new or rapidly changing technology or to an implementation artifact that is essential for observing or debugging system behavior. A more stable solution is anticipated in the future.

EVOLVING

public static final StabilityLevel EVOLVING

The interface might eventually become Standard or Stable but is still in transition.

STABLE

public static final StabilityLevel STABLE

The interface is a mature interface under Sun's control.

STANDARD

public static final StabilityLevel STANDARD

The interface complies with an industry standard.

Method Detail

values

public static StabilityLevel[] values()

Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

for (StabilityLevel c : StabilityLevel.values())
    System.out.println(c);

Returns:

an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

valueOf

public static StabilityLevel valueOf(String name)

Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)

Parameters:

name - the name of the enum constant to be returned.

Returns:

the enum constant with the specified name

Throws:

IllegalArgumentException - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name

NullPointerException - if the argument is null

getEncoding

public int getEncoding()
