    • writeVarInt

      public static void writeVarInt(OutputStream out, int value) throws IOException

      Write an variable length (non-negative) integer.

      The variable length integer encoding (also know as varint and vint) writes non-negative / unsigned integers in a minimal number of bytes (binary octets). The encoding uses the most significant bit is used to indicate whether another varint byte follows. The remaining 7 bits of every octet are used to store the binary representation of the actual integer value. Note that the least significant bytes of the integer value are stored before more significate bytes.

      The table below shows a few examples of decimals encoded both as a 32-bit integer and as variable length binary: 

       
 decimal |           32-bit integer            |          variable length binary
       0 | 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 |                   00000000   (1 byte)
       1 | 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000001 |                   00000001   (1 byte)
      42 | 00000000 00000000 00000000 00101010 |                   00101010   (1 byte)
     421 | 00000000 00000000 00000001 10100101 |          10100101 00000011   (2 bytes)
  100000 | 00000000 00000001 10000110 10100000 | 10100000 10001101 00000110   (3 bytes)

      Parameters:
      out - The OutputStream to write to.
      value - The int value to write.
      Throws:
      IOException - If an error occurred while writing the integer.
