type - the OS type as an int value

Returns:

a 4-byte String

toOSType

public static int toOSType(java.lang.String s)

toOSType

public static int toOSType(char a,
                           char b,
                           char c,
                           char d)

Converts four char values to an int value representing the OS type. If this method cannot use the "MacRoman" character encoding, it uses the system's default character encoding instead.

Parameters:

a - the char value containing the most significant byte

b - the char value containing the second most significant byte

c - the char value containing the least but one significant byte

d - the char value containing the least significant byte

Returns:

an int containing the OS type
