BitSource

java.lang.Object
- com.google.zxing.common.BitSource

```
public final class BitSource
extends java.lang.Object
```
This provides an easy abstraction to read bits at a time from a sequence of bytes, where the number of bits read is not often a multiple of 8.

This class is thread-safe but not reentrant -- unless the caller modifies the bytes array it passed in, in which case all bets are off.

```
public BitSource(byte[] bytes)
```
    Parameters:
    
    bytes - bytes from which this will read bits. Bits will be read from the first byte first. Bits are read within a byte from most-significant to least-significant bit.
- Method Detail
  - getBitOffset
```
public int getBitOffset()
```
    Returns:
    
    index of next bit in current byte which would be read by the next call to readBits(int).
  - getByteOffset
```
public int getByteOffset()
```
    Returns:
    
    index of next byte in input byte array which would be read by the next call to readBits(int).
  - readBits
```
public int readBits(int numBits)
```
    Parameters:
    
    numBits - number of bits to read
    
    Returns:
    
    int representing the bits read. The bits will appear as the least-significant bits of the int
    
    Throws:
    
    java.lang.IllegalArgumentException - if numBits isn't in [1,32] or more than is available
  - available
```
public int available()
```
    Returns:
    
    number of bits that can be read successfully
