## Class PackedInteger

- java.lang.Object
- - com.sleepycat.util.PackedInteger

-     public class PackedInteger
      extends java.lang.Object

  Static methods for reading and writing packed integers.

  Most applications should use the classes in the `com.sleepycat.bind.tuple` package rather than using this class directly.
