- Method Detail
  - decode
```
static TypeInformation decode(io.netty.buffer.ByteBuf buffer,
                              boolean readFlags)
```
    Decode TypeInformation from the ByteBuf.
    
    Parameters:
    
    buffer - the data buffer.
    
    readFlags - true to decode flags (typically used when not using encryption).
    
    Returns:
    
    the decoded TypeInformation.
  - canDecode
```
static boolean canDecode(io.netty.buffer.ByteBuf buffer,
                         boolean readFlags)
```
    Check whether the ByteBuf contains sufficient readable bytes to decode the TypeInformation.
    
    Parameters:
    
    buffer - the data buffer.
    
    readFlags - true to parse type flags.
    
    Returns:
    
    true if the data buffer contains sufficient readable bytes to decode the TypeInformation.

    Returns:
    
    the user type name.
  - getCollation
```
@Nullable
Collation getCollation()
```

    Returns:
    
    the Collation.
  - getCharset
```
@Nullable
Charset getCharset()
```
