public static boolean equal ( byte [ ] a , byte [ ] b ) { if ( a == b ) return ( true ) ; if ( ( a == null ) || ( b == null ) ) return ( false ) ; if ( a . length != b . length ) return ( false ) ; for ( int i = 0 ; i < a . length ; i ++ ) if ( a [ i ] != b [ i ] ) return ( false ) ; return ( true ) ; }
Returns true if the byte arrays are identical ; false otherwise .
