- Method Detail
  - Array
```
INativeType Array(int size)
```
    Create an array type from this.
    
    Parameters:
    
    size - The predefined size for the array.
    
    Returns:
    
    The derived type.
  - createNative
```
INativeObject createNative(java.lang.Object value)
```
    Create an INativeObject for this type from the Java object.
    
    Parameters:
    
    value -
    
    Returns:
    
    The new INativeObject
  - createNative
```
INativeObject createNative(INativeHandle handle)
```
    Create a new INativeObject from a INativeHandle.
    
    Parameters:
    
    handle - The handle to memory.
    
    Returns:
    
    The new INativeObject
  - getPreferredBoundary
```
int getPreferredBoundary()
```
    The boundary where this type as a struct member would want to be aligned. A structure can override this value with packing.
    
    Returns:
    
    The preferred alignment boundary.
  - getByteCount
```
int getByteCount()
```
    The size of the type in c memory.
    
    Returns:
    
    The size of the type in c memory.
  - Ref
```
INativeType Ref()
```
    Create a reference type to this.
    
    Returns:
    
    The derived type.
