Modifier and Type	Method	Description
`io.pravega.client.stream.impl.EventPointerInternal`	`asImpl()`	Used internally.
`static EventPointer`	`fromBytes(java.nio.ByteBuffer eventPointer)`	Deserializes the event pointer from its serialized from obtained from calling `toBytes()`.
`Stream`	`getStream()`	Returns the stream from which event is read from, fully qualified stream name can be obtained from calling `Stream.getScopedName()`}.
`java.nio.ByteBuffer`	`toBytes()`	Serializes the Event pointer to a compact binary form.
