Method Detail

readByte

public final byte readByte()
                    throws IOException

Reads and returns a single byte.

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

OutputStream.writeByte(byte)

readBytes

public final void readBytes(byte[] b,
                            int offset,
                            int len)
                     throws IOException

Reads a specified number of bytes into an array at the specified offset.

Parameters:

b - the array to read bytes into

offset - the offset in the array to start storing bytes

len - the number of bytes to read

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

OutputStream.writeBytes(byte[],int)

readInt

public final int readInt()
                  throws IOException

Reads four bytes and returns an int.

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

OutputStream.writeInt(int)

readVInt

public final int readVInt()
                   throws IOException

Reads an int stored in variable-length format. Reads between one and five bytes. Smaller values take fewer bytes. Negative numbers are not supported.

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

OutputStream.writeVInt(int)

readLong

public final long readLong()
                    throws IOException

Reads eight bytes and returns a long.

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

OutputStream.writeLong(long)

readVLong

public final long readVLong()
                     throws IOException

Reads a long stored in variable-length format. Reads between one and nine bytes. Smaller values take fewer bytes. Negative numbers are not supported.

Throws:

IOException

readString

public final String readString()
                        throws IOException

Reads a string.

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

OutputStream.writeString(String)

readChars

public final void readChars(char[] buffer,
                            int start,
                            int length)
                     throws IOException

Reads UTF-8 encoded characters into an array.

Parameters:

buffer - the array to read characters into

start - the offset in the array to start storing characters

length - the number of characters to read

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

OutputStream.writeChars(String,int,int)

readInternal

protected abstract void readInternal(byte[] b,
                                     int offset,
                                     int length)
                              throws IOException

Expert: implements buffer refill. Reads bytes from the current position in the input.

Parameters:

b - the array to read bytes into

offset - the offset in the array to start storing bytes

length - the number of bytes to read

Throws:

IOException

close

public abstract void close()
                    throws IOException

Closes the stream to futher operations.

Throws:

IOException

getFilePointer

public final long getFilePointer()

Returns the current position in this file, where the next read will occur.

See Also:

seek(long)

seek

public final void seek(long pos)
                throws IOException

Sets current position in this file, where the next read will occur.

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

getFilePointer()

seekInternal

protected abstract void seekInternal(long pos)
                              throws IOException

Expert: implements seek. Sets current position in this file, where the next readInternal(byte[],int,int) will occur.

Throws:

IOException

See Also:

readInternal(byte[],int,int)

length

public final long length()

The number of bytes in the file.

clone

public Object clone()

Returns a clone of this stream.

Clones of a stream access the same data, and are positioned at the same point as the stream they were cloned from.

Expert: Subclasses must ensure that clones may be positioned at different points in the input from each other and from the stream they were cloned from.

Overrides:
