public class FilterInputStream
extends InputStream

This class is the superclass of all classes that filter input
streams. These streams sit on top of an already existing input
stream (the underlying input stream), but provide
additional functionality.

The class FilterInputStream itself simply overrides
all methods of InputStream with versions that pass
all requests to the underlying input stream. Subclasses of
FilterInputStream may further override some of these
methods as well as provide additional methods and fields.








in
The underlying input stream.






FilterInputStream(InputStream)
Creates an input stream filter built on top of the specified
input stream.






available()
Returns the number of bytes that can be read from this input
stream without blocking.

close()
Closes this input stream and releases any system resources
associated with the stream.

mark(int)
Marks the current position in this input stream.

markSupported()
Tests if this input stream supports the mark
and reset methods.

read()
Reads the next byte of data from this input stream.

read(byte[])
Reads up to byte.length bytes of data from this
input stream into an array of bytes.

read(byte[], int, int)
Reads up to len bytes of data from this input stream
into an array of bytes.

reset()
Repositions this stream to the position at the time the
mark method was last called on this input stream.

skip(long)
Skips over and discards n bytes of data from the
input stream.






in

protected InputStream in


The underlying input stream.







FilterInputStream

protected FilterInputStream(InputStream in)


Creates an input stream filter built on top of the specified
input stream.


Parameters:
in - the underlying input stream.







read

public int read() throws IOException


Reads the next byte of data from this input stream. The value
byte is returned as an int in the range
0 to 255. If no byte is available
because the end of the stream has been reached, the value
-1 is returned. This method blocks until input data
is available, the end of the stream is detected, or an exception
is thrown.

The read method of FilterInputStream
calls the read method of its underlying input stream
and returns whatever value that method returns.


Returns:
the next byte of data, or -1 if the end of the
stream is reached.
Throws: IOException
if an I/O error occurs.
Overrides:
read in class InputStream
See Also:
in



read

public int read(byte b[]) throws IOException


Reads up to byte.length bytes of data from this
input stream into an array of bytes. This method blocks until some
input is available.

The read method of FilterInputStream
calls the read method of three arguments with the
arguments b, 0, and
b.length, and returns whatever value that method returns.

Note that this method does not call the one-argument
read method of its underlying stream with the single
argument b. Subclasses of
FilterInputStream do not need to override this method
if they have overridden the three-argument read method.


Parameters:
b - the buffer into which the data is read.
Returns:
the total number of bytes read into the buffer, or
-1 if there is no more data because the end of
the stream has been reached.
Throws: IOException
if an I/O error occurs.
Overrides:
read in class InputStream
See Also:
read



read

public int read(byte b[],
int off,
int len) throws IOException


Reads up to len bytes of data from this input stream
into an array of bytes. This method blocks until some input is
available.

The read method of FilterInputStream
calls the read method of its underlying input stream
with the same arguments and returns whatever value that method returns.


Parameters:
b - the buffer into which the data is read.
off - the start offset of the data.
len - the maximum number of bytes read.
Returns:
the total number of bytes read into the buffer, or
-1 if there is no more data because the end of
the stream has been reached.
Throws: IOException
if an I/O error occurs.
Overrides:
read in class InputStream
See Also:
in



skip

public long skip(long n) throws IOException


Skips over and discards n bytes of data from the
input stream. The skip method may, for a variety of
reasons, end up skipping over some smaller number of bytes,
possibly 0. The actual number of bytes skipped is
returned.

The skip method of FilterInputStream
calls the skip method of its underlying input stream
with the same argument, and returns whatever value that method does.


Parameters:
n - the number of bytes to be skipped.
Returns:
the actual number of bytes skipped.
Throws: IOException
if an I/O error occurs.
Overrides:
skip in class InputStream



available

public int available() throws IOException


Returns the number of bytes that can be read from this input
stream without blocking.

The available method of
FilterInputStream calls the available
method of its underlying input stream and returns whatever value
that method returns.


Returns:
the number of bytes that can be read from the input stream
without blocking.
Throws: IOException
if an I/O error occurs.
Overrides:
available in class InputStream
See Also:
in



close

public void close() throws IOException


Closes this input stream and releases any system resources
associated with the stream. The close method of
FilterInputStream calls the close method
of its underlying input stream.


Throws: IOException
if an I/O error occurs.
Overrides:
close in class InputStream
See Also:
in



mark

public synchronized void mark(int readlimit)


Marks the current position in this input stream. A subsequent
call to the reset method repositions this stream at
the last marked position so that subsequent reads re-read the same bytes.

The readlimit argument tells this input stream to
allow that many bytes to be read before the mark position gets
invalidated.

The mark method of FilterInputStream
calls the mark method of its underlying input stream
with the readlimit argument.


Parameters:
readlimit - the maximum limit of bytes that can be read before
the mark position becomes invalid.
Overrides:
mark in class InputStream
See Also:
in, reset



reset

public synchronized void reset() throws IOException


Repositions this stream to the position at the time the
mark method was last called on this input stream.

The reset method of FilterInputStream
calls the reset method of its underlying input stream.

Stream marks are intended to be used in
situations where you need to read ahead a little to see what's in
the stream. Often this is most easily done by invoking some
general parser. If the stream is of the type handled by the
parse, it just chugs along happily. If the stream is not of
that type, the parser should toss an exception when it fails.
If this happens within readlimit bytes, it allows the outer
code to reset the stream and try another parser.


Throws: IOException
if the stream has not been marked or if the
mark has been invalidated.
Overrides:
reset in class InputStream
See Also:
in, mark



markSupported

public boolean markSupported()


Tests if this input stream supports the mark
and reset methods. The markSupported
method of FilterInputStream calls the
markSupported method of its underlying input stream
and returns whatever value that method returns.


Returns:
true if this stream type supports the
mark and reset method;
false otherwise.
Overrides:
markSupported in class InputStream
See Also:
in, mark, reset
