Method Index

 o available()
Returns the number of bytes that can be read without blocking.
 o close()
Closes the input stream.
 o read()
Reads a byte of data.
 o read(byte[])
Reads into an array of bytes.
 o read(byte[], int, int)
Reads into an array of bytes.
 o readObject()
Read and return an object.
 o skip(long)
Skips n bytes of input.

Methods

 o readObject
 public abstract Object readObject() throws ClassNotFoundException, IOException
Read and return an object. The class that implements this interface defines where the object is "read" from.

Throws: ClassNotFoundException
If the class of a serialized object cannot be found.
Throws: IOException
If any of the usual Input/Output related exceptions occur.
 o read
 public abstract int read() throws IOException
Reads a byte of data. This method will block if no input is available.

Returns:
the byte read, or -1 if the end of the stream is reached.
Throws: IOException
If an I/O error has occurred.
 o read
 public abstract int read(byte b[]) throws IOException
Reads into an array of bytes. This method will block until some input is available.

Parameters:
b - the buffer into which the data is read
Returns:
the actual number of bytes read, -1 is returned when the end of the stream is reached.
Throws: IOException
If an I/O error has occurred.
 o read
 public abstract int read(byte b[],
                          int off,
                          int len) throws IOException
Reads into an array of bytes. This method will block until some input is available.

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 actual number of bytes read, -1 is returned when the end of the stream is reached.
Throws: IOException
If an I/O error has occurred.
 o skip
 public abstract long skip(long n) throws IOException
Skips n bytes of input.

Parameters:
n - the number of bytes to be skipped
Returns:
the actual number of bytes skipped.
Throws: IOException
If an I/O error has occurred.
 o available
 public abstract int available() throws IOException
Returns the number of bytes that can be read without blocking.

Returns:
the number of available bytes.
 o close
 public abstract void close() throws IOException
Closes the input stream. Must be called to release any resources associated with the stream.

Throws: IOException
If an I/O error has occurred.
