Method Detail

read

public int read()
         throws IOException

Description copied from class: InputStream

Reads the next byte of data from the 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.

A subclass must provide an implementation of this method.

Specified by:

read in class InputStream

Returns:

the next byte of data, or -1 if the end of the stream is reached.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

available

public int available()
              throws IOException

Description copied from class: InputStream

Returns the number of bytes that can be read (or skipped over) from this input stream without blocking by the next caller of a method for this input stream. The next caller might be the same thread or another thread.

The available method for class InputStream always returns 0.

This method should be overridden by subclasses.

Overrides:

available in class InputStream

Returns:

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

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Description copied from class: InputStream

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

The close method of InputStream does nothing.

Overrides:

close in class InputStream

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O error occurs.
