Class BufferedInputStream

java.lang.Objectjava.io.InputStreamjava.io.FilterInputStreamjava.io.BufferedInputStream


public class BufferedInputStream extends FilterInputStream

A BufferedInputStream adds functionality to another input stream-namely, the ability to buffer the input and to support the mark and reset methods. When the BufferedInputStream is created, an internal buffer array is created. As bytes from the stream are read or skipped, the internal buffer is refilled as necessary from the contained input stream, many bytes at a time. The mark operation remembers a point in the input stream and the reset operation causes all the bytes read since the most recent mark operation to be reread before new bytes are taken from the contained input stream.

JDK1.0

Fields

volatile byte
buf
The internal buffer array where the data is stored. When necessary, it may be replaced by another array of a different size.
int
count
The index one greater than the index of the last valid byte in the buffer. This value is always in the range 0 through buf.length; elements buf[0] through buf[count-1] contain buffered input data obtained from the underlying input stream.
int
marklimit
The maximum read ahead allowed after a call to the mark method before subsequent calls to the reset method fail. Whenever the difference between pos and markpos exceeds marklimit, then the mark may be dropped by setting markpos to -1.
int
markpos
The value of the pos field at the time the last mark method was called. This value is always in the range -1 through pos. If there is no marked position in the input stream, this field is -1. If there is a marked position in the input stream, then buf[markpos] is the first by ... more >
int
pos
The current position in the buffer. This is the index of the next character to be read from the buf array. This value is always in the range 0 through count. If it is less than count, then buf[pos] is the next byte to be supplied as input; if it is equal to count, then the ne ... more >

Constructors

public
BufferedInputStream (InputStream in)
Creates a BufferedInputStream and saves its argument, the input stream in, for later use. An internal buffer array is created and stored in buf.
public
BufferedInputStream (InputStream in, int size)
Creates a BufferedInputStream with the specified buffer size, and saves its argument, the input stream in, for later use. An internal buffer array of length size is created and stored in buf.

Methods

synchronized int
available ()
Returns the number of bytes that can be read from this input stream without blocking. The available method of BufferedInputStream returns the sum of the number of bytes remaining to be read in the buffer (count - pos) and the result of calling the available method of the ... more >
void
close ()
Closes this input stream and releases any system resources associated with the stream.
synchronized void
mark (int readlimit)
See the general contract of the mark method of InputStream.
boolean
markSupported ()
Tests if this input stream supports the mark and reset methods. The markSupported method of BufferedInputStream returns true.
synchronized int
read ()
See the general contract of the read method of InputStream.
synchronized int
read (byte b, int off, int len)
Reads bytes from this byte-input stream into the specified byte array, starting at the given offset. This method implements the general contract of the corresponding int, int) read method of the InputStream class. As an additional convenience, it attempts to read as many bytes as ... more >
synchronized void
reset ()
See the general contract of the reset method of InputStream. If markpos is -1 (no mark has been set or the mark has been invalidated), an IOException is thrown. Otherwise, pos is set equal to markpos.
synchronized long
skip (long n)
See the general contract of the skip method of InputStream.
