public classBufferedInputStreamextendsFilterInputStream
ABufferedInputStream adds functionality to another input stream-namely, the ability to buffer the input and to support themark andreset methods. When theBufferedInputStream 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. Themark operation remembers a point in the input stream and thereset operation causes all the bytes read since the most recentmark operation to be reread before new bytes are taken from the contained input stream.

    Methods declared in class java.io.FilterInputStream

    read
  • Field Details

    • buf

      protected 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.
    • count

      protected int count
      The index one greater than the index of the last valid byte in the buffer. This value is always in the range0 throughbuf.length; elementsbuf[0] throughbuf[count-1] contain buffered input data obtained from the underlying input stream.
    • pos

      protected int pos
      The current position in the buffer. This is the index of the next character to be read from thebuf array.

      This value is always in the range0 throughcount. If it is less thancount, thenbuf[pos] is the next byte to be supplied as input; if it is equal tocount, then the nextread orskip operation will require more bytes to be read from the contained input stream.

      See Also:
    • markpos

      protected int markpos
      The value of thepos field at the time the lastmark method was called.

      This value is always in the range-1 throughpos. If there is no marked position in the input stream, this field is-1. If there is a marked position in the input stream, thenbuf[markpos] is the first byte to be supplied as input after areset operation. Ifmarkpos is not-1, then all bytes from positionsbuf[markpos] throughbuf[pos-1] must remain in the buffer array (though they may be moved to another place in the buffer array, with suitable adjustments to the values ofcount,pos, andmarkpos); they may not be discarded unless and until the difference betweenpos andmarkpos exceedsmarklimit.

      See Also:
    • marklimit

      protected int marklimit
      The maximum read ahead allowed after a call to themark method before subsequent calls to thereset method fail. Whenever the difference betweenpos andmarkpos exceedsmarklimit, then the mark may be dropped by settingmarkpos to-1.

    • BufferedInputStream

      public BufferedInputStream(InputStream in)

      in - the underlying input stream.
    • BufferedInputStream

      public BufferedInputStream(InputStream in, int size)
      Creates aBufferedInputStream with the specified buffer size, and saves its argument, the input streamin, for later use. An internal buffer array of lengthsize is created and stored inbuf.
      Parameters:
      in - the underlying input stream.
      size - the buffer size.
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - ifsize <= 0.

    • read

      public int read() throwsIOException
      See the general contract of theread method ofInputStream.
      Overrides:
      read in class FilterInputStream
      Returns:
      the next byte of data, or-1 if the end of the stream is reached.
      Throws:
      IOException - if this input stream has been closed by invoking itsclose() method, or an I/O error occurs.
      See Also:
    • read

      public int read(byte[] b, int off, int len) throwsIOException
      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 correspondingread method of theInputStream class. As an additional convenience, it attempts to read as many bytes as possible by repeatedly invoking theread method of the underlying stream. This iteratedread continues until one of the following conditions becomes true:

      • The specified number of bytes have been read,
      • Theread method of the underlying stream returns-1, indicating end-of-file, or
      • Theavailable method of the underlying stream returns zero, indicating that further input requests would block.
      If the firstread on the underlying stream returns-1 to indicate end-of-file then this method returns-1. Otherwise this method returns the number of bytes actually read.

      Subclasses of this class are encouraged, but not required, to attempt to read as many bytes as possible in the same fashion.

      Overrides:
      read in class FilterInputStream
      Parameters:
      b - destination buffer.
      off - offset at which to start storing bytes.
      len - maximum number of bytes to read.
      Returns:
      the number of bytes read, or-1 if the end of the stream has been reached.
      Throws:
      IOException - if this input stream has been closed by invoking itsclose() method, or an I/O error occurs.
      See Also:
    • skip

      public long skip(long n) throwsIOException
      See the general contract of theskip method ofInputStream.
      Overrides:
      skip in class FilterInputStream
      Parameters:
      n - the number of bytes to be skipped.
      Returns:
      the actual number of bytes skipped.
      Throws:
      IOException - if this input stream has been closed by invoking itsclose() method,in.skip(n) throws an IOException, or an I/O error occurs.
      See Also:
    • available

      public int available() throwsIOException
      Returns an estimate of the number of bytes that can be read (or skipped over) from this input stream without blocking by the next invocation of a method for this input stream. The next invocation might be the same thread or another thread. A single read or skip of this many bytes will not block, but may read or skip fewer bytes.

      This method returns the sum of the number of bytes remaining to be read in the buffer (count - pos) and the result of calling thein.available().

      Overrides:
      available in class FilterInputStream
      Returns:
      an estimate of the number of bytes that can be read (or skipped over) from this input stream without blocking.
      Throws:
      IOException - if this input stream has been closed by invoking itsclose() method, or an I/O error occurs.
    • mark

      public void mark(int readlimit)
      See the general contract of themark method ofInputStream.
      Overrides:
      mark in class FilterInputStream
      Parameters:
      readlimit - the maximum limit of bytes that can be read before the mark position becomes invalid.
      See Also:
    • reset

      public void reset() throwsIOException
      See the general contract of thereset method ofInputStream.

      Ifmarkpos is-1 (no mark has been set or the mark has been invalidated), anIOException is thrown. Otherwise,pos is set equal tomarkpos.

      Overrides:
      reset in class FilterInputStream
      Throws:
      IOException - if this stream has not been marked or, if the mark has been invalidated, or the stream has been closed by invoking itsclose() method, or an I/O error occurs.
      See Also:
    • markSupported

      public boolean markSupported()
      Tests if this input stream supports themark andreset methods. ThemarkSupported method ofBufferedInputStream returnstrue.
      Overrides:
      markSupported in class FilterInputStream
      Returns:
      aboolean indicating if this stream type supports themark andreset methods.
      See Also:
    • close

      public void close() throwsIOException
      Closes this input stream and releases any system resources associated with the stream. Once the stream has been closed, further read(), available(), reset(), or skip() invocations will throw an IOException. Closing a previously closed stream has no effect.
