Class IIOInputStream

public IIOInputStream(ImageInputStream is)

public int available()

This method returns the number of bytes that can be read from this stream before a read can block. A return of 0 indicates that blocking might (or might not) occur on the very next read attempt.

This method always returns 0 in this class

Overrides:

available in interface InputStream

Returns:

The number of bytes that can be read before blocking could occur

public void close()
            throws IOException

This method closes the stream. Any futher attempts to read from the stream may generate an IOException

This method does nothing in this class, but subclasses may override this method in order to provide additional functionality.

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

close in interface AutoCloseable

Overrides:

close in interface InputStream

Throws:

IOException - If an error occurs, which can only happen in a subclass

public void mark(int readlimit)

This method marks a position in the input to which the stream can be "reset" by calling the reset() method. The parameter @code{readlimit} is the number of bytes that can be read from the stream after setting the mark before the mark becomes invalid. For example, if mark() is called with a read limit of 10, then when 11 bytes of data are read from the stream before the reset() method is called, then the mark is invalid and the stream object instance is not required to remember the mark.

This method does nothing in this class, but subclasses may override it to provide mark/reset functionality.

Overrides:

mark in interface InputStream

Parameters:

public boolean markSupported()

This method returns a boolean that indicates whether the mark/reset methods are supported in this class. Those methods can be used to remember a specific point in the stream and reset the stream to that point.

This method always returns false in this class, but subclasses can override this method to return true if they support mark/reset functionality.

Overrides:

markSupported in interface InputStream

Returns:

true if mark/reset functionality is supported, false otherwise

public int read()
            throws IOException

This method reads an unsigned byte from the input stream and returns it as an int in the range of 0-255. This method also will return -1 if the end of the stream has been reached.

This method will block until the byte can be read.

Overrides:

read in interface InputStream

Returns:

The byte read or -1 if end of stream

Throws:

IOException - If an error occurs

public int read(byte[] b)
            throws IOException

This method reads bytes from a stream and stores them into a caller supplied buffer. This method attempts to completely fill the buffer, but can return before doing so. The actual number of bytes read is returned as an int. A -1 is returned to indicate the end of the stream.

This method will block until some data can be read.

This method operates by calling an overloaded read method like so: read(b, 0, b.length)

Overrides:

read in interface InputStream

Parameters:

b - The buffer into which the bytes read will be stored.

Returns:

The number of bytes read or -1 if end of stream.

Throws:

IOException - If an error occurs.

public int read(byte[] b,
                int offset,
                int length)
            throws IOException

This method read bytes from a stream and stores them into a caller supplied buffer. It starts storing the data at index off into the buffer and attempts to read len bytes. This method can return before reading the number of bytes requested. The actual number of bytes read is returned as an int. A -1 is returned to indicate the end of the stream.

This method will block until some data can be read.

This method operates by calling the single byte read() method in a loop until the desired number of bytes are read. The read loop stops short if the end of the stream is encountered or if an IOException is encountered on any read operation except the first. If the first attempt to read a bytes fails, the IOException is allowed to propagate upward. And subsequent IOException is caught and treated identically to an end of stream condition. Subclasses can (and should if possible) override this method to provide a more efficient implementation.

Overrides:

read in interface InputStream

Parameters:

b - The array into which the bytes read should be stored

Returns:

The actual number of bytes read, or -1 if end of stream.

Throws:

IOException - If an error occurs.

public void reset()
            throws IOException

This method resets a stream to the point where the mark() method was called. Any bytes that were read after the mark point was set will be re-read during subsequent reads.

This method always throws an IOException in this class, but subclasses can override this method if they provide mark/reset functionality.

Overrides:

reset in interface InputStream

Throws:

IOException - Always thrown for this class

public long skip(long n)
            throws IOException

This method skips the specified number of bytes in the stream. It returns the actual number of bytes skipped, which may be less than the requested amount.

This method reads and discards bytes into a byte array until the specified number of bytes were skipped or until either the end of stream is reached or a read attempt returns a short count. Subclasses can override this metho to provide a more efficient implementation where one exists.

Overrides:

skip in interface InputStream

Parameters:

n - The requested number of bytes to skip

Returns:

The actual number of bytes skipped.

Throws:

IOException - If an error occurs
