  read()

  Deprecated.

  Reads the next byte of data from this input stream.

  int

  read(byte[] b, int off, int len)

• Field Details

  • buffer

    protected String buffer

    Deprecated.

    The string from which bytes are read.

  • pos

    protected int pos

    Deprecated.

    The index of the next character to read from the input stream buffer.

    See Also:

    • buffer

  • count

    protected int count

    Deprecated.

    The number of valid characters in the input stream buffer.

    • buffer

• Constructor Details

  • StringBufferInputStream

    public StringBufferInputStream(String s)

    Deprecated.

    Creates a string input stream to read data from the specified string.

    Parameters:

    s - the underlying input buffer.

• Method Details

  • read

    public int read()

    Deprecated.

    Reads the next byte of data from this 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.

    Specified by:

    read in class InputStream

    Implementation Requirements:

    The read method of StringBufferInputStream cannot block. It returns the low eight bits of the next character in this input stream's buffer.

    Returns:

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

  • read

    public int read(byte[] b, int off, int len)

    Deprecated.

    Reads up to len bytes of data from this input stream into an array of bytes.

    Overrides:

    read in class InputStream

    Implementation Requirements:

    The read method of StringBufferInputStream cannot block. It copies the low eight bits from the characters in this input stream's buffer into the byte array argument.

    Parameters:

    b - the buffer into which the data is read.

    off - the start offset in array b at which the data is written.

    len - the maximum number of bytes to read.

    Returns:

    the total number of bytes read into the buffer, or -1 if there is no more data because the end of the stream has been reached.

    See Also:

    • InputStream.read()

  • skip

    public long skip(long n)

    Deprecated.

    Skips n bytes of input from this input stream. Fewer bytes might be skipped if the end of the input stream is reached.

    Overrides:

    skip in class InputStream

    Parameters:

    n - the number of bytes to be skipped.

    Returns:

    the actual number of bytes skipped.

    See Also:

    • InputStream.skipNBytes(long)

  • available

    public int available()

    Deprecated.

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

    Overrides:

    available in class InputStream

    Returns:

    the value of count - pos, which is the number of bytes remaining to be read from the input buffer.

  • reset

    public void reset()

    Deprecated.

    Resets the input stream to begin reading from the first character of this input stream's underlying buffer.

    Overrides:

    reset in class InputStream

    See Also:

    • InputStream.mark(int)
    • IOException
