  • Method Details

    • read

      public int read() throws IOException
      Read a single character. This method will block until a character is available, an I/O error occurs, or the end of the stream is reached.

      Subclasses that intend to support efficient single-character input should override this method.

      Overrides:
      read in class Reader
      Returns:
      The character read, as an integer in the range 0 to 65535 (0x00-0xffff), or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached
      Throws:
      IOException - If an I/O error occurs
    • read

      public int read(char[] ach) throws IOException
      Read characters into an array. This method will block until some input is available, an I/O error occurs, or the end of the stream is reached.
      Overrides:
      read in class Reader
      Parameters:
      ach - Destination buffer
      Returns:
      The number of bytes read, or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached
      Throws:
      IOException - If an I/O error occurs
    • read

      public int read(char[] ach, int of, int cch) throws IOException
      Read characters into a portion of an array. This method will block until some input is available, an I/O error occurs, or the end of the stream is reached.
      Specified by:
      read in class Reader
      Parameters:
      ach - array of characters to read into
      of - offset into the array at which to start storing characters
      cch - maximum number of characters to read
      Returns:
      the number of characters read, or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached
      Throws:
      IOException - If an I/O error occurs
    • skip

      public long skip(long cch) throws IOException
      Skip characters. This method will block until some characters are available, an I/O error occurs, or the end of the stream is reached.
      Overrides:
      skip in class Reader
      Parameters:
      cch - The number of characters to skip
      Returns:
      The number of characters actually skipped
      Throws:
      IllegalArgumentException - If n is negative.
      IOException - If an I/O error occurs
    • ready

      public boolean ready() throws IOException
      Tell whether this stream is ready to be read.
      Overrides:
      ready in class Reader
      Returns:
      True if the next read() is guaranteed not to block for input, false otherwise. Note that returning false does not guarantee that the next read will block.
      Throws:
      IOException - If an I/O error occurs
    • markSupported

      public boolean markSupported()
      Tell whether this stream supports the mark() operation. The default implementation always returns false. Subclasses should override this method.
      Overrides:
      markSupported in class Reader
      Returns:
      true if and only if this stream supports the mark operation.
    • mark

      public void mark(int cchLimit) throws IOException
      Mark the present position in the stream. Subsequent calls to reset() will attempt to reposition the stream to this point. Not all character-input streams support the mark() operation.
      Overrides:
      mark in class Reader
      Parameters:
      cchLimit - Limit on the number of characters that may be read while still preserving the mark. After reading this many characters, attempting to reset the stream may fail.
      Throws:
      IOException - If the stream does not support mark(), or if some other I/O error occurs
    • reset

      public void reset() throws IOException
      Reset the stream. If the stream has been marked, then attempt to reposition it at the mark. If the stream has not been marked, then attempt to reset it in some way appropriate to the particular stream, for example by repositioning it to its starting point. Not all character-input streams support the reset() operation, and some support reset() without supporting mark().
      Overrides:
      reset in class Reader
      Throws:
      IOException - If the stream has not been marked, or if the mark has been invalidated, or if the stream does not support reset(), or if some other I/O error occurs
    • close

      public void close() throws IOException
      Close the stream. Once a stream has been closed, further read(), ready(), mark(), or reset() invocations will throw an IOException. Closing a previously-closed stream, however, has no effect.
      Specified by:
      close in interface AutoCloseable
      Specified by:
      close in interface Closeable
      Specified by:
      close in class Reader
      Throws:
      IOException - If an I/O error occurs
