Field Detail

bufback to summary
protected char[] buf

The character buffer.

countback to summary
protected int count

The index of the end of this buffer. There is no valid data at or beyond this index.

markedPosback to summary
protected int markedPos

The position of mark in buffer.

posback to summary
protected int pos

The current buffer position.

Constructor Detail

CharArrayReaderback to summary
public CharArrayReader(char[] buf)

Creates a CharArrayReader from the specified array of chars.

Parameters
buf:char[]

Input buffer (not copied)

CharArrayReaderback to summary
public CharArrayReader(char[] buf, int offset, int length)

Creates a CharArrayReader from the specified array of chars.

The resulting reader will start reading at the given offset. The total number of char values that can be read from this reader will be either length or buf.length-offset, whichever is smaller.

Parameters
buf:char[]

Input buffer (not copied)

offset:int

Offset of the first char to read

length:int

Number of chars to read

Exceptions
IllegalArgumentException:
If offset is negative or greater than buf.length, or if length is negative, or if the sum of these two values is negative.

Method Detail

closeback to summary
public void close()

Implements abstract java.io.Reader.close.

Implements java.io.Closeable.close.

Closes the stream and releases any system resources associated with it. Once the stream has been closed, further read(), ready(), mark(), reset(), or skip() invocations will throw an IOException. Closing a previously closed stream has no effect. This method will block while there is another thread blocking on the reader.

ensureOpenback to summary
private void ensureOpen() throws IOException

Checks to make sure that the stream has not been closed

markback to summary
public void mark(int readAheadLimit) throws IOException

Overrides java.io.Reader.mark.

Marks the present position in the stream. Subsequent calls to reset() will reposition the stream to this point.

Parameters
readAheadLimit:int

Limit on the number of characters that may be read while still preserving the mark. Because the stream's input comes from a character array, there is no actual limit; hence this argument is ignored.

Exceptions
IOException:
If an I/O error occurs
markSupportedback to summary
public boolean markSupported()

Overrides java.io.Reader.markSupported.

Tells whether this stream supports the mark() operation, which it does.

Returns:boolean

Doc from java.io.Reader.markSupported.

true if and only if this stream supports the mark operation.

readback to summary
public int read() throws IOException

Overrides java.io.Reader.read.

Reads a single character.

Returns:int

Doc from java.io.Reader.read.

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

Exceptions
IOException:
If an I/O error occurs
readback to summary
public int read(char[] cbuf, int off, int len) throws IOException

Implements abstract java.io.Reader.read.

Reads characters into a portion of an array.

If len is zero, then no characters are read and 0 is returned; otherwise, there is an attempt to read at least one character. If no character is available because the stream is at its end, the value -1 is returned; otherwise, at least one character is read and stored into cbuf.

Parameters
cbuf:char[]

Doc from java.io.Reader.read.

Destination buffer

off:int

Doc from java.io.Reader.read.

Offset at which to start storing characters

len:int

Doc from java.io.Reader.read.

Maximum number of characters to read

Returns:int

Doc from java.io.Reader.read.

The number of characters read, or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached

Exceptions
IOException:
If an I/O error occurs
IndexOutOfBoundsException:
If off is negative, or len is negative, or len is greater than cbuf.length - off
readback to summary
public int read(CharBuffer target) throws IOException

Overrides java.io.Reader.read.

Implements java.lang.Readable.read.

Doc from java.io.Reader.read.

Attempts to read characters into the specified character buffer. The buffer is used as a repository of characters as-is: the only changes made are the results of a put operation. No flipping or rewinding of the buffer is performed. If the length of the specified character buffer is zero, then no characters will be read and zero will be returned.

Parameters
target:CharBuffer

the buffer to read characters into

Returns:int

The number of characters added to the buffer, possibly zero, or -1 if this source of characters is at its end

Annotations
@Override
Exceptions
IOException:
if an I/O error occurs
readyback to summary
public boolean ready() throws IOException

Overrides java.io.Reader.ready.

Tells whether this stream is ready to be read. Character-array readers are always ready to be read.

Returns:boolean

Doc from java.io.Reader.ready.

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.

Exceptions
IOException:
If an I/O error occurs
resetback to summary
public void reset() throws IOException

Overrides java.io.Reader.reset.

Resets the stream to the most recent mark, or to the beginning if it has never been marked.

Exceptions
IOException:
If an I/O error occurs
skipback to summary
public long skip(long n) throws IOException

Overrides java.io.Reader.skip.

Skips characters. If the stream is already at its end before this method is invoked, then no characters are skipped and zero is returned.

The n parameter may be negative, even though the skip method of the Reader superclass throws an exception in this case. If n is negative, then this method does nothing and returns 0.

Parameters
n:long

Doc from java.io.Reader.skip.

The number of characters to skip

Returns:long

Doc from java.io.Reader.skip.

The number of characters actually skipped

Exceptions
IOException:
If an I/O error occurs
