readFullyback to summary
public void readFully(byte[] b) throws IOException

Implements java.io.DataInput.readFully.

Doc from java.io.DataInput.readFully.

Reads some bytes from an input stream and stores them into the buffer array b. The number of bytes read is equal to the length of b.

This method blocks until one of the following conditions occurs:

  • b.length bytes of input data are available, in which case a normal return is made.
  • End of file is detected, in which case an EOFException is thrown.
  • An I/O error occurs, in which case an IOException other than EOFException is thrown.

If b is null, a NullPointerException is thrown. If b.length is zero, then no bytes are read. Otherwise, the first byte read is stored into element b[0], the next one into b[1], and so on. If an exception is thrown from this method, then it may be that some but not all bytes of b have been updated with data from the input stream.

Parameters
b:byte[]

the buffer into which the data is read.

IOException:

readFullyback to summary
public void readFully(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException

Implements java.io.DataInput.readFully.

Doc from java.io.DataInput.readFully.

Reads len bytes from an input stream.

This method blocks until one of the following conditions occurs:

  • len bytes of input data are available, in which case a normal return is made.
  • End of file is detected, in which case an EOFException is thrown.
  • An I/O error occurs, in which case an IOException other than EOFException is thrown.

If b is null, a NullPointerException is thrown. If off is negative, or len is negative, or off+len is greater than the length of the array b, then an IndexOutOfBoundsException is thrown. If len is zero, then no bytes are read. Otherwise, the first byte read is stored into element b[off], the next one into b[off+1], and so on. The number of bytes read is, at most, equal to len.

Parameters
b:byte[]

the buffer into which the data is read.

off:int

an int specifying the offset in the data array b.

len:int

an int specifying the number of bytes to read.

readUTFback to summary
public String readUTF() throws IOException

Implements java.io.DataInput.readUTF.

Doc from java.io.DataInput.readUTF.

Reads in a string that has been encoded using a modified UTF-8 format. The general contract of readUTF is that it reads a representation of a Unicode character string encoded in modified UTF-8 format; this string of characters is then returned as a String.

First, two bytes are read and used to construct an unsigned 16-bit integer in exactly the manner of the readUnsignedShort method . This integer value is called the UTF length and specifies the number of additional bytes to be read. These bytes are then converted to characters by considering them in groups. The length of each group is computed from the value of the first byte of the group. The byte following a group, if any, is the first byte of the next group.

If the first byte of a group matches the bit pattern 0xxxxxxx (where x means "may be 0 or 1"), then the group consists of just that byte. The byte is zero-extended to form a character.

If the first byte of a group matches the bit pattern 110xxxxx, then the group consists of that byte a and a second byte b. If there is no byte b (because byte a was the last of the bytes to be read), or if byte b does not match the bit pattern 10xxxxxx, then a UTFDataFormatException is thrown. Otherwise, the group is converted to the character:

(char)(((a & 0x1F) << 6) | (b & 0x3F))
If the first byte of a group matches the bit pattern 1110xxxx, then the group consists of that byte a and two more bytes b and c. If there is no byte c (because byte a was one of the last two of the bytes to be read), or either byte b or byte c does not match the bit pattern 10xxxxxx, then a UTFDataFormatException is thrown. Otherwise, the group is converted to the character:
(char)(((a & 0x0F) << 12) | ((b & 0x3F) << 6) | (c & 0x3F))
If the first byte of a group matches the pattern 1111xxxx or the pattern 10xxxxxx, then a UTFDataFormatException is thrown.

If end of file is encountered at any time during this entire process, then an EOFException is thrown.

After every group has been converted to a character by this process, the characters are gathered, in the same order in which their corresponding groups were read from the input stream, to form a String, which is returned.

The writeUTF method of interface DataOutput may be used to write data that is suitable for reading by this method.

Returns:String

a Unicode string.

skipBytesback to summary
public int skipBytes(int n) throws IOException

Implements java.io.DataInput.skipBytes.

Doc from java.io.DataInput.skipBytes.

Makes an attempt to skip over n bytes of data from the input stream, discarding the skipped bytes. However, it may skip over some smaller number of bytes, possibly zero. This may result from any of a number of conditions; reaching end of file before n bytes have been skipped is only one possibility. This method never throws an EOFException. The actual number of bytes skipped is returned.

Parameters
n:int

the number of bytes to be skipped.

Returns:int

the number of bytes actually skipped.
