Overrides java.io.InputStream.read.

Doc from java.io.InputStream.read.

Reads up to len bytes of data from the input stream into an array of bytes. An attempt is made to read as many as len bytes, but a smaller number may be read. The number of bytes actually read is returned as an integer.

This method blocks until input data is available, end of file is detected, or an exception is thrown.

If len is zero, then no bytes are read and 0 is returned; otherwise, there is an attempt to read at least one byte. If no byte is available because the stream is at end of file, the value -1 is returned; otherwise, at least one byte is read and stored into b.

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. Let k be the number of bytes actually read; these bytes will be stored in elements b[off] through b[off+k-1], leaving elements b[off+k] through b[off+len-1] unaffected.

In every case, elements b[0] through b[off-1] and elements b[off+len] through b[b.length-1] are unaffected.

Parameters

b:byte[]

the buffer into which the data is read.

off:int

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

len:int

the maximum number of bytes to read.

Returns:int

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.

Exceptions

IOException:

If the first byte cannot be read for any reason other than end of file, or if the input stream has been closed, or if some other I/O error occurs.
