public Interface Limit

Methods that allow limits to be placed on an input or output stream to avoid clients reading or writing too much information.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
public int	Returns: the number of bytes within the limit that have not been read or written. clearLimit() Clear any limit set by setLimit.
public void	setLimit(int The length to set length) Set the limit of the data that can be read or written.

Method Detail

clearLimit	back to summary
public int clearLimit() Clear any limit set by setLimit. After this call no limit checking will be made on any read until a setLimit()) call is made. Returns:int the number of bytes within the limit that have not been read or written.

clearLimit

back to summary

public int clearLimit()

Clear any limit set by setLimit. After this call no limit checking will be made on any read until a setLimit()) call is made.

Returns:int: the number of bytes within the limit that have not been read or written.

setLimit	back to summary
public void setLimit(int length) throws IOException Set the limit of the data that can be read or written. After this call up to and including length bytes can be read from or skipped in the stream. On input classes (e.g. InputStreams) any attempt to read or skip beyond the limit will result in an end of file indication (e.g. read() methods returning -1 or throwing EOFException). On output classes (e.g. OutputStream) any attempt to write more beyond the limit will result in an EOFException Parameters length:int The length to set Exceptions IOException: IOException from some underlying stream EOFException: The set limit would exceed the available data in the stream.

setLimit

back to summary

public void setLimit(int length) throws IOException

Set the limit of the data that can be read or written. After this call up to and including length bytes can be read from or skipped in the stream.

On input classes (e.g. InputStreams) any attempt to read or skip beyond the limit will result in an end of file indication (e.g. read() methods returning -1 or throwing EOFException).

On output classes (e.g. OutputStream) any attempt to write more beyond the limit will result in an EOFException

Parameters

length:int: The length to set

Exceptions

IOException:: IOException from some underlying stream
EOFException:: The set limit would exceed the available data in the stream.
