Deprecated.

Returns an int representing then number of characters that are available to read.

Overrides:

available in class InputStream

public int read()

Deprecated.

Reads a single byte from this InputStream and returns the result as an int. The low-order byte is returned or -1 of the end of stream was encountered.

Specified by:

read in class InputStream

Returns:

the byte read or -1 if end of stream.

read

public int read(byte[] b,
                int offset,
                int length)

Deprecated.

Reads at most length bytes from this InputStream and stores them in byte array b starting at offset. Answer the number of bytes actually read or -1 if no bytes were read and end of stream was encountered.

Overrides:

read in class InputStream

Parameters:

b - the byte array in which to store the read bytes.

offset - the offset in b to store the read bytes.

length - the maximum number of bytes to store in b.

Returns:

the number of bytes actually read or -1 if end of stream.

reset

public void reset()

Deprecated.

Reset this InputStream to position 0. Reads/Skips will now take place from this position.

Overrides:

reset in class InputStream

skip

public long skip(long n)

Deprecated.

Skips count number of characters in this InputStream. Subsequent read()'s will not return these characters unless reset() is used.
