public class FilterInputStream extends InputStream
InputStream
and performs some transformation on
the input data while it is being read. Transformations can be anything from a
simple byte-wise filtering input data to an on-the-fly compression or
decompression of the underlying stream. Input streams that wrap another input
stream and provide some additional functionality on top of it usually inherit
from this class.FilterOutputStream

Modifier and Type | Method and Description |
---|---|
int |
available()
Returns an estimated number of bytes that can be read or skipped without blocking for more
input.
|
void |
close()
Closes this stream.
|
void |
mark(int readlimit)
Sets a mark position in this stream.
|
boolean |
markSupported()
Indicates whether this stream supports
mark() and reset() . |
int |
read()
Reads a single byte from the filtered stream and returns it as an integer
in the range from 0 to 255.
|
int |
read(byte[] buffer,
int offset,
int count)
Reads at most
count bytes from this stream and stores them in the
byte array buffer starting at offset . |
void |
reset()
Resets this stream to the last marked location.
|
long |
skip(long byteCount)
Skips
byteCount bytes in this stream. |

Warning: passing a null source creates an invalid

, that fails on every method that is not
overridden. Subclasses should check for null in their constructors.

InputStream
Note that this method provides such a weak guarantee that it is not very useful in practice.
Firstly, the guarantee is "without blocking for more input" rather than "without blocking": a read may still block waiting for I/O to complete — the guarantee is merely that it won't have to wait indefinitely for data to be written. The result of this method should not be used as a license to do I/O on a thread that shouldn't be blocked.
Secondly, the result is a conservative estimate and may be significantly smaller than the actual number of bytes available. In particular, an implementation that always returns 0 would be correct. In general, callers should only use this method if they'd be satisfied with treating the result as a boolean yes or no answer to the question "is there definitely data ready?".
Thirdly, the fact that a given number of bytes is "available" does not guarantee that a read or skip will actually read or skip that many bytes: they may read or skip fewer.
It is particularly important to realize that you must not use this method to
size a container and assume that you can read the entirety of the stream without needing
to resize the container. Such callers should probably write everything they read to a
ByteArrayOutputStream
and convert that to a byte array. Alternatively, if you're
reading from a file, File.length()
returns the current length of the file (though
assuming the file's length can't change may be incorrect, reading a file is inherently
racy).
The default implementation of this method in InputStream
always returns 0.
Subclasses should override this method if they are able to indicate the number of bytes
available.

indicates how many bytes can be read before the mark is invalidated.
Sending reset()
will reposition this stream back to the marked
position, provided that readlimit
has not been surpassed.
This implementation sets a mark in the filtered stream.
