Method Index

o available()
Returns the number of bytes that can be read from this file input stream without blocking.
o close()
Closes this file input stream and releases any system resources associated with the stream.
o finalize()
Ensures that the close method of this file input stream is called when there are no more references to it.
o read()
Reads a byte of data from this input stream.
o read(byte[], int, int)
Reads up to len bytes of data from this input stream into an array of bytes.
o run()
Used internally by the RemoteFileInputStream to prefetch data in a separate thread.
o skip(long)
Skips over and discards n bytes of data from the input stream.

Methods

o read 
 public synchronized int read() throws IOException
Reads a byte of data from this input stream. This method blocks if no input is yet available.

Returns:
the next byte of data, or -1 if the end of the file is reached.
Throws: IOException
if an I/O error occurs.
Overrides:
read in class InputStream
o read 
 public synchronized int read(byte b[],
                              int off,
                              int len) throws IOException
Reads up to len bytes of data from this input stream into an array of bytes. This method blocks until some input is available.

Parameters:
b - the buffer into which the data is read.
off - the start offset of the data.
len - the maximum number of bytes read.
Returns:
the total number of bytes read into the buffer, or -1 if there is no more data because the end of the file has been reached.
Throws: IOException
if an I/O error occurs.
Overrides:
read in class InputStream
o skip 
 public synchronized long skip(long n) throws IOException
Skips over and discards n bytes of data from the input stream. The skip method may, for a variety of reasons, end up skipping over some smaller number of bytes, possibly 0. The actual number of bytes skipped is returned.

Parameters:
n - the number of bytes to be skipped.
Returns:
the actual number of bytes skipped.
Throws: IOException
if an I/O error occurs.
Overrides:
skip in class InputStream
o available 
 public synchronized int available() throws IOException
Returns the number of bytes that can be read from this file input stream without blocking.

Returns:
the number of bytes that can be read from this file input stream without blocking.
Throws: IOException
if an I/O error occurs.
Overrides:
available in class InputStream
o close 
 public synchronized void close() throws IOException
Closes this file input stream and releases any system resources associated with the stream.

Throws: IOException
if an I/O error occurs.
Overrides:
close in class InputStream
o finalize 
 protected void finalize() throws IOException
Ensures that the close method of this file input stream is called when there are no more references to it.

Throws: IOException
if an I/O error occurs.
Overrides:
finalize in class Object

o run 
 public void run()
Used internally by the RemoteFileInputStream to prefetch data in a separate thread.
