A BufferedInputStream adds functionality to another input stream-namely, the ability to buffer the input and to support the mark and reset methods. When the BufferedInputStream is created, an internal buffer array is created. As bytes from the stream are read or skipped, the internal buffer is refilled as necessary from the contained input stream, many bytes at a time. The mark operation remembers a point in the input stream and the reset operation causes all the bytes read since the most recent mark operation to be reread before new bytes are taken from the contained input stream.

The current position in the buffer. This is the index of the next character to be read from the buf array.

Reads bytes from this byte-input stream into the specified byte array, starting at the given offset.

This method implements the general contract of the corresponding read method of the InputStream class. As an additional convenience, it attempts to read as many bytes as possible by repeatedly invoking the read method of the underlying stream. This iterated read continues until one of the following conditions becomes true:

  • The specified number of bytes have been read,
  • The read method of the underlying stream returns -1, indicating end-of-file, or
  • The available method of the underlying stream returns zero, indicating that further input requests would block.
If the first read on the underlying stream returns -1 to indicate end-of-file then this method returns -1. Otherwise this method returns the number of bytes actually read.

Subclasses of this class are encouraged, but not required, to attempt to read as many bytes as possible in the same fashion.

Params:
  • b – destination buffer.
  • off – offset at which to start storing bytes.
  • len – maximum number of bytes to read.
Throws:
  • IOException – if this input stream has been closed by invoking its close() method, or an I/O error occurs.
Returns: the number of bytes read, or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached.

Returns an estimate of the number of bytes that can be read (or skipped over) from this input stream without blocking by the next invocation of a method for this input stream.
