A data input stream lets an application read primitive Java data
types from an underlying input stream in a machine-independent
way. An application uses a data output stream to write data that
can later be read by a data input stream.


DataInputStream is not necessarily safe for multithreaded access.
Thread safety is optional and is the responsibility of users of
methods in this class.

Reads some number of bytes from the contained input stream and
stores them into the buffer array b. The number of
bytes actually read is returned as an integer. This method blocks
until input data is available, end of file is detected, or an
exception is thrown.

If b is null, a NullPointerException is
thrown. If the length of b is zero, then no bytes are
read and 0 is returned; otherwise, there is an attempt
to read at least one byte. If no byte is available because the
stream is at end of file, the value -1 is returned;
otherwise, at least one byte is read and stored into b.

The first byte read is stored into element b[0], the
next one into b[1], and so on. The number of bytes read
is, at most, equal to the length of b. Let k
be the number of bytes actually read; these bytes will be stored in
elements b[0] through b[k-1], leaving
elements b[k] through b[b.length-1]
unaffected.

The read(b) method has the same effect as:

read(b, 0, b.length)



Params:
  • b –   the buffer into which the data is read.
Throws:
  • IOException – if the first byte cannot be read for any reason
other than end of file, the stream has been closed and the underlying
input stream does not support reading after close, or another I/O
error occurs.
See Also:
Returns:    the total number of bytes read into the buffer, or
            -1 if there is no more data because the end
            of the stream has been reached.

Reads up to len bytes of data from the contained
input stream into an array of bytes.  An attempt is made to read
as many as len bytes, but a smaller number may be read,
possibly zero. The number of bytes actually read is returned as an
integer.

 This method blocks until input data is available, end of file is
detected, or an exception is thrown.

 If len is zero, then no bytes are read and
0 is returned; otherwise, there is an attempt to read at
least one byte. If no byte is available because the stream is at end of
file, the value -1 is returned; otherwise, at least one
byte is read and stored into b.

 The first byte read is stored into element b[off], the
next one into b[off+1], and so on. The number of bytes read
is, at most, equal to len. Let k be the number of
bytes actually read; these bytes will be stored in elements
b[off] through b[off+k-1],
leaving elements b[off+k] through
b[off+len-1] unaffected.

 In every case, elements b[0] through
b[off] and elements b[off+len] through
b[b.length-1] are unaffected.

Params:
  • b –     the buffer into which the data is read.
  • off – the start offset in the destination array b
  • len –   the maximum number of bytes read.
Throws:
  • NullPointerException – If b is null.
  • IndexOutOfBoundsException – If off is negative,
len is negative, or len is greater than
b.length - off
  • IOException – if the first byte cannot be read for any reason
other than end of file, the stream has been closed and the underlying
input stream does not support reading after close, or another I/O
error occurs.
