Abstract class for reading character streams. The only methods that a subclass must implement are read(char[], int, int) and close(). Most subclasses, however, will override some of the methods defined here in order to provide higher efficiency, additional functionality, or both.

lock
protected Object lock
-
The object used to synchronize operations on this stream. For efficiency, a character-stream object may use an object other than itself to protect critical sections. A subclass should therefore use the object in this field rather than
this
or a synchronized method.
Reader
protected Reader()
-
Creates
Create
a new character-stream reader whose critical sections will synchronize on the reader itself.
Reader
protected Reader(Object lock)
-
Creates
Create
a new character-stream reader whose critical sections will synchronize on the given object.
-
Parameters:
-
lock - The Object to synchronize on.
read
public int read(CharBuffer target)
throws IOException
-
Attempts to read characters into the specified character buffer. The buffer is used as a repository of characters as-is: the only changes made are the results of a put operation. No flipping or rewinding of the buffer is performed.
-
-
Specified by:
-
read
in interface
Readable
-
-
Parameters:
-
target - the buffer to read characters into
-
Returns:
-
The number of characters added to the buffer, or -1 if this source of characters is at its end
-
Throws:
-
IOException
- if an I/O error occurs
-
NullPointerException
- if target is null
-
ReadOnlyBufferException - if target is a read only buffer
read
public int read()
throws IOException
-
Reads
Read
a single character. This method will block until a character is available, an I/O error occurs, or the end of the stream is reached.
Subclasses that intend to support efficient single-character input should override this method.
-
-
-
Returns:
-
The character read, as an integer in the range 0 to 65535 (
0x00-0xffff
), or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached
-
Throws:
-
IOException
- If an I/O error occurs
read
public int read(char[] cbuf)
throws IOException
-
Reads
Read
characters into an array. This method will block until some input is available, an I/O error occurs, or the end of the stream is reached.
-
-
-
Parameters:
-
cbuf - Destination buffer
-
Returns:
-
The number of characters read, or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached
-
Throws:
-
IOException
- If an I/O error occurs
read
public abstract int read(char[] cbuf,
int off,
int len)
throws IOException
-
Reads
Read
characters into a portion of an array. This method will block until some input is available, an I/O error occurs, or the end of the stream is reached.
-
-
-
Parameters:
-
cbuf - Destination buffer
-
off - Offset at which to start storing characters
-
len - Maximum number of characters to read
-
Returns:
-
The number of characters read, or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached
-
Throws:
-
IOException
- If an I/O error occurs
skip
public long skip(long n)
throws IOException
-
Skips
Skip
characters. This method will block until some characters are available, an I/O error occurs, or the end of the stream is reached.
-
-
-
Parameters:
-
n - The number of characters to skip
-
Returns:
-
The number of characters actually skipped
-
Throws:
-
IllegalArgumentException
- If n is negative.
-
IOException
- If an I/O error occurs
ready
public boolean ready()
throws IOException
-
Tells
Tell
whether this stream is ready to be read.
-
-
-
Returns:
-
True if the next read() is guaranteed not to block for input, false otherwise. Note that returning false does not guarantee that the next read will block.
-
Throws:
-
IOException
- If an I/O error occurs
markSupported
public boolean markSupported()
-
Tells
Tell
whether this stream supports the mark() operation. The default implementation always returns false. Subclasses should override this method.
-
-
-
Returns:
-
true if and only if this stream supports the mark operation.
mark
public void mark(int readAheadLimit)
throws IOException
-
Marks
Mark
the present position in the stream. Subsequent calls to reset() will attempt to reposition the stream to this point. Not all character-input streams support the mark() operation.
-
-
-
Parameters:
-
readAheadLimit - Limit on the number of characters that may be read while still preserving the mark. After reading this many characters, attempting to reset the stream may fail.
-
Throws:
-
IOException
- If the stream does not support mark(), or if some other I/O error occurs
reset
public void reset()
throws IOException
-
Resets
Reset
the stream. If the stream has been marked, then attempt to reposition it at the mark. If the stream has not been marked, then attempt to reset it in some way appropriate to the particular stream, for example by repositioning it to its starting point. Not all character-input streams support the reset() operation, and some support reset() without supporting mark().
-
-
-
Throws:
-
IOException
- If the stream has not been marked, or if the mark has been invalidated, or if the stream does not support reset(), or if some other I/O error occurs
close
public abstract void close()
throws IOException
-
Closes
Close
the
stream and releases any system resources associated with it.

invocations will throw an IOException. Closing a
