java.lang.Object java.io.InputStream java.io.FileInputStream
A FileInputStream obtains input bytes from a file in a file system. What files are available depends on the host environment.
FileInputStream is meant for reading streams of raw bytes such as image data. For reading streams of characters, consider using FileReader.
Constructor Summary | |
---|---|
FileInputStream
(
File
file) Creates a FileInputStream by opening a connection to an actual file, the file named by the File object file in the file system. |
|
FileInputStream
(java.io.FileDescriptor fdObj)
Creates a FileInputStream by using the file descriptor fdObj, which represents an existing connection to an actual file in the file system. |
|
FileInputStream
(
String
name) Creates a FileInputStream by opening a connection to an actual file, the file named by the path name name in the file system. |
Method Summary | |
---|---|
int |
available
() Returns the number of bytes that can be read from this file input stream without blocking. |
void |
close
() Closes this file input stream and releases any system resources associated with the stream. |
protected void |
finalize
() Ensures that the close method of this file input stream is called when there are no more references to it. |
FileChannel |
getChannel
() Returns the unique FileChannel object associated with this file input stream. |
java.io.FileDescriptor
|
getFD
() Returns the FileDescriptor object that represents the connection to the actual file in the file system being used by this FileInputStream. |
int |
read
() Reads a byte of data from this input stream. |
int |
read
(byte[] b) Reads up to b.length bytes of data from this input stream into an array of bytes. |
int |
read
(byte[] b, int off, int len) Reads up to len bytes of data from this input stream into an array of bytes. |
long |
skip
(long n) Skips over and discards n bytes of data from the input stream. |

public FileInputStream(String name) throws FileNotFoundException
First, if there is a security manager, its checkRead method is called with the name argument as its argument.
If the named file does not exist, is a directory rather than a regular file, or for some other reason cannot be opened for reading then a FileNotFoundException is thrown.
public FileInputStream(File file) throws FileNotFoundException
First, if there is a security manager, its checkRead method is called with the path represented by the file argument as its argument.
If the named file does not exist, is a directory rather than a regular file, or for some other reason cannot be opened for reading then a FileNotFoundException is thrown.
public FileInputStream(java.io.FileDescriptor fdObj)(FileDescriptorfdObj)
If there is a security manager, its checkRead method is called with the file descriptor fdObj as its argument to see if it's ok to read the file descriptor. If read access is denied to the file descriptor a SecurityException is thrown.
If fdObj is null then a NullPointerException is thrown.

public int read() throws IOException
public int read(byte[] b) throws IOException
public int read(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException
public long skip(long n) throws IOException
The skip method may, for a variety of reasons, end up skipping over some smaller number of bytes, possibly 0. If n is negative, an IOException is thrown, even though the skip method of the InputStream superclass does nothing in this case. The actual number of bytes skipped is returned.
This method may skip more bytes than are remaining in the backing file. This produces no exception and the number of bytes skipped may include some number of bytes that were beyond the EOF of the backing file. Attempting to read from the stream after skipping past the end will result in -1 indicating the end of the file.
public int available() throws IOException
public void close() throws IOException
If this stream has an associated channel then the channel is closed as well.
public final java.io.FileDescriptorFileDescriptorgetFD() throws IOException
public FileChannel getChannel()
The initial position of the returned channel will be equal to the number of bytes read from the file so far. Reading bytes from this stream will increment the channel's position. Changing the channel's position, either explicitly or by reading, will change this stream's file position.
protected void finalize() throws IOException
