A 
FilterInputStream wraps some other input stream, which it uses as
 its basic source of data, possibly transforming the data along the way or
 providing additional functionality. The class FilterInputStream
 itself simply overrides select methods of InputStream with versions
 that pass all requests to the wrapped input stream. Subclasses of
 FilterInputStream may of course override any methods declared or
 inherited by FilterInputStream, and may also provide additional
 fields and methods.- Since:

FilterInputStreamCreates aFilterInputStreamby assigning the argumentinto the fieldthis.inso as to remember it for later use.- Parameters:
- in- the underlying input stream, or- nullif this instance is to be created without an underlying stream.

Method Details- 
readReads the next byte of data from the input stream. The value byte is returned as anintin the range0to255. If no byte is available because the end of the stream has been reached, the value-1is returned. This method blocks until input data is available, the end of the stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.- Specified by:
- readin class- InputStream
- Implementation Requirements:
- This method simply performs in.read()and returns the result.
- Returns:
- the next byte of data, or -1if the end of the stream is reached.
- Throws:
- IOException- if an I/O error occurs.
- See Also:
 
- 
readReads up tob.lengthbytes of data from this input stream into an array of bytes. This method blocks until some input is available.- Overrides:
- readin class- InputStream
- Implementation Requirements:
- This method simply performs the call
 read(b, 0, b.length)and returns the result. It is important that it does not doin.read(b)instead; certain subclasses ofFilterInputStreamdepend on the implementation strategy actually used.
- Parameters:
- b- the buffer into which the data is read.
- Returns:
- the total number of bytes read into the buffer, or
             -1if there is no more data because the end of the stream has been reached.
- Throws:
- IOException- if an I/O error occurs.
- See Also:
 
- 
readReads up tolenbytes of data from this input stream into an array of bytes. Iflenis not zero, the method blocks until some input is available; otherwise, no bytes are read and0is returned.- Overrides:
- readin class- InputStream
- Implementation Requirements:
- This method simply performs in.read(b, off, len)and returns the result.
- Parameters:
- b- the buffer into which the data is read.
- off- the start offset in array- bat which the data is written.
- len- the maximum number of bytes to read.
- Returns:
- the total number of bytes read into the buffer, or
             -1if there is no more data because the end of the stream has been reached.
- Throws:
- NullPointerException- If- bis- null.
- IndexOutOfBoundsException- If- offis negative,- lenis negative, or- lenis greater than- b.length - off
- IOException- if an I/O error occurs.
- See Also:
 
- 
skipSkips over and discardsnbytes of data from the input stream. Theskipmethod may, for a variety of reasons, end up skipping over some smaller number of bytes, possibly0. The actual number of bytes skipped is returned.- Overrides:
- skipin class- InputStream
- Implementation Requirements:
- This method simply performs in.skip(n)and returns the result.
- Parameters:
- n- the number of bytes to be skipped.
- Returns:
- the actual number of bytes skipped.
- Throws:
- IOException- if- in.skip(n)throws an IOException.
- See Also:
 
- 
availableReturns an estimate of the number of bytes that can be read (or skipped over) from this input stream without blocking by the next caller of a method for this input stream. The next caller might be the same thread or another thread. A single read or skip of this many bytes will not block, but may read or skip fewer bytes.- Overrides:
- availablein class- InputStream
- Implementation Requirements:
- This method returns the result of in.available().
- Returns:
- an estimate of the number of bytes that can be read (or skipped over) from this input stream without blocking.
- Throws:
- IOException- if an I/O error occurs.
 
- 
closeCloses this input stream and releases any system resources associated with the stream.- Specified by:
- closein interface- AutoCloseable
- Specified by:
- closein interface- Closeable
- Overrides:
- closein class- InputStream
- Implementation Requirements:
- This method simply performs in.close().
- Throws:
- IOException- if an I/O error occurs.
- See Also:
 
- 
markpublic void mark(int readlimit) Marks the current position in this input stream. A subsequent call to theresetmethod repositions this stream at the last marked position so that subsequent reads re-read the same bytes.The readlimitargument tells this input stream to allow that many bytes to be read before the mark position gets invalidated.- Overrides:
- markin class- InputStream
- Implementation Requirements:
- This method simply performs in.mark(readlimit).
- Parameters:
- readlimit- the maximum limit of bytes that can be read before the mark position becomes invalid.
- See Also:
 
- 
resetRepositions this stream to the position at the time themarkmethod was last called on this input stream.Stream marks are intended to be used in situations where you need to read ahead a little to see what's in the stream. Often this is most easily done by invoking some general parser. If the stream is of the type handled by the parse, it just chugs along happily. If the stream is not of that type, the parser should toss an exception when it fails. If this happens within readlimit bytes, it allows the outer code to reset the stream and try another parser. - Overrides:
- resetin class- InputStream
- Implementation Requirements:
- This method simply performs in.reset().
- Throws:
- IOException- if this stream has not been marked or if the mark has been invalidated.
- See Also:
 
- 
markSupportedpublic boolean markSupported()Tests if this input stream supports themarkandresetmethods.- Overrides:
- markSupportedin class- InputStream
- Implementation Requirements:
- This method simply performs in.markSupported().
- Returns:
- trueif this stream type supports the- markand- resetmethod;- falseotherwise.
