Class InputStreamReader

    java.lang.Object
      java.io.Reader
          java.io.InputStreamReader

    public class InputStreamReader

extends Reader

An InputStreamReader is a bridge from byte streams to character streams: It reads bytes and translates them into characters. The encoding that it uses may be specified by name, or the platform's default encoding may be accepted.

Each invocation of one of an InputStreamReader's read() methods may cause one or more bytes to be read from the underlying byte input stream. To enable the efficient conversion of bytes to characters, more bytes may be read ahead from the underlying stream than are necessary to satisfy the current read operation.

Constructor Detail

### InputStreamReader

    public InputStreamReader(InputStream is)

  Create an InputStreamReader that uses the default character encoding.

  Parameters:
    `is` - An InputStream

### InputStreamReader

    public InputStreamReader(InputStream is,
                             String enc)
                      throws UnsupportedEncodingException

  Create an InputStreamReader that uses the named character encoding.

  Parameters:
    `is` - An InputStream
    `enc` - The name of a supported character encoding
  Throws:
    `UnsupportedEncodingException` - If the named encoding is not supported

Method Detail

### read

    public int read()
             throws IOException

  Read a single character.

  Overrides:
    `read` in class `Reader`
  Returns:
    The character read, 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,
                    int off,
                    int len)
             throws IOException

  Read characters into a portion of an array.

  Specified by:
    `read` in class `Reader`
  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

  Skip characters.

  Overrides:
    `skip` in class `Reader`
  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

  Tell whether this stream is ready to be read.

  Overrides:
    `ready` in class `Reader`
  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()

  Tell whether this stream supports the mark() operation.

  Overrides:
    `markSupported` in class `Reader`
  Returns:
    true if and only if this stream supports the mark operation.

### mark

    public void mark(int readAheadLimit)
              throws IOException

  Mark the present position in the stream.

  Overrides:
    `mark` in class `Reader`
  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

  Reset the stream.

  Overrides:
    `reset` in class `Reader`
  Throws:
    `IOException` - If an I/O error occurs

### close

    public void close()
               throws IOException

  Close the stream. Closing a previously closed stream has no effect.

  Specified by:
    `close` in class `Reader`
  Throws:
    `IOException` - If an I/O error occurs
