open class FilterInputStream : InputStream
Known Direct Subclasses
Base64InputStream |
An InputStream that does Base64 decoding on the data read through it.
|
BufferedInputStream |
A BufferedInputStream adds functionality to another input stream-namely, the ability to buffer the input and to support the mark and reset methods.
|
CheckedInputStream |
An input stream that also maintains a checksum of the data being read.
|
CipherInputStream |
A CipherInputStream is composed of an InputStream and a Cipher so that read() methods return data that are read in from the underlying InputStream but have been additionally processed by the Cipher.
|
DataInputStream |
A data input stream lets an application read primitive Java data types from an underlying input stream in a machine-independent way.
|
DeflaterInputStream |
Implements an input stream filter for compressing data in the "deflate" compression format.
|
DigestInputStream |
A transparent stream that updates the associated message digest using the bits going through the stream.
|
InflaterInputStream |
This class implements a stream filter for uncompressing data in the "deflate" compression format.
|
LineNumberInputStream |
This class is an input stream filter that provides the added functionality of keeping track of the current line number.
|
PushbackInputStream |
A PushbackInputStream adds functionality to another input stream, namely the ability to "push back" or "unread" bytes, by storing pushed-back bytes in an internal buffer.

Known Indirect Subclasses
GZIPInputStream |
This class implements a stream filter for reading compressed data in the GZIP file format.
|
JarInputStream |
The JarInputStream class is used to read the contents of a JAR file from any input stream.

A FilterInputStream
contains 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 all methods of InputStream
with versions that pass all requests to the contained input stream. Subclasses of FilterInputStream
may further override some of these methods and may also provide additional methods and fields.

Inherited functions |
From class InputStream
InputStream! |
nullInputStream()
Returns a new InputStream that reads no bytes. The returned stream is initially open. The stream is closed by calling the close() method. Subsequent calls to close() have no effect.
While the stream is open, the available() , read() , read(byte[]) , read(byte[], int, int) , readAllBytes() , readNBytes(byte[], int, int) , readNBytes(int) , skip(long) , skipNBytes(long) , and transferTo() methods all behave as if end of stream has been reached. After the stream has been closed, these methods all throw IOException .
The markSupported() method returns false . The mark() method does nothing, and the reset() method throws IOException .
|
ByteArray! |
readAllBytes()
Reads all remaining bytes from the input stream. This method blocks until all remaining bytes have been read and end of stream is detected, or an exception is thrown. This method does not close the input stream.
When this stream reaches end of stream, further invocations of this method will return an empty byte array.
Note that this method is intended for simple cases where it is convenient to read all bytes into a byte array. It is not intended for reading input streams with large amounts of data.
The behavior for the case where the input stream is asynchronously closed, or the thread interrupted during the read, is highly input stream specific, and therefore not specified.
If an I/O error occurs reading from the input stream, then it may do so after some, but not all, bytes have been read. Consequently the input stream may not be at end of stream and may be in an inconsistent state. It is strongly recommended that the stream be promptly closed if an I/O error occurs.
|
ByteArray! |
readNBytes(len: Int)
Reads up to a specified number of bytes from the input stream. This method blocks until the requested number of bytes has been read, end of stream is detected, or an exception is thrown. This method does not close the input stream.
The length of the returned array equals the number of bytes read from the stream. If len is zero, then no bytes are read and an empty byte array is returned. Otherwise, up to len bytes are read from the stream. Fewer than len bytes may be read if end of stream is encountered.
When this stream reaches end of stream, further invocations of this method will return an empty byte array.
Note that this method is intended for simple cases where it is convenient to read the specified number of bytes into a byte array. The total amount of memory allocated by this method is proportional to the number of bytes read from the stream which is bounded by len . Therefore, the method may be safely called with very large values of len provided sufficient memory is available.
The behavior for the case where the input stream is asynchronously closed, or the thread interrupted during the read, is highly input stream specific, and therefore not specified.
If an I/O error occurs reading from the input stream, then it may do so after some, but not all, bytes have been read. Consequently the input stream may not be at end of stream and may be in an inconsistent state. It is strongly recommended that the stream be promptly closed if an I/O error occurs.
|
Int |
readNBytes(b: ByteArray!, off: Int, len: Int)
Reads the requested number of bytes from the input stream into the given byte array. This method blocks until len bytes of input data have been read, end of stream is detected, or an exception is thrown. The number of bytes actually read, possibly zero, is returned. This method does not close the input stream.
In the case where end of stream is reached before len bytes have been read, then the actual number of bytes read will be returned. When this stream reaches end of stream, further invocations of this method will return zero.
If len is zero, then no bytes are read and 0 is returned; otherwise, there is an attempt to read up to len bytes.
The first byte read is stored into element b[off] , the next one in to 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.
The behavior for the case where the input stream is asynchronously closed, or the thread interrupted during the read, is highly input stream specific, and therefore not specified.
If an I/O error occurs reading from the input stream, then it may do so after some, but not all, bytes of b have been updated with data from the input stream. Consequently the input stream and b may be in an inconsistent state. It is strongly recommended that the stream be promptly closed if an I/O error occurs.
|
Unit |
skipNBytes(n: Long)
Skips over and discards exactly n bytes of data from this input stream. If n is zero, then no bytes are skipped. If n is negative, then no bytes are skipped. Subclasses may handle the negative value differently.
This method blocks until the requested number of bytes has been skipped, end of file is reached, or an exception is thrown.
If end of stream is reached before the stream is at the desired position, then an EOFException is thrown.
If an I/O error occurs, then the input stream may be in an inconsistent state. It is strongly recommended that the stream be promptly closed if an I/O error occurs.
|
Long |
transferTo(out: OutputStream!)
Reads all bytes from this input stream and writes the bytes to the given output stream in the order that they are read. On return, this input stream will be at end of stream. This method does not close either stream.
This method may block indefinitely reading from the input stream, or writing to the output stream. The behavior for the case where the input and/or output stream is asynchronously closed, or the thread interrupted during the transfer, is highly input and output stream specific, and therefore not specified.
If an I/O error occurs reading from the input stream or writing to the output stream, then it may do so after some bytes have been read or written. Consequently the input stream may not be at end of stream and one, or both, streams may be in an inconsistent state. It is strongly recommended that both streams be promptly closed if an I/O error occurs.

Protected constructors
protected FilterInputStream(in: InputStream!)
Creates a FilterInputStream
by assigning the argument in
to the field this.in
so as to remember it for later use.
Parameters |
in |
InputStream!: the underlying input stream, or null if this instance is to be created without an underlying stream. |
Public methods
available
open fun available(): Int
Returns 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.
This method returns the result of in
.available().
Return |
Int |
an estimate of the number of bytes that can be read (or skipped over) from this input stream without blocking. |
Exceptions |
java.io.IOException |
if an I/O error occurs. |
java.io.IOException |
if an I/O error occurs. |
close
open fun close(): Unit
Closes this input stream and releases any system resources associated with the stream. This method simply performs in.close()
.
Exceptions |
java.lang.Exception |
if this resource cannot be closed |
java.io.IOException |
if an I/O error occurs. |
java.io.IOException |
if an I/O error occurs. |
mark
open fun mark(readlimit: Int): Unit
Marks the current position in this input stream. A subsequent call to the reset
method repositions this stream at the last marked position so that subsequent reads re-read the same bytes.
The readlimit
argument tells this input stream to allow that many bytes to be read before the mark position gets invalidated.
This method simply performs in.mark(readlimit)
.
Parameters |
readlimit |
Int: the maximum limit of bytes that can be read before the mark position becomes invalid. |
markSupported
open fun markSupported(): Boolean
Tests if this input stream supports the mark
and reset
methods. This method simply performs in.markSupported()
.
Return |
Boolean |
true if this stream type supports the mark and reset method; false otherwise. |
read
open fun read(): Int
Reads the next byte of data from this input stream. The value byte is returned as an int
in the range 0
to 255
. If no byte is available because the end of the stream has been reached, the value -1
is returned. This method blocks until input data is available, the end of the stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.
This method simply performs in.read()
and returns the result.
Return |
Int |
the next byte of data, or -1 if the end of the stream is reached. |
Exceptions |
java.io.IOException |
if an I/O error occurs. |
java.io.IOException |
if an I/O error occurs. |
read
open fun read(b: ByteArray!): Int
Reads up to b.length
bytes of data from this input stream into an array of bytes. This method blocks until some input is available.
This method simply performs the call read(b, 0, b.length)
and returns the result. It is important that it does not do in.read(b)
instead; certain subclasses of FilterInputStream
depend on the implementation strategy actually used.
Parameters |
b |
ByteArray!: the buffer into which the data is read. |
Return |
Int |
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. |
Exceptions |
java.io.IOException |
If the first byte cannot be read for any reason other than the end of the file, if the input stream has been closed, or if some other I/O error occurs. |
java.lang.NullPointerException |
if b is null . |
java.io.IOException |
if an I/O error occurs. |
read
open fun read(
b: ByteArray!,
off: Int,
len: Int
): Int
Reads up to len
bytes of data from this input stream into an array of bytes. If len
is not zero, the method blocks until some input is available; otherwise, no bytes are read and 0
is returned.
This method simply performs in.read(b, off, len)
and returns the result.
Parameters |
b |
ByteArray!: the buffer into which the data is read. |
off |
Int: the start offset in the destination array b |
len |
Int: the maximum number of bytes read. |
Return |
Int |
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. |
Exceptions |
java.io.IOException |
If the first byte cannot be read for any reason other than end of file, or if the input stream has been closed, or if some other I/O error occurs. |
java.lang.NullPointerException |
If b is null . |
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException |
If off is negative, len is negative, or len is greater than b.length - off |
java.lang.NullPointerException |
If b is null . |
java.lang.IndexOutOfBoundsException |
If off is negative, len is negative, or len is greater than b.length - off |
java.io.IOException |
if an I/O error occurs. |
reset
open fun reset(): Unit
Repositions this stream to the position at the time the mark
method was last called on this input stream.
This method simply performs in.reset()
.
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.
Exceptions |
java.io.IOException |
if this stream has not been marked or if the mark has been invalidated. |
java.io.IOException |
if the stream has not been marked or if the mark has been invalidated. |
skip
open fun skip(n: Long): Long
Skips over and discards n
bytes of data from the input stream. The skip
method may, for a variety of reasons, end up skipping over some smaller number of bytes, possibly 0
. The actual number of bytes skipped is returned.
This method simply performs in.skip(n)
.
Parameters |
n |
Long: the number of bytes to be skipped. |
Return |
Long |
the actual number of bytes skipped. |
Exceptions |
java.io.IOException |
if in.skip(n) throws an IOException. |
