Method Detail

toRandomStream

public static RandomStream toRandomStream(int nativeStream,
                                          String mode)

hashCode

public int hashCode()

Description copied from class: Object

Returns a hashCode for the object. The general contract of hashCode is:

An object must return the same hash code for its entire existence. If two objects are considered equal by the equals() method, they should return the same hash code. Not all Objects will do this and you should only use hashCode() from Objects which declare an overrided version of hashCode(). The only Objects which provide consistent and correct hash codes under Ewe are Object, String and Class.

Overrides:

hashCode in class InputStream

read

public int read()
         throws IOException

Description copied from class: InputStream

This method reads an unsigned byte from the input stream and returns it as an int in the range of 0-255. This method also will return -1 if the end of the stream has been reached.

This method will block until the byte can be read.

Overrides:

read in class InputStream

Returns:

The byte read or -1 if end of stream

Throws:

IOException - If an error occurs

read

public int read(byte[] data,
                int offset,
                int count)
         throws IOException

Description copied from class: InputStream

This method read bytes from a stream and stores them into a caller supplied buffer. It starts storing the data at index off into the buffer and attempts to read len bytes. This method can return before reading the number of bytes requested. The actual number of bytes read is returned as an int. A -1 is returned to indicate the end of the stream.

This method will block until some data can be read.

This method operates by calling the single byte read() method in a loop until the desired number of bytes are read. The read loop stops short if the end of the stream is encountered or if an IOException is encountered on any read operation except the first. If the first attempt to read a bytes fails, the IOException is allowed to propagate upward. And subsequent IOException is caught and treated identically to an end of stream condition. Subclasses can (and should if possible) override this method to provide a more efficient implementation.

Overrides:

read in class InputStream

Parameters:

data - The array into which the bytes read should be stored

offset - The offset into the array to start storing bytes

count - The requested number of bytes to read

Returns:

The actual number of bytes read, or -1 if end of stream.

Throws:

IOException - If an error occurs.

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Description copied from class: InputStream

This method closes the stream. Any futher attempts to read from the stream may generate an IOException

This method does nothing in this class, but subclasses may override this method in order to provide additional functionality.

Overrides:

close in class InputStream

Throws:

IOException - If an error occurs, which can only happen in a subclass

skip

public long skip(long n)
          throws IOException

Description copied from class: InputStream

This method skips the specified number of bytes in the stream. It returns the actual number of bytes skipped, which may be less than the requested amount.

This method reads and discards bytes into a byte array until the specified number of bytes were skipped or until either the end of stream is reached or a read attempt returns a short count. Subclasses can override this metho to provide a more efficient implementation where one exists.

Overrides:

skip in class RandomStream

Parameters:

n - The requested number of bytes to skip

Returns:

The actual number of bytes skipped.

Throws:

IOException - If an error occurs

finalize

protected void finalize()

Description copied from class: Object

This method (when overriden), will be called when the VM determines that the Object can be garbage collected. Any action can be taken by the finalize() method, including making the Object available to other Threads (which would stop the garbage collection of the Object).

The finalize() method of a Class is only called if it overrides finalize() - the finalize() method java.lang.Object is never called by the Eve VM.

Overrides:

finalize in class InputStream

getLength

public long getLength()
               throws IOException

Description copied from class: RandomStream

Return the full length of the Stream.

Overrides:

getLength in class RandomStream

Throws:

IOException - if an IO error occured.

setLength

public void setLength(long length)
               throws IOException

Description copied from class: RandomStream

Attempt to set the length of the stream if this is supported. This will truncate the stream or extend the stream to the requested length.

Overrides:

setLength in class RandomStream

Throws:

IOException - if the length cannot be set or if there was an error.

getPosition

public long getPosition()
                 throws IOException

Description copied from class: RandomStream

Return the current read/write stream pointer.

Overrides:

getPosition in class RandomStream

Throws:

IOException - on error.

setPosition

public void setPosition(long newPosition)
                 throws IOException

Description copied from class: RandomStream

Set the Stream position. This position actually set may be different if, say, the requested position is greater than the actual size of the Stream.

Overrides:

setPosition in class RandomStream

Parameters:

newPosition - the new position to set.

Throws:

IOException - on error.

write

public void write(int b)
           throws IOException

Description copied from class: RandomStream

This method writes a single byte to the output stream. The byte written is the low eight bits of the int passed as the argument.

Subclasses must provide an implementation of this method.

Overrides:

write in class RandomStream

Parameters:

b - The byte to be written to the output stream, passed as the low eight bits of an int

Throws:

IOException - If an error occurs

write

public void write(byte[] data,
                  int offset,
                  int count)
           throws IOException,
                  NullPointerException,
                  IndexOutOfBoundsException

Description copied from class: RandomStream

This method writes len bytes from the specified array b starting at index off into the array.

This method in this class calls the single byte write() method in a loop until all bytes have been written. Subclasses should override this method if possible in order to provide a more efficent implementation.

Overrides:

write in class RandomStream

Parameters:

data - The array of bytes to write from

offset - The index into the array to start writing from

count - The number of bytes to write

Throws:

IOException - If an error occurs

NullPointerException

IndexOutOfBoundsException

flush

public void flush()
           throws IOException

Description copied from class: RandomStream

This method forces any data that may have been buffered to be written to the underlying output device. Please note that the host environment might perform its own buffering unbeknowst to Java. In that case, a write made (for example, to a disk drive) might be cached in OS buffers instead of actually being written to disk.

This method in this class does nothing.

Overrides:

flush in class RandomStream

Throws:

IOException - If an error occurs

throwCantWrite

protected void throwCantWrite()
                       throws IOException

Description copied from class: RandomStream

Throw an IOException indicating that you cannot write to this RandomStream.

Overrides:

throwCantWrite in class RandomStream

Throws:

IOException - always thrown.
