PushbackInputStream

public class PushbackInputStream extends FilterInputStream
A PushbackInputStream adds functionality to another input stream, namely the ability to "push back" or "unread" one byte. This is useful in situations where it is convenient for a fragment of code to read an indefinite number of data bytes that are delimited by a particular byte value; after reading the terminating byte, the code fragment can "unread" it, so that the next read operation on the input stream will reread the byte that was pushed back. For example, bytes representing the characters constituting an identifier might be terminated by a byte representing an operator character; a method whose job is to read just an identifier can read until it sees the operator and then push the operator back to be re-read.

Fields Summary
protected byte[]
buf
The pushback buffer.
protected int
pos
The position within the pushback buffer from which the next byte will be read. When the buffer is empty, pos is equal to buf.length; when the buffer is full, pos is equal to zero.
Constructors Summary
public PushbackInputStream(InputStream in, int size)
Creates a PushbackInputStream with a pushback buffer of the specified size, and saves its argument, the input stream in, for later use. Initially, there is no pushed-back byte (the field pushBack is initialized to -1).

param
in the input stream from which bytes will be read.
param
size the size of the pushback buffer.
exception
IllegalArgumentException if size is <= 0
since
JDK1.1

	super(in);
        if (size <= 0) {
            throw new IllegalArgumentException("size <= 0");
        }
	this.buf = new byte[size];
	this.pos = size;
    
public PushbackInputStream(InputStream in)
Creates a PushbackInputStream and saves its argument, the input stream in, for later use. Initially, there is no pushed-back byte (the field pushBack is initialized to -1).

param
in the input stream from which bytes will be read.

	this(in, 1);
    
Methods Summary
public intavailable()
Returns the number of bytes that can be read from this input stream without blocking. This method calls the available method of the underlying input stream; it returns that value plus the number of bytes that have been pushed back.

return
the number of bytes that can be read from the input stream without blocking.
exception
IOException if an I/O error occurs.
see
java.io.FilterInputStream#in
see
java.io.InputStream#available()

        ensureOpen();
	return (buf.length - pos) + super.available();
    
public synchronized voidclose()
Closes this input stream and releases any system resources associated with the stream.

exception
IOException if an I/O error occurs.

        if (in == null)
            return;
        in.close();
        in = null;
        buf = null;
    
private voidensureOpen()
Check to make sure that this stream has not been closed

	if (in == null)
	    throw new IOException("Stream closed");
    
public synchronized voidmark(int readlimit)
Marks the current position in this input stream.

The mark method of PushbackInputStream does nothing.

param
readlimit the maximum limit of bytes that can be read before the mark position becomes invalid.
see
java.io.InputStream#reset()

    
public booleanmarkSupported()
Tests if this input stream supports the mark and reset methods, which it does not.

return
false, since this class does not support the mark and reset methods.
see
java.io.InputStream#mark(int)
see
java.io.InputStream#reset()

	return false;
    
public intread()
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 returns the most recently pushed-back byte, if there is one, and otherwise calls the read method of its underlying input stream and returns whatever value that method returns.

return
the next byte of data, or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached.
exception
IOException if an I/O error occurs.
see
java.io.InputStream#read()

        ensureOpen();
	if (pos < buf.length) {
	    return buf[pos++] & 0xff;
	}
	return super.read();
    
public intread(byte[] b, int off, int len)
Reads up to len bytes of data from this input stream into an array of bytes. This method first reads any pushed-back bytes; after that, if fewer than len bytes have been read then it reads from the underlying input stream. This method blocks until at least 1 byte of input is available.

param
b the buffer into which the data is read.
param
off the start offset of the data.
param
len the maximum number of bytes read.
return
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.
exception
IOException if an I/O error occurs.
see
java.io.InputStream#read(byte[], int, int)

        ensureOpen();
        if ((off < 0) || (off > b.length) || (len < 0) ||
            ((off + len) > b.length) || ((off + len) < 0)) {
            throw new IndexOutOfBoundsException();
        }

	if (len == 0) {
	    return 0;
	}

	int avail = buf.length - pos;
	if (avail > 0) {
	    if (len < avail) {
		avail = len;
	    }
	    System.arraycopy(buf, pos, b, off, avail);
	    pos += avail;
	    off += avail;
	    len -= avail;
	}
	if (len > 0) {
	    len = super.read(b, off, len);
	    if (len == -1) {
		return avail == 0 ? -1 : avail;
	    }
	    return avail + len;
	}
	return avail;
    
public synchronized voidreset()
Repositions this stream to the position at the time the mark method was last called on this input stream.

The method reset for class PushbackInputStream does nothing except throw an IOException.

exception
IOException if this method is invoked.
see
java.io.InputStream#mark(int)
see
java.io.IOException

        throw new IOException("mark/reset not supported");
    
public longskip(long n)
Skips over and discards n bytes of data from this input stream. The skip method may, for a variety of reasons, end up skipping over some smaller number of bytes, possibly zero. If n is negative, no bytes are skipped.

The skip method of PushbackInputStream first skips over the bytes in the pushback buffer, if any. It then calls the skip method of the underlying input stream if more bytes need to be skipped. The actual number of bytes skipped is returned.

param
n the number of bytes to be skipped.
return
the actual number of bytes skipped.
exception
IOException if an I/O error occurs.

	    if (n < pskip) {
		pskip = n;
	    }
	    pos += pskip;
	    n -= pskip;
	}
	if (n > 0) {
	    pskip += super.skip(n);
	}
	return pskip;
    
public voidunread(int b)
Pushes back a byte by copying it to the front of the pushback buffer. After this method returns, the next byte to be read will have the value (byte)b.

param
b the int value whose low-order byte is to be pushed back.
exception
IOException If there is not enough room in the pushback buffer for the byte.

        ensureOpen();
	if (pos == 0) {
	    throw new IOException("Push back buffer is full");
	}
	buf[--pos] = (byte)b;
    
public voidunread(byte[] b, int off, int len)
Pushes back a portion of an array of bytes by copying it to the front of the pushback buffer. After this method returns, the next byte to be read will have the value b[off], the byte after that will have the value b[off+1], and so forth.

param
b the byte array to push back.
param
off the start offset of the data.
param
len the number of bytes to push back.
exception
IOException If there is not enough room in the pushback buffer for the specified number of bytes.

        ensureOpen();
	if (len > pos) {
	    throw new IOException("Push back buffer is full");
	}
	pos -= len;
	System.arraycopy(b, off, buf, pos, len);
    
public voidunread(byte[] b)
Pushes back an array of bytes by copying it to the front of the pushback buffer. After this method returns, the next byte to be read will have the value b[0], the byte after that will have the value b[1], and so forth.

param
b the byte array to push back
exception
IOException If there is not enough room in the pushback buffer for the specified number of bytes.
