public class PushbackInputStream extends FilterInputStream
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. 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.Modifier and Type | Field | Description |

Modifier and Type | Method | Description |
---|---|---|
int |
available() |
Returns an estimate of the number of bytes that can be read (or skipped over) from this input stream without blocking by the next invocation of a method for this input stream. |
void |
close() |
Closes this input stream and releases any system resources associated with the stream. |
void |
mark |
Marks the current position in this input stream. |
boolean |
markSupported() |
Tests if this input stream supports the mark and reset methods, which it does not. |
int |
read() |
Reads the next byte of data from this input stream. |
int |
read |
Reads up to len bytes of data from this input stream into an array of bytes. |
void |
reset() |
Repositions this stream to the position at the time the mark method was last called on this input stream. |
long |
skip |
Skips over and discards n bytes of data from this input stream. |
void |
unread |
Pushes back an array of bytes by copying it to the front of the pushback buffer. |
void |
unread |
Pushes back a portion of an array of bytes by copying it to the front of the pushback buffer. |
void |
unread |
Pushes back a byte by copying it to the front of the pushback buffer. |

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.

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.
