- byte readByte() : Reads and returns one input byte.
Syntax:public final byte readByte() throws IOException Returns: the next byte of this input stream as a signed 8-bit byte. Throws: EOFException IOException - float readFloat() : Reads four input bytes and returns a float value.
Syntax:public final float readFloat() throws IOException Returns :the next four bytes of this input stream, interpreted as a float. Throws: EOFException IOException - void readFully(byte[] b) : Reads some bytes from an input stream and stores them into the buffer array b.
Syntax:public final void readFully(byte[] b) throws IOException Parameters: b - the buffer into which the data is read. Throws: EOFException IOException - void readFully(byte[] b, int off, int len) : Reads len bytes from an input stream.
Syntax:public final void readFully(byte[] b, int off, int len) throws IOException Parameters: b - the buffer into which the data is read. off - the start offset of the data. len - the number of bytes to read. Throws: EOFException IOException - String readLine() : Reads the next line of text from the input stream.
Syntax: Returns: the next line of text from this input stream. Throws: IOException Deprecated This method does not properly convert bytes to characters.
- long readLong() : Reads eight input bytes and returns a long value.
Syntax:public final long readLong() throws IOException Returns: the next eight bytes of this input stream, interpreted as a long. Throws: EOFException IOException - short readShort() : Reads two input bytes and returns a short value.
Syntax:public final short readShort() throws IOException Returns: the next two bytes of this input stream, interpreted as a signed 16-bit number. Throws: EOFException IOException - String readUTF() : Reads a string that has been encoded using a modified UTF-8 format.
Syntax:public final String readUTF() throws IOException Returns: a Unicode string. Throws: EOFException IOException UTFDataFormatException - int skipBytes(int n) : Makes an attempt to skip over n bytes of data from the input stream, discarding the skipped bytes.
Syntax:public final int skipBytes(int n) throws IOException Parameters: n - the number of bytes to be skipped. Returns: the actual number of bytes skipped. Throws: IOException
