Class StringBufferInputStream

Deprecated.

This class does not properly convert characters into bytes. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to create a stream from a string is via the StringReader class.

@Deprecated
public class StringBufferInputStream
extends InputStream

This class allows an application to create an input stream in which the bytes read are supplied by the contents of a string. Applications can also read bytes from a byte array by using a ByteArrayInputStream.

Only the low eight bits of each character in the string are used by this class.

Fields

buffer

protected String buffer

Deprecated.

The string from which bytes are read.

pos

protected int pos

Deprecated.

The index of the next character to read from the input stream buffer.

See Also:

buffer

count

protected int count

Deprecated.

The number of valid characters in the input stream buffer.

Constructors

StringBufferInputStream

public StringBufferInputStream(String s)

Deprecated.

Creates a string input stream to read data from the specified string.

Parameters:

s - the underlying input buffer.

Methods

read

public int read()

Deprecated.

Specified by:

read in class InputStream

Returns:

the next byte of data, or -1 if the end of the stream is reached.

read

public int read(byte[] b,
                int off,
                int len)

Deprecated.

Overrides:

read in class InputStream

Parameters:

b - the buffer into which the data is read.

off - the start offset of the data.

len - the maximum number of bytes read.

Returns:

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.

See Also:

InputStream.read()

skip

public long skip(long n)

Deprecated.

Skips n bytes of input from this input stream. Fewer bytes might be skipped if the end of the input stream is reached.

Overrides:

skip in class InputStream

Parameters:

n - the number of bytes to be skipped.

Returns:

the actual number of bytes skipped.

available

public int available()

Deprecated.

Returns the number of bytes that can be read from the input stream without blocking.

Overrides:

available in class InputStream

Returns:

the value of count - pos, which is the number of bytes remaining to be read from the input buffer.

reset

public void reset()

Deprecated.

Resets the input stream to begin reading from the first character of this input stream's underlying buffer.

Overrides:

reset in class InputStream
