The methods of the InputStream class are listed below. For a complete list of InputStream class members, see the InputStream Members topic.
Public Instance Methods
 Clone | |
| Close | Closes the stream to futher operations. |
| Equals (inherited from Object) | Determines whether the specified Object is equal to the current Object. |
| GetFilePointer | Returns the current position in this file, where the next read will occur. |
| GetHashCode (inherited from Object) | Serves as a hash function for a particular type, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table. |
| GetType (inherited from Object) | Gets the Type of the current instance. |
| Length | The number of bytes in the file. |
| ReadByte | Reads and returns a single byte. |
| ReadBytes | Reads a specified number of bytes into an array at the specified offset. |
| ReadChars | Reads UTF-8 encoded characters into an array. |
| ReadInt | Reads four bytes and returns an int. |
| ReadInternal | Expert: implements buffer refill. Reads bytes from the current position in the input. |
| ReadLong | Reads eight bytes and returns a long. |
| ReadString | Reads a string. |
| ReadVInt | Reads an int stored in variable-length format. Reads between one and five bytes. Smaller values take fewer bytes. Negative numbers are not supported. |
| ReadVLong | Reads a long stored in variable-length format. Reads between one and nine bytes. Smaller values take fewer bytes. Negative numbers are not supported. |
| Seek | Sets current position in this file, where the next read will occur. |
| SeekInternal | Expert: implements seek. Sets current position in this file, where the next {@link #ReadInternal(byte[],int,int)} will occur. |
| ToString (inherited from Object) | Returns a String that represents the current Object. |
Protected Instance Methods
 Finalize (inherited from Object) | Allows an Object to attempt to free resources and perform other cleanup operations before the Object is reclaimed by garbage collection. |
| MemberwiseClone (inherited from Object) | Creates a shallow copy of the current Object. |
