Method Summary

int	available()
void	close()
void	mark(int readlimit)
boolean	markSupported()
int	read() Read a single byte from the stream.
byte[]	read(int count) Read count bytes from the stream.
void	reset()

Method Detail

available

int available()
              throws RemoteException

Throws:

RemoteException

InputStream.available()

close

void close()
           throws RemoteException

Throws:

RemoteException

See Also:

InputStream.close()

mark

void mark(int readlimit)
          throws RemoteException

Throws:

RemoteException

See Also:

InputStream.mark(int)

markSupported

boolean markSupported()
                      throws RemoteException

Throws:

RemoteException

See Also:

InputStream.markSupported()

read

int read()
         throws RemoteException

Read a single byte from the stream. Returns -1 on EOF.

Throws:

RemoteException

See Also:

InputStream.read()

read

byte[] read(int count)
            throws RemoteException

Read count bytes from the stream. We can't have the same signature as InputStream.read(byte[], int, int) because if the array is an argument it won't be copied back to the client.

Parameters:

count - the maximum number of bytes to read.

Returns:

the data that was read or null if EOF reached.

Throws:

RemoteException

reset

void reset()
           throws RemoteException

Throws:

RemoteException

See Also:

InputStream.reset()

skip

long skip(long n)
          throws RemoteException

Throws:

RemoteException

InputStream.skip(long)
