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. The next invocation might be the same thread or another thread. A single read or skip of this many bytes will not block, but may read or skip fewer bytes.Note that while some implementations of
InputStream
will return the total number of bytes in the stream, many will not. It is never correct to use the return value of this method to allocate a buffer intended to hold all data in this stream.A subclass' implementation of this method may choose to throw an
IOException
if this input stream has been closed by invoking theInputStream.close()
method.The default implementation of this method in
NonBlockingInputStream
throws anUnsupportedOperationException
. This method must be overridden by subclasses. The overriding implementations must guarantee non-blocking behavior of the method. The overriding implementation must also guarantee that a non-empty stream does not return zero from the method. IOW, it must be possible to use the method for empty check:stream.available() == 0
- Overrides:
available
in classInputStream
- Returns:
- an estimate of the number of bytes that can be read (or skipped
over) from this input stream without blocking or
0
when it reaches the end of the input stream or the stream is empty. - Throws:
IOException
- if an I/O error occurs.
-
tryRead
Behaves mostly likeInputStream.read()
. The main difference is that this method is non-blocking. In case there are no data available to be read, the method returnsNOTHING
immediately.- Returns:
- next byte of data,
-1
if end of the stream has been reached orNOTHING
in case no data are available to be read at the moment. - Throws:
IOException
- if an I/O error occurs.
-
tryRead
Behaves mostly likeInputStream.read(byte[])
. The main difference is that this method is non-blocking. In case there are no data available to be read, the method returns zero immediately.- Parameters:
b
- the buffer into which the data is read.- Returns:
- the total number of bytes read into the buffer or
-1
if end of the stream has been reached or0
in case no data are available to be read at the moment. - Throws:
IOException
- if an I/O error occurs.
-
tryRead
Behaves mostly likeInputStream.read(byte[], int, int)
. The main difference is that this method is non-blocking. In case there are no data available to be read, the method returns zero immediately.- Parameters:
b
- the buffer into which the data is read.off
- the start offset in arrayb
at which the data is written.len
- the maximum number of bytes to read.- Returns:
- the total number of bytes read into the buffer or
-1
if end of the stream has been reached or0
in case no data are available to be read at the moment. - Throws:
IOException
- if an I/O error occurs.
