available
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
InputStreamwill 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
IOExceptionif this input stream has been closed by invoking theInputStream.close()method.The default implementation of this method in
NonBlockingInputStreamthrows 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:
availablein classInputStream- Returns:
- an estimate of the number of bytes that can be read (or skipped
over) from this input stream without blocking or
0when 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 returnsNOTHINGimmediately.- Returns:
- next byte of data,
-1if end of the stream has been reached orNOTHINGin 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
-1if end of the stream has been reached or0in 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 arraybat which the data is written.len- the maximum number of bytes to read.- Returns:
- the total number of bytes read into the buffer or
-1if end of the stream has been reached or0in case no data are available to be read at the moment. - Throws:
IOException- if an I/O error occurs.
