Class FromNetASCIIInputStream

All Implemented Interfaces:
Closeable, AutoCloseable

public final class FromNetASCIIInputStream extends PushbackInputStream
This class wraps an input stream, replacing all occurrences of <CR><LF> (carriage return followed by a linefeed), which is the NETASCII standard for representing a newline, with the local line separator representation. You would use this class to implement ASCII file transfers requiring conversion from NETASCII.

    Modifier and Type
    Method
    Description
    int
    Returns the number of bytes that can be read without blocking EXCEPT when newline conversions have to be made somewhere within the available block of bytes.
    static boolean
    Returns true if the NetASCII line separator differs from the system line separator, false if they are the same.
    int
    Reads and returns the next byte in the stream.
    int
    read(byte[] buffer)
    Reads the next number of bytes from the stream into an array and returns the number of bytes read.
    int
    read(byte[] buffer, int offset, int length)
    Reads the next number of bytes from the stream into an array and returns the number of bytes read.

    • FromNetASCIIInputStream

      Creates a FromNetASCIIInputStream instance that wraps an existing InputStream.
      Parameters:
      input - the stream to wrap
  • Method Details

    • isConversionRequired

      public static boolean isConversionRequired()
      Returns true if the NetASCII line separator differs from the system line separator, false if they are the same. This method is useful to determine whether or not you need to instantiate a FromNetASCIIInputStream object.
      Returns:
      True if the NETASCII line separator differs from the local system line separator, false if they are the same.
    • available

      public int available() throws IOException
      Returns the number of bytes that can be read without blocking EXCEPT when newline conversions have to be made somewhere within the available block of bytes. In other words, you really should not rely on the value returned by this method if you are trying to avoid blocking.
      Overrides:
      available in class PushbackInputStream
      Throws:
      IOException
    • read

      public int read() throws IOException
      Reads and returns the next byte in the stream. If the end of the message has been reached, returns -1. Note that a call to this method may result in multiple reads from the underlying input stream in order to convert NETASCII line separators to the local line separator format. This is transparent to the programmer and is only mentioned for completeness.
      Overrides:
      read in class PushbackInputStream
      Returns:
      The next character in the stream. Returns -1 if the end of the stream has been reached.
      Throws:
      IOException - If an error occurs while reading the underlying stream.
    • read

      public int read(byte[] buffer) throws IOException
      Reads the next number of bytes from the stream into an array and returns the number of bytes read. Returns -1 if the end of the stream has been reached.
      Overrides:
      read in class FilterInputStream
      Parameters:
      buffer - The byte array in which to store the data.
      Returns:
      The number of bytes read. Returns -1 if the end of the message has been reached.
      Throws:
      IOException - If an error occurs in reading the underlying stream.
    • read

      public int read(byte[] buffer, int offset, int length) throws IOException
      Reads the next number of bytes from the stream into an array and returns the number of bytes read. Returns -1 if the end of the message has been reached. The characters are stored in the array starting from the given offset and up to the length specified.
      Overrides:
      read in class PushbackInputStream
      Parameters:
      buffer - The byte array in which to store the data.
      offset - The offset into the array at which to start storing data.
      length - The number of bytes to read.
      Returns:
      The number of bytes read. Returns -1 if the end of the stream has been reached.
      Throws:
      IOException - If an error occurs while reading the underlying stream.
