Class MultipleInputStream

java.lang.Object
  java.io.InputStream
      it.unimi.dsi.io.MultipleInputStream

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable

public class MultipleInputStream
extends InputStream

A multiple input stream.

Instances of this class encapsulate a sequence of input streams. When one of the streams is exhausted, the multiple stream behaves as if on an end of file. However, after calling reset() the stream is again readable, and positioned at the start of the following stream.

Method Summary

int	available()
void	close()
static InputStream	getStream(InputStream[] inputStream) Returns an input stream encapsulating a nonempty array of input streams.
static InputStream	getStream(InputStream[] inputStream, int offset, int length) Returns an input stream encapsulating a nonempty fragment of an array of input streams.
boolean	markSupported()
int	read()
int	read(byte[] b)
int	read(byte[] b, int off, int len)
void	reset()
long	skip(long n)

Method Detail

getStream

public static InputStream getStream(InputStream[] inputStream,
                                    int offset,
                                    int length)

Returns an input stream encapsulating a nonempty fragment of an array of input streams.

Parameters:

inputStream - an array of input streams, that will be encapsulated.

offset - the first input stream that will be encapsulated.

length - the number of input streams to be encapsulated.

Returns:

an input stream encapsulating the argument streams (the only argument, if length is 1).

getStream

public static InputStream getStream(InputStream[] inputStream)

Returns an input stream encapsulating a nonempty array of input streams.

Note that if inputStream.length is 1 this method will return the only stream that should be encapsulated.

Parameters:

inputStream - an array of input streams, that will be encapsulated.

Returns:

an input stream encapsulating the argument streams (the only argument, if the length is 1).
