public interface ByteArrayDataInput extends DataInput
DataInput for reading from in-memory byte arrays; its
 methods offer identical functionality but do not throw IOException.
 Warning: The caller is responsible for not attempting to read past
 the end of the array. If any method encounters the end of the array
 prematurely, it throws IllegalStateException to signify programmer
 error. This behavior is a technical violation of the supertype's
 contract, which specifies a checked exception.

void readFully(byte[] b)
java.io.DataInputb. The number of bytes
 read is equal
 to the length of b.
 This method blocks until one of the following conditions occurs:
b.length
 bytes of input data are available, in which
 case a normal return is made.
 EOFException
 is thrown.
 IOException other
 than EOFException is thrown.
 
 If b is null,
 a NullPointerException is thrown.
 If b.length is zero, then
 no bytes are read. Otherwise, the first
 byte read is stored into element b[0],
 the next one into b[1], and
 so on.
 If an exception is thrown from
 this method, then it may be that some but
 not all bytes of b have been
 updated with data from the input stream.
void readFully(byte[] b, int off, int len)
java.io.DataInputlen
 bytes from
 an input stream.
 This method blocks until one of the following conditions occurs:
len bytes
 of input data are available, in which case
 a normal return is made.
 EOFException
 is thrown.
 IOException other
 than EOFException is thrown.
 
 If b is null,
 a NullPointerException is thrown.
 If off is negative, or len
 is negative, or off+len is
 greater than the length of the array b,
 then an IndexOutOfBoundsException
 is thrown.
 If len is zero,
 then no bytes are read. Otherwise, the first
 byte read is stored into element b[off],
 the next one into b[off+1],
 and so on. The number of bytes read is,
 at most, equal to len.
int skipBytes(int n)
java.io.DataInputn bytes
 of data from the input
 stream, discarding the skipped bytes. However,
 it may skip
 over some smaller number of
 bytes, possibly zero. This may result from
 any of a
 number of conditions; reaching
 end of file before n bytes
 have been skipped is
 only one possibility.
 This method never throws an EOFException.
 The actual
 number of bytes skipped is returned.boolean readBoolean()
java.io.DataInputtrue if that byte is nonzero,
 false if that byte is zero.
 This method is suitable for reading
 the byte written by the writeBoolean
 method of interface DataOutput.readBoolean in interface DataInputboolean value read.byte readByte()
java.io.DataInput-128 through 127,
 inclusive.
 This method is suitable for
 reading the byte written by the writeByte
 method of interface DataOutput.int readUnsignedByte()
java.io.DataInputint, and returns
 the result, which is therefore in the range
 0
 through 255.
 This method is suitable for reading
 the byte written by the writeByte
 method of interface DataOutput
 if the argument to writeByte
 was intended to be a value in the range
 0 through 255.readUnsignedByte in interface DataInputshort readShort()
java.io.DataInputshort value. Let a
 be the first byte read and b
 be the second byte. The value
 returned
 is:
 (short)((a << 8) | (b & 0xff))
 writeShort method of
 interface DataOutput.int readUnsignedShort()
java.io.DataInputint value in the range 0
 through 65535. Let a
 be the first byte read and
 b
 be the second byte. The value returned is:
 (((a & 0xff) << 8) | (b & 0xff))
 writeShort method
 of interface DataOutput  if
 the argument to writeShort
 was intended to be a value in the range
 0 through 65535.readUnsignedShort in interface DataInputchar readChar()
java.io.DataInputchar value.
 Let a
 be the first byte read and b
 be the second byte. The value
 returned is:
 (char)((a << 8) | (b & 0xff))
 writeChar method of interface
 DataOutput.int readInt()
java.io.DataInputint value. Let a-d
 be the first through fourth bytes read. The value returned is:
 
 
 (((a & 0xff) << 24) | ((b & 0xff) << 16) |
  ((c & 0xff) << 8) | (d & 0xff))
 
 This method is suitable
 for reading bytes written by the writeInt
 method of interface DataOutput.long readLong()
java.io.DataInputlong value. Let a-h
 be the first through eighth bytes read.
 The value returned is:
  
 (((long)(a & 0xff) << 56) |
  ((long)(b & 0xff) << 48) |
  ((long)(c & 0xff) << 40) |
  ((long)(d & 0xff) << 32) |
  ((long)(e & 0xff) << 24) |
  ((long)(f & 0xff) << 16) |
  ((long)(g & 0xff) <<  8) |
  ((long)(h & 0xff)))
 
 
 This method is suitable
 for reading bytes written by the writeLong
 method of interface DataOutput.
float readFloat()
java.io.DataInputfloat value. It does this
 by first constructing an int
 value in exactly the manner
 of the readInt
 method, then converting this int
 value to a float in
 exactly the manner of the method Float.intBitsToFloat.
 This method is suitable for reading
 bytes written by the writeFloat
 method of interface DataOutput.double readDouble()
java.io.DataInputdouble value. It does this
 by first constructing a long
 value in exactly the manner
 of the readlong
 method, then converting this long
 value to a double in exactly
 the manner of the method Double.longBitsToDouble.
 This method is suitable for reading
 bytes written by the writeDouble
 method of interface DataOutput.readDouble in interface DataInputdouble value read.String readLine()
java.io.DataInputString. Note
 that because this
 method processes bytes,
 it does not support input of the full Unicode
 character set.
 
 If end of file is encountered
 before even one byte can be read, then null
 is returned. Otherwise, each byte that is
 read is converted to type char
 by zero-extension. If the character '\n'
 is encountered, it is discarded and reading
 ceases. If the character '\r'
 is encountered, it is discarded and, if
 the following byte converts  to the
 character '\n', then that is
 discarded also; reading then ceases. If
 end of file is encountered before either
 of the characters '\n' and
 '\r' is encountered, reading
 ceases. Once reading has ceased, a String
 is returned that contains all the characters
 read and not discarded, taken in order.
 Note that every character in this string
 will have a value less than \u0100,
 that is, (char)256.
String readUTF()
java.io.DataInputreadUTF
 is that it reads a representation of a Unicode
 character string encoded in modified
 UTF-8 format; this string of characters
 is then returned as a String.
 
 First, two bytes are read and used to
 construct an unsigned 16-bit integer in
 exactly the manner of the readUnsignedShort
 method . This integer value is called the
 UTF length and specifies the number
 of additional bytes to be read. These bytes
 are then converted to characters by considering
 them in groups. The length of each group
 is computed from the value of the first
 byte of the group. The byte following a
 group, if any, is the first byte of the
 next group.
 
 If the first byte of a group
 matches the bit pattern 0xxxxxxx
 (where x means "may be 0
 or 1"), then the group consists
 of just that byte. The byte is zero-extended
 to form a character.
 
 If the first byte
 of a group matches the bit pattern 110xxxxx,
 then the group consists of that byte a
 and a second byte b. If there
 is no byte b (because byte
 a was the last of the bytes
 to be read), or if byte b does
 not match the bit pattern 10xxxxxx,
 then a UTFDataFormatException
 is thrown. Otherwise, the group is converted
 to the character:
(char)(((a& 0x1F) << 6) | (b & 0x3F))
 1110xxxx,
 then the group consists of that byte a
 and two more bytes b and c.
 If there is no byte c (because
 byte a was one of the last
 two of the bytes to be read), or either
 byte b or byte c
 does not match the bit pattern 10xxxxxx,
 then a UTFDataFormatException
 is thrown. Otherwise, the group is converted
 to the character:
 (char)(((a & 0x0F) << 12) | ((b & 0x3F) << 6) | (c & 0x3F))
 1111xxxx or the pattern
 10xxxxxx, then a UTFDataFormatException
 is thrown.
 
 If end of file is encountered
 at any time during this entire process,
 then an EOFException is thrown.
 
 After every group has been converted to
 a character by this process, the characters
 are gathered, in the same order in which
 their corresponding groups were read from
 the input stream, to form a String,
 which is returned.
 
 The writeUTF
 method of interface DataOutput
 may be used to write data that is suitable
 for reading by this method.
