    public abstract class SeekableStream

extends java.io.InputStream
implements java.io.DataInput

An abstract subclass of `java.io.InputStream` that allows seeking within the input, similar to the `RandomAccessFile` class. Additionally, the `DataInput` interface is supported and extended to include support for little-endian representations of fundamental data types.

In addition to the familiar methods from `InputStream`, the methods `getFilePointer()`, `seek()`, are defined as in the `RandomAccessFile` class. The `canSeekBackwards()` method will return `true` if it is permissible to seek to a position earlier in the stream than the current value of `getFilePointer()`. Some subclasses of `SeekableStream` guarantee the ability to seek backwards while others may not offer this feature in the interest of providing greater efficiency for those users who do not require it.

The `DataInput` interface is supported as well. This included the `skipBytes()` and `readFully()` methods and a variety of `read` methods for various data types.

A number of concrete subclasses of `SeekableStream` are supplied in the `com.sun.media.jai.codec` package.

Three classes are provided for the purpose of adapting a standard `InputStream` to the `SeekableStream` interface. `ForwardSeekableStream` does not allows seeking backwards, but is inexpensive to use. `FileCacheSeekableStream` maintains a copy of all of the data read from the input in a temporary file; this file will be discarded automatically when the `FileSeekableStream` is finalized, or when the JVM exits normally. `FileCacheSeekableStream` is intended to be reasonably efficient apart from the unavoidable use of disk space. In circumstances where the creation of a temporary file is not possible, `MemoryCacheSeekableStream` may be used. `MemoryCacheSeekableStream` creates a potentially large in-memory buffer to store the stream data and so should be avoided when possible.

The `FileSeekableStream` class wraps a `File` or `RandomAccessFile`. It forwards requests to the real underlying file. It performs a limited amount of caching in order to avoid excessive I/O costs.

The `SegmentedSeekableStream` class performs a different sort of function. It creates a `SeekableStream` from another `SeekableStream` by selecting a series of portions or "segments". Each segment starts at a specified location within the source `SeekableStream` and extends for a specified number of bytes. The `StreamSegmentMapper` interface and `StreamSegment` class may be used to compute the segment positions dynamically.

A convenience methods, `wrapInputStream` is provided to construct a suitable `SeekableStream` instance whose data is supplied by a given `InputStream`. The caller, by means of the `canSeekBackwards` parameter, determines whether support for seeking backwards is required.

Method Detail

### wrapInputStream

    public static SeekableStream wrapInputStream(java.io.InputStream is,
                                                 boolean canSeekBackwards)

  Returns a `SeekableStream` that will read from a given `InputStream`, optionally including support for seeking backwards. This is a convenience method that avoids the need to instantiate specific subclasses of `SeekableStream` depending on the current security model.

  Parameters:
    `is` - An `InputStream`.
    `canSeekBackwards` - `true` if the ability to seek backwards in the output is required.
  Returns:
    An instance of `SeekableStream`.

### read

    public abstract int read()
                      throws java.io.IOException

  Reads the next byte of data from the input stream. The value byte is returned as an `int` in the range `0` to `255`. If no byte is available because the end of the stream has been reached, the value `-1` is returned. This method blocks until input data is available, the end of the stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.

  A subclass must provide an implementation of this method.

  Specified by:
    `read` in class `java.io.InputStream`
  Returns:
    the next byte of data, or `-1` if the end of the stream is reached.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.

### read

    public abstract int read(byte[] b,
                             int off,
                             int len)
                      throws java.io.IOException

  Reads up to `len` bytes of data from the input stream into an array of bytes. An attempt is made to read as many as `len` bytes, but a smaller number may be read, possibly zero. The number of bytes actually read is returned as an integer.

  This method blocks until input data is available, end of stream is detected, or an exception 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 and `0` is returned; otherwise, there is an attempt to read at least one byte. If no byte is available because the stream is at end of stream, the value `-1` is returned; otherwise, at least one byte is read and stored into `b`.

  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`. Let k be the number of bytes actually read; these bytes will be stored in elements `b[off]` through `b[off+`k`-1]`, leaving elements `b[off+`k`]` through `b[off+len-1]` unaffected.

  In every case, elements `b[0]` through `b[off]` and elements `b[off+len]` through `b[b.length-1]` are unaffected.

  If the first byte cannot be read for any reason other than end of stream, then an `IOException` is thrown. In particular, an `IOException` is thrown if the input stream has been closed.

  A subclass must provide an implementation of this method.

  Overrides:
    `read` in class `java.io.InputStream`
  Parameters:
    `b` - the buffer into which the data is read.
    `off` - the start offset in array `b` 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 there is no more data because the end of the stream has been reached.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.

### mark

    public void mark(int readLimit)

  Marks the current file position for later return using the `reset()` method.

  Overrides:

  Returns the file position to its position at the time of the immediately previous call to the `mark()` method.

  Overrides:
    `reset` in class `java.io.InputStream`
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException`

### markSupported

    public boolean markSupported()

  Overrides:
    `markSupported` in class `java.io.InputStream`

### canSeekBackwards

    public boolean canSeekBackwards()

  Returns `true` if this object supports calls to `seek(pos)` with an offset `pos` smaller than the current offset, as returned by `getFilePointer`.

    public abstract long getFilePointer()
                                 throws java.io.IOException

  Returns the current offset in this stream.

  Returns:
    the offset from the beginning of the stream, in bytes, at which the next read occurs.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.

                       throws java.io.IOException

  Sets the offset, measured from the beginning of this stream, at which the next read occurs.

  If `canSeekBackwards()` returns `false`, then setting `pos` to an offset smaller than the current value of `getFilePointer()` will have no effect.

  Parameters:
    `pos` - the offset position, measured in bytes from the beginning of the stream, at which to set the stream pointer.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if `pos` is less than `0` or if an I/O error occurs.

### skipBytes

    public int skipBytes(int n)
                  throws java.io.IOException

  Attempts to skip over `n` bytes of input discarding the skipped bytes.

  This method may skip over some smaller number of bytes, possibly zero. This may result from any of a number of conditions; reaching end of stream before `n` bytes have been skipped is only one possibility. This method never throws an `EOFException`. The actual number of bytes skipped is returned. If `n` is negative, no bytes are skipped.

  Specified by:
    `skipBytes` in interface `java.io.DataInput`
  Parameters:

                          throws java.io.IOException

  Reads a signed 64-bit integer from this stream in little-endian order. This method reads eight bytes from the stream, starting at the current stream pointer. If the bytes read, in order, are `b1`, `b2`, `b3`, `b4`, `b5`, `b6`, `b7`, and `b8,` where:

  >          0 <= b1, b2, b3, b4, b5, b6, b7, b8 <=255,

  then the result is equal to:

  >          ((long)b1 << 56) + ((long)b2 << 48)
  >          + ((long)b3 << 40) + ((long)b4 << 32)
  >          + ((long)b5 << 24) + ((long)b6 << 16)
  >          + ((long)b7 << 8) + b8

  This method blocks until the eight bytes are read, the end of the stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.

  Returns:
    the next eight bytes of this stream, interpreted as a `long`.
  Throws:
    `java.io.EOFException` - if this stream reaches the end before reading eight bytes.
    `java.io.IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.

### readFloat

    public final float readFloat()
                          throws java.io.IOException

  Reads a `float` from this stream. This method reads an `int` value, starting at the current stream pointer, as if by the `readInt` method and then converts that `int` to a `float` using the `intBitsToFloat` method in class `Float`.

  This method blocks until the four bytes are read, the end of the stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.

  Specified by:
    `readFloat` in interface `java.io.DataInput`
  Returns:
    the next four bytes of this stream, interpreted as a `float`.
  Throws:
    `java.io.EOFException` - if this stream reaches the end before reading four bytes.
    `java.io.IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.

### readFloatLE

    public final float readFloatLE()
                            throws java.io.IOException

  Reads a `float` from this stream in little-endian order. This method reads an `int` value, starting at the current stream pointer, as if by the `readInt` method and then converts that `int` to a `float` using the `intBitsToFloat` method in class `Float`.

  This method blocks until the four bytes are read, the end of the stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.

  Returns:
    the next four bytes of this stream, interpreted as a `float`.
  Throws:
    `java.io.EOFException` - if this stream reaches the end before reading four bytes.
    `java.io.IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.

### readDouble

    public final double readDouble()
                            throws java.io.IOException

  Reads a `double` from this stream. This method reads a `long` value, starting at the current stream pointer, as if by the `readLong` method and then converts that `long` to a `double` using the `longBitsToDouble` method in class `Double`.

  This method blocks until the eight bytes are read, the end of the stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.

  Specified by:
    `readDouble` in interface `java.io.DataInput`
  Returns:
    the next eight bytes of this stream, interpreted as a `double`.
  Throws:
    `java.io.EOFException` - if this stream reaches the end before reading eight bytes.
    `java.io.IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.

### readDoubleLE

    public final double readDoubleLE()
                              throws java.io.IOException

  Reads a `double` from this stream in little-endian order. This method reads a `long` value, starting at the current stream pointer, as if by the `readLong` method and then converts that `long` to a `double` using the `longBitsToDouble` method in class `Double`.

  This method blocks until the eight bytes are read, the end of the stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.

  Returns:
    the next eight bytes of this stream, interpreted as a `double`.
  Throws:
    `java.io.EOFException` - if this stream reaches the end before reading eight bytes.
    `java.io.IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.

### readLine

    public final java.lang.String readLine()
                                    throws java.io.IOException

  Reads the next line of text from this stream. This method successively reads bytes from the stream, starting at the current stream pointer, until it reaches a line terminator or the end of the stream. Each byte is converted into a character by taking the byte's value for the lower eight bits of the character and setting the high eight bits of the character to zero. This method does not, therefore, support the full Unicode character set.

  A line of text is terminated by a carriage-return character (`'\r'`), a newline character (`'\n'`), a carriage-return character immediately followed by a newline character, or the end of the stream. Line-terminating characters are discarded and are not included as part of the string returned.

  This method blocks until a newline character is read, a carriage return and the byte following it are read (to see if it is a newline), the end of the stream is reached, or an exception is thrown.

  Specified by:
    `readLine` in interface `java.io.DataInput`
  Returns:
    the next line of text from this stream, or null if end of stream is encountered before even one byte is read.
  Throws:
    `java.io.IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.

### readUTF

    public final java.lang.String readUTF()
                                   throws java.io.IOException

  Reads in a string from this stream. The string has been encoded using a modified UTF-8 format.

  The first two bytes are read, starting from the current stream pointer, as if by `readUnsignedShort`. This value gives the number of following bytes that are in the encoded string, not the length of the resulting string. The following bytes are then interpreted as bytes encoding characters in the UTF-8 format and are converted into characters.

  This method blocks until all the bytes are read, the end of the stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.

  Specified by:
    `readUTF` in interface `java.io.DataInput`
  Returns:
    a Unicode string.
  Throws:
    `java.io.EOFException` - if this stream reaches the end before reading all the bytes.
    `java.io.IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.
    `java.io.UTFDataFormatException` - if the bytes do not represent valid UTF-8 encoding of a Unicode string.

### finalize

    protected void finalize()
                     throws java.lang.Throwable

  Releases any system resources associated with this stream by calling the `close()` method.

  Overrides:
    `finalize` in class `java.lang.Object`
  Throws:
    `java.lang.Throwable`
