Known Direct Subclasses |
Wraps an existing Reader
and buffers the input. Expensive
interaction with the underlying reader is minimized, since most (smaller)
requests can be satisfied by accessing the buffer alone. The drawback is that
some extra space is required to hold the buffer and that copying takes place
when filling that buffer, but this is usually outweighed by the performance
benefits.
BufferedReader buf = new BufferedReader(new FileReader("file.java"));

Constructs a new BufferedReader on the Reader in

buffer gets the default size (8 KB).
in | the Reader that is buffered. |
---|
Constructs a new BufferedReader on the Reader in
. The buffer
size is specified by the parameter size
.
in | the Reader that is buffered. |
---|---|
size | the size of the buffer to allocate. |
IllegalArgumentException | if size <= 0 .
|
---|
Closes this reader. This implementation closes the buffered source reader and releases the buffer. Nothing is done if this reader has already been closed.
IOException | if an error occurs while closing this reader. |
---|
Sets a mark position in this reader. The parameter markLimit
indicates how many characters can be read before the mark is invalidated.
Calling reset()
will reposition the reader back to the marked
position if markLimit
has not been surpassed.
markLimit | the number of characters that can be read before the mark is invalidated. |
---|
IllegalArgumentException | if markLimit < 0 . |
---|---|
IOException | if an error occurs while setting a mark in this reader. |
Reads at most length
characters from this reader and stores them
at offset
in the character array buffer
. Returns the
number of characters actually read or -1 if the end of the source reader
has been reached. If all the buffered characters have been used, a mark
has not been set and the requested number of characters is larger than
this readers buffer size, BufferedReader bypasses the buffer and simply
places the results directly into buffer
.
buffer | the character array to store the characters read. |
---|---|
offset | the initial position in buffer to store the bytes read
from this reader. |
length | the maximum number of characters to read, must be non-negative. |
IndexOutOfBoundsException | if offset < 0 or length < 0 , or if
offset + length is greater than the size of
buffer . |
---|---|
IOException | if this reader is closed or some other I/O error occurs. |
Reads a single character from this reader and returns it with the two higher-order bytes set to 0. If possible, BufferedReader returns a character from the buffer. If there are no characters available in the buffer, it fills the buffer and then returns a character. It returns -1 if there are no more characters in the source reader.
IOException | if this reader is closed or some other I/O error occurs. |
---|
Returns the next line of text available from this reader. A line is
represented by zero or more characters followed by '\n'
,
'\r'
, "\r\n"
or the end of the reader. The string does
not include the newline sequence.
null
if no characters were
read before the end of the reader has been reached.IOException | if this reader is closed or some other I/O error occurs. |
---|
Indicates whether this reader is ready to be read without blocking.
true
if this reader will not block when read
is
called, false
if unknown or blocking will occur.IOException | if this reader is closed or some other I/O error occurs. |
---|
Resets this reader's position to the last mark()
location.
Invocations of read()
and skip()
will occur from this new
location.
IOException | if this reader is closed or no mark has been set. |
---|
Skips amount
characters in this reader. Subsequent
read()
s will not return these characters unless reset()
is used. Skipping characters may invalidate a mark if markLimit
is surpassed.
amount | the maximum number of characters to skip. |
---|
IllegalArgumentException | if amount < 0 . |

IOException | if this reader is closed or some other I/O error occurs. |
