BufferedInputStream adds
functionality to another input stream-namely,
the ability to buffer the input and to
support the mark and reset
methods. When the BufferedInputStream
is created, an internal buffer array is
created. As bytes from the stream are read
or skipped, the internal buffer is refilled
as necessary from the contained input stream,
many bytes at a time. The mark
operation remembers a point in the input
stream and the reset operation
causes all the bytes read since the most
recent mark operation to be
reread before new bytes are taken from
the contained input stream.
buf array.
This value is always in the range 0
through count. If it is less
than count, then buf[pos]
is the next byte to be supplied as input;
if it is equal to count, then
the next read or skip
operation will require more bytes to be
read from the contained input stream.
bufpos field at the time the last
mark method was called.
This value is always
in the range -1 through pos.
If there is no marked position in the input
stream, this field is -1. If
there is a marked position in the input
stream, then buf[markpos]
is the first byte to be supplied as input
after a reset operation. If
markpos is not -1,
then all bytes from positions buf[markpos]
through buf[pos-1] must remain
in the buffer array (though they may be
moved to another place in the buffer array,
with suitable adjustments to the values
of count, pos,
and markpos); they may not
be discarded unless and until the difference
between pos and markpos
exceeds marklimit.

method of
the read class. As an additional
convenience, it attempts to read as many bytes as possible by repeatedly
invoking the InputStreamread method of the underlying stream. This
iterated read continues until one of the following
conditions becomes true:
read method of the underlying stream returns
-1, indicating end-of-file, or
available method of the underlying stream
returns zero, indicating that further input requests would block.
read on the underlying stream returns
-1 to indicate end-of-file then this method returns
-1. Otherwise this method returns the number of bytes
actually read.
Subclasses of this class are encouraged, but not required, to attempt to read as many bytes as possible in the same fashion.
