PrintObjectInputStream

java.lang.Object
- java.io.InputStream
- - com.ibm.as400.access.PrintObjectInputStream

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.io.Closeable
```
public class PrintObjectInputStream
extends java.io.InputStream
```
Reads data out of a system spooled file or AFP resource such as an overlay or page segment.
An instance of this class can be created either by using the getInputStream method from the AFPResource class or by using the getInputStream method from the SpooledFile class.

Method Summary

Methods
Modifier and Type	Method and Description
`int`	`available()` Returns the number of bytes that can be read without blocking.
`void`	`close()` Closes the input stream.
`void`	`mark(int readLimit)` Marks the current position in the input stream.
`boolean`	`markSupported()` Returns a boolean indicating whether this stream type supports mark/reset.
`int`	`read()` Reads the next byte of data from this input stream.
`int`	`read(byte[] data)` Reads up to data.length bytes of data from this input stream into data.
`int`	`read(byte[] data, int dataOffset, int length)` Reads up to length bytes of data from this input stream into data, starting at the array offset dataOffset.
`void`	`reset()` Repositions the stream to the last marked position.
`long`	`skip(long bytesToSkip)` Skips over the next bytesToSkip bytes in the stream.

- Method Detail
  - available
```
public int available()
              throws java.io.IOException
```
    Returns the number of bytes that can be read without blocking. This class always returns the number of bytes remaining in the spooled file or AFP resource.
    
    Overrides:
    
    available in class java.io.InputStream
    
    Returns:
    The number of available bytes without blocking.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException
  - close
```
public void close()
           throws java.io.IOException
```
    Closes the input stream. It must be called to release any resources associated with the stream.
    
    Specified by:
    
    close in interface java.io.Closeable
    
    Overrides:
    
    close in class java.io.InputStream
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - If an error occurs while communicating with the system.
  - mark
```
public void mark(int readLimit)
```
    Marks the current position in the input stream. A subsequent call to reset() will reposition the stream at the last marked position, so that subsequent reads will reread the same bytes. The stream promises to allow readLimit bytes to be read before the mark position gets invalidated.
    
    Overrides:
    
    mark in class java.io.InputStream
    
    Parameters:
    readLimit - The maximum limit of bytes allowed to be read before the mark position becomes invalid.
  - markSupported
```
public boolean markSupported()
```
    Returns a boolean indicating whether this stream type supports mark/reset.
    
    Overrides:
    
    markSupported in class java.io.InputStream
    
    Returns:
    Always true. Objects of this class will support the mark/reset methods.
  - read
```
public int read()
         throws java.io.IOException
```
    Reads the next byte of data from this input stream.
    
    Specified by:
    
    read in class java.io.InputStream
    
    Returns:
    The byte read, or -1 if the end of the stream is reached.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - If an error occurs while communicating with the system.
  - read
```
public int read(byte[] data)
         throws java.io.IOException
```
    Reads up to data.length bytes of data from this input stream into data.
    
    Overrides:
    
    read in class java.io.InputStream
    
    Parameters:
    data - The buffer into which the data is read.
    
    Returns:
    The total number of bytes read into the buffer, or -1 if there is no more data because the end of file has been reached.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - If an error occurs while communicating with the system.
  - read
```
public int read(byte[] data,
       int dataOffset,
       int length)
         throws java.io.IOException
```
    Reads up to length bytes of data from this input stream into data, starting at the array offset dataOffset.
    
    Overrides:
    
    read in class java.io.InputStream
    
    Parameters:
    data - The buffer into which the data is read.
    dataOffset - The start offset of the data.
    length - 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 file has been reached.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - If an error occurs while communicating with the system.
  - reset
```
public void reset()
           throws java.io.IOException
```
    Repositions the stream to the last marked position. If the stream has not been marked or if the mark has been invalidated, an IOException is thrown.
    
    Overrides:
    
    reset in class java.io.InputStream
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - If an error occurs while communicating with the system.
  - skip
```
public long skip(long bytesToSkip)
          throws java.io.IOException
```
    Skips over the next bytesToSkip bytes in the stream. This method may skip less bytes than specified if the end of file is reached. The actual number of bytes skipped is returned.
    
    Overrides:
    
    skip in class java.io.InputStream
    
    Parameters:
    bytesToSkip - The number of bytes to be skipped.
    
    Returns:
    The actual number of bytes skipped.
    
    Throws:
    
    java.io.IOException - If an error occurs while communicating with the system.
