public class ByteArrayInputStream extends InputStream
ByteArrayInputStream contains
 an internal buffer that contains bytes that
 may be read from the stream. An internal
 counter keeps track of the next byte to
 be supplied by the read method.
 Closing a ByteArrayInputStream has no effect. The methods in this class can be called after the stream has been closed without generating an IOException.
StringBufferInputStream| Modifier and Type | Field and Description | 
|---|---|
| protected byte[] | bufAn array of bytes that was provided
 by the creator of the stream. | 
| protected int | countThe index one greater than the last valid character in the input
 stream buffer. | 
| protected int | markThe currently marked position in the stream. | 
| protected int | posThe index of the next character to read from the input stream buffer. | 
| Constructor and Description |

| ByteArrayInputStream(byte[] buf)Creates a  ByteArrayInputStreamso that it  usesbufas its
 buffer array. |

| Modifier and Type | Method and Description | 
|---|---|
| int | available()Returns the number of remaining bytes that can be read (or skipped over)
 from this input stream. | 
| void | close()Closing a ByteArrayInputStream has no effect. | 
| void | mark(int readAheadLimit)Set the current marked position in the stream. | 
| boolean | markSupported()Tests if this  InputStreamsupports mark/reset. | 
| int | read()Reads the next byte of data from this input stream. | 
| int | read(byte[] b,
    int off,
    int len)Reads up to  lenbytes of data into an array of bytes
 from this input stream. | 
| void | reset()Resets the buffer to the marked position. | 
| long | skip(long n)Skips  nbytes of input from this input stream. | 
readprotected byte[] buf
buf[0]
 through buf[count-1] are the
 only bytes that can ever be read from the
 stream;  element buf[pos] is
 the next byte to be read.protected int pos
count.
 The next byte to be read from the input stream buffer
 will be buf[pos].protected int mark
mark() method.
 The current buffer position is set to this point by the
 reset() method.
 If no mark has been set, then the value of mark is the offset passed to the constructor (or 0 if the offset was not supplied).
protected int count
buf.
 It  is one greater than the position of
 the last byte within buf that
 can ever be read  from the input stream buffer.public ByteArrayInputStream(byte[] buf)
ByteArrayInputStream
 so that it  uses buf as its
 buffer array.
 The buffer array is not copied.
 The initial value of pos
 is 0 and the initial value
 of  count is the length of
 buf.buf - the input buffer.public ByteArrayInputStream(byte[] buf,
                            int offset,
                            int length)
ByteArrayInputStream
 that uses buf as its
 buffer array. The initial value of pos
 is offset and the initial value
 of count is the minimum of offset+length
 and buf.length.
 The buffer array is not copied. The buffer's mark is
 set to the specified offset.buf - the input buffer.offset - the offset in the buffer of the first byte to read.length - the maximum number of bytes to read from the buffer.public int read()
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 read method
 cannot block.
read in class InputStream-1 if the end of the
          stream has been reached.public int read(byte[] b,
                int off,
                int len)
len bytes of data into an array of bytes
 from this input stream.
 If pos equals count,
 then -1 is returned to indicate
 end of file. Otherwise, the  number k
 of bytes read is equal to the smaller of
 len and count-pos.
 If k is positive, then bytes
 buf[pos] through buf[pos+k-1]
 are copied into b[off]  through
 b[off+k-1] in the manner performed
 by System.arraycopy. The
 value k is added into pos
 and k is returned.
 
 This read method cannot block.

n bytes of input from this input stream. Fewer
 bytes might be skipped if the end of the input stream is reached.
 The actual number k
 of bytes to be skipped is equal to the smaller
 of n and  count-pos.
 The value k is added into pos
 and k is returned.skip in class InputStreamn - the number of bytes to be skipped.public int available()
 The value returned is count - pos,
 which is the number of bytes remaining to be read from the input buffer.
available in class InputStreampublic boolean markSupported()
InputStream supports mark/reset. The
 markSupported method of ByteArrayInputStream
 always returns true.markSupported in class InputStreamtrue if this stream instance supports the mark
          and reset methods; false otherwise.InputStream.mark(int), 
InputStream.reset()public void mark(int readAheadLimit)
If no mark has been set, then the value of the mark is the offset passed to the constructor (or 0 if the offset was not supplied).
 Note: The readAheadLimit for this class
  has no meaning.
