public final class FileBranchingStream
extends BranchingInputStream

A BranchingInputStream for reading from files. Uses a FileInputStream to read from the file, but tracks the position read to so that branches can skip to the same location.

This stream would be most suited for when a large file is expected to piped straight to output, without modification and minimal branching. If the stream is not a large file, is going to be modified by filters, or is going to have substantial branching, a wrapper BranchingInputStream could be considered instead.

FileBranchingStream

public FileBranchingStream(File file)
                    throws FileNotFoundException

Creates a new stream for the specified file.

Parameters:

file - The file to read from.

Throws:

FileNotFoundException - If the file does not exist.

Method Details

branch

public BranchingInputStream branch()
                            throws IOException

Description copied from class: BranchingInputStream

Creates a new branch at this stream's current position. The returned stream will have this stream as its parent.

Specified by:

branch in class BranchingInputStream

Returns:

a new branching stream, in the same position as this branch.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O exception occurs.

copy

public BranchingInputStream copy()
                          throws IOException

Description copied from class: BranchingInputStream

Creates a twin of this stream at this stream's current position. The returned stream will have the same parent as this stream.

Specified by:

copy in class BranchingInputStream

Returns:

a new twin stream, in the same position as this branch.

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O exception occurs.

read

public int read()
         throws IOException

Specified by:

read in class InputStream

Throws:

IOException

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Description copied from class: BranchingInputStream

Closes this branching stream and all of the branches created from it.

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

Specified by:

close in class BranchingInputStream

Throws:

IOException - if an I/O exception occurs.
