Java.io.PushbackInputStream.available() Method
Description
The java.io.PushbackInputStream.available() method returns an estimate of the number of bytes that can be read (or skipped over) from this input stream without blocking by the next invocation of a method for this input stream. The next invocation might be the same thread or another thread. A single read or skip of this many bytes will not block, but may read or skip fewer bytes.
Declaration
Following is the declaration for java.io.PushbackInputStream.available() method.
public int available()
Parameters
NA
Return Value
This method returns the number of bytes that can be read (or skipped over) from the input stream without blocking.
Exception
IOException − If this input stream has been closed by invoking its close() method, or an I/O error occurs.
Example
The following example shows the usage of java.io.PushbackInputStream.available() method.
package com.tutorialspoint; import java.io.*; public class PushbackInputStreamDemo { public static void main(String[] args) { // declare a buffer and initialize its size: byte[] arrByte = new byte[1024]; // create an array for our message byte[] byteArray = new byte[]{'H', 'e', 'l', 'l', 'o'}; try { // create object of PushbackInputStream class for specified stream InputStream is = new ByteArrayInputStream(byteArray); PushbackInputStream pis = new PushbackInputStream(is); // check how many bytes are available System.out.println("" + pis.available()); // read from the buffer one character at a time for (int i = 0; i < byteArray.length; i++) { // read a char into our array arrByte[i] = (byte) pis.read(); // display the read byte System.out.print((char) arrByte[i]); } } catch (Exception ex) { ex.printStackTrace(); } } }
Let us compile and run the above program, this will produce the following result −
