DataOutput interface.

This method can read a byte written by an object
implementing the
writeByte() method in the DataOutput interface.
byte value readEOFException - If end of file is reached before reading the byteIOException - If any other error occurspublic char readChar()char value from an input stream.
It operates by reading two bytes from the stream and converting them to
a single 16-bit Java char. The two bytes are stored most
significant byte first (i.e., "big endian") regardless of the native
host byte ordering.
As an example, if byte1 and byte2 represent the
first and second byte read from the stream respectively, they will be
transformed to a char in the following manner:
(char)((byte1 << 8) + byte2)
This method can read a char written by an object implementing
the
writeChar() method in the DataOutput interface.

exactly len. Note that this method blocks until the data is
available and * throws an exception if there is not enough data left in
the stream to read len bytes.

It operates by reading four bytes from the stream and converting them to
a single Java int. The bytes are stored most
significant byte first (i.e., "big endian") regardless of the native
host byte ordering.
As an example, if byte1 through byte4 represent
the first four bytes read from the stream, they will be
transformed to an int in the following manner:
(int)((byte1 << 24) + (byte2 << 16) + (byte3 << 8) + byte4))
The value returned is in the range of -2147483648 to 2147483647.
This method can read an int written by an object implementing
the writeInt() method in the DataOutput interface.
int value readEOFException - If end of file is reached before reading the intIOException - If any other error occurspublic String readLine()char
values by treating the byte read as the low eight bits of the
char and using 0 as the high eight bits. Because of this,
it does not support the full 16-bit Unicode character set.
The reading of bytes ends when either the end of file or a line terminator
is encountered. The bytes read are then returned as a String.
A line terminator is a byte sequence consisting of either
\r, \n or \r\n. These termination
charaters are discarded and are not returned as part of the string.
This method can read data that was written by an object implementing the
writeLine() method in DataOutput.
StringIOException - If an error occurspublic long readLong()long value from an input stream
It operates by reading eight bytes from the stream and converting them to
a single Java long. The bytes are stored most
significant byte first (i.e., "big endian") regardless of the native
host byte ordering.
As an example, if byte1 through byte8 represent
the first eight bytes read from the stream, they will be
transformed to an long in the following manner:
(long)((byte1 << 56) + (byte2 << 48) + (byte3 << 40) +
(byte4 << 32) + (byte5 << 24) + (byte6 << 16) + (byte7 << 8) + byte9))
The value returned is in the range of -9223372036854775808 to 9223372036854775807.
This method can read an long written by an object implementing
the writeLong() method in the DataOutput
interface.
long value readEOFException - If end of file is reached before reading the longIOException - If any other error occurspublic short readShort()short. The two bytes are stored most
significant byte first (i.e., "big endian") regardless of the native
host byte ordering.
As an example, if byte1 and byte2 represent the
first and second byte read from the stream respectively, they will be
transformed to a short in the following manner:
(short)((byte1 << 8) + byte2)
The value returned is in the range of -32768 to 32767.
This method can read a short written by an object implementing
the writeShort() method in the DataOutput
interface.
short value readEOFException - If end of file is reached before reading the valueIOException - If any other error occurspublic String readUTF()String from an input stream that is
encoded in a modified UTF-8 format. This format has a leading two byte
sequence that contains the remaining number of bytes to read. This two byte
sequence is read using the readUnsignedShort() method of this
interface.
After the number of remaining bytes have been determined, these bytes
are read an transformed into char values. These
char values are encoded in the stream using either a one, two,
or three byte format.
The particular format in use can be determined by examining the first
byte read.
If the first byte has a high order bit of 0, then
that character consists on only one byte. This character value consists
of seven bits that are at positions 0 through 6 of the byte. As an
example, if byte1 is the byte read from the stream, it would
be converted to a char like so:
(char)byte1
If the first byte has 110 as its high order bits, then the character consists of two bytes. The bits that make up the character value are in positions 0 through 4 of the first byte and bit positions 0 through 5 of the second byte. (The second byte should have 10 as its high order bits). These values are in most significant byte first (i.e., "big endian") order.
As an example, if byte1 and byte2 are the first
two bytes read respectively, and the high order bits of them match the
patterns which indicate a two byte character encoding, then they would be
converted to a Java char like so:
(char)(((byte1 & 0x1F) << 6) + (byte2 & 0x3F))
If the first byte has a 1110 as its high order bits, then the character consists of three bytes. The bits that make up the character value are in positions 0 through 3 of the first byte and bit positions 0 through 5 of the other two bytes. (The second and third bytes should have 10 as their high order bits). These values are in most significant byte first (i.e., "big endian") order.
As an example, if byte1, byte2, and
byte3 are the three bytes read, and the high order bits of
them match the patterns which indicate a three byte character encoding,
then they would be converted to a Java char like so:
(char)(((byte1 & 0x0F) << 12) + ((byte2 & 0x3F) + (byte3 & 0x3F))
Note that all characters are encoded in the method that requires the
fewest number of bytes with the exception of the character with the
value of \ which is encoded as two bytes. This is
a modification of the UTF standard used to prevent C language style
NUL values from appearing in the byte stream.

writeUTF() method in DataOutput.
