java.lang.Objectjava.io.Reader
java.io.BufferedReader
@TransactionType(value=NOT_SUPPORTED) public class BufferedReader
Read text from a character-input stream, buffering characters so as to provide for the efficient reading of characters, arrays, and lines.
The buffer size may be specified, or the default size may be used. The default is large enough for most purposes.
In general, each read request made of a Reader causes a corresponding read request to be made of the underlying character or byte stream. It is therefore advisable to wrap a BufferedReader around any Reader whose read() operations may be costly, such as InputStreamReaders. For example,
DataInputStream is = Connector.openDataInputStream("file:///foo.in");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(is));
will buffer the input from the specified file. Without buffering, each
invocation of read() or readLine() could cause bytes to be read from the
file, converted into characters, and then returned, which can be very
inefficient.
Programs that use DataInputStreams for textual input can be localized by replacing each DataInputStream with an appropriate BufferedReader.

This method implements the general contract of the corresponding
method of the
read class. As an additional convenience, it
attempts to read as many characters as possible by repeatedly invoking
the Readerread method of the underlying stream. This iterated
read continues until one of the following conditions
becomes true:
read method of the underlying stream returns
-1, indicating end-of-file, or
ready method of the underlying stream returns
false, indicating that further input requests would
block.
read on the underlying stream returns
-1 to indicate end-of-file then this method returns
-1. Otherwise this method returns the number of
characters actually read.
Subclasses of this class are encouraged, but not required, to attempt to read as many characters as possible in the same fashion.
Ordinarily this method takes characters from this stream's character
buffer, filling it from the underlying stream as necessary. If, however,
the buffer is empty, the mark is not valid, and the requested length is
at least as large as the buffer, then this method will read characters
directly from the underlying stream into the given array. Thus redundant
BufferedReaders will not copy data unnecessarily.

public void mark(int readAheadLimit)
throws IOException
mark in class ReaderreadAheadLimit - Limit on the number of characters that may be read while still
preserving the mark. After reading this many characters,
attempting to reset the stream may fail. A limit value larger
than the size of the input buffer will cause a new buffer to
be allocated whose size is no smaller than limit. Therefore
large values should be used with care.
IllegalArgumentException - If readAheadLimit is < 0
IOException - If an I/O error occurs

throws IOException

been invalidated
