Constructor and Description
BitInputStream(InputStream in, ByteOrder byteOrder) Constructor taking an InputStream and its bit arrangement.

Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
void	alignWithByteBoundary() Drops bits until the next bits will be read from a byte boundary.
long	bitsAvailable() Returns an estimate of the number of bits that can be read from this input stream without blocking by the next invocation of a method for this input stream.
int	bitsCached() Returns the number of bits that can be read from this input stream without reading from the underlying input stream at all.
void	clearBitCache() Clears the cache of bits that have been read from the underlying stream but not yet provided via readBits(int).
void	close()
long	readBits(int count) Returns at most 63 bits read from the underlying stream.

Constructor Detail

BitInputStream

public BitInputStream(InputStream in,
                      ByteOrder byteOrder)

Constructor taking an InputStream and its bit arrangement.

Parameters:

in - the InputStream

byteOrder - the bit arrangement across byte boundaries, either BIG_ENDIAN (aaaaabbb bb000000) or LITTLE_ENDIAN (bbbaaaaa 000000bb)

Method Detail

close

public void close()
           throws IOException

Specified by:

close in interface Closeable

Specified by:

close in interface AutoCloseable

Throws:

IOException

clearBitCache

public void clearBitCache()

Clears the cache of bits that have been read from the underlying stream but not yet provided via readBits(int).

readBits

public long readBits(int count)
              throws IOException

Returns at most 63 bits read from the underlying stream.

Parameters:

count - the number of bits to read, must be a positive number not bigger than 63.

Returns:

the bits concatenated as a long using the stream's byte order. -1 if the end of the underlying stream has been reached before reading the requested number of bits

Throws:

IOException - on error

bitsCached

public int bitsCached()

Returns the number of bits that can be read from this input stream without reading from the underlying input stream at all.

Returns:

estimate of the number of bits that can be read without reading from the underlying stream

Since:

1.16

bitsAvailable

public long bitsAvailable()
                   throws IOException

Returns an estimate of the number of bits that can be read from this input stream without blocking by the next invocation of a method for this input stream.

Returns:

estimate of the number of bits that can be read without blocking

Throws:

IOException - if the underlying stream throws one when calling available

Since:

1.16

alignWithByteBoundary

public void alignWithByteBoundary()

Drops bits until the next bits will be read from a byte boundary.

Since:

1.16
