ByteReadPacket

Close input including the underlying source. All pending bytes will be discarded. It is not recommended to invoke it with read operations in-progress concurrently.

Returns a copy of the packet. The original packet and the copy could be used concurrently. Both need to be either completely consumed or released via release

Discards at most n bytes

Discard at most n bytes

Discards exactly n bytes or fails with EOFException

Try to copy at least min but up to max bytes to the specified destination buffer from this input skipping offset bytes. If there are not enough bytes available to provide min bytes after skipping offset bytes then it will trigger the underlying source reading first and after that will simply copy available bytes even if EOF encountered so min is not a requirement but a desired number of bytes. It is safe to specify max greater than the destination free space. min shouldn't be bigger than the destination free space. This function could trigger the underlying source reading that may lead to blocking I/O. It is allowed to specify too big offset so in this case this function will always return 0 after prefetching all underlying bytes but note that it may lead to significant memory consumption. This function usually copy more bytes than min (unless max = min) but it is not guaranteed. When 0 is returned with offset = 0 then it makes sense to check endOfInput.

Read the next upcoming byte

Read a string at last min and at most max characters length

Read at least min and at most max characters and append them to out

Read a string exactly exactCharacters length

Read exactly exactCharacters characters and append them to out

Release packet. After this function invocation the packet becomes empty. If it has been copied via ByteReadPacket.copy then the copy should be released as well.

Returns next byte (unsigned) or -1 if no more bytes available

It is true when it is known that no more bytes will be available. When it is false then this means that it is not known yet or there are available bytes. Please note that false value doesn't guarantee that there are available bytes so readByte() may fail.

Number of bytes available for read

Creates InputStream adapter to the packet

Read exactly n bytes to a new array buffer instance

Read at most dst.remaining() bytes to the specified dst byte buffer and change its position accordingly

Read at most limit bytes to the specified dst address

Read exactly n (optional, read all remaining by default) bytes to a newly allocated byte buffer

Read exactly n bytes (consumes all remaining if n is not specified but up to Int.MAX_VALUE bytes). Does fail if not enough bytes remaining.

Creates Reader from the byte packet that decodes UTF-8 characters

Read exactly dst.remaining() bytes to the specified dst byte buffer and change its position accordingly

Read exactly size bytes to the specified dst address

Read a string line considering optionally specified estimate but up to optional limit characters length (does fail once limit exceeded) or return null if the packet is empty
