Create a new pushback reader with a pushback buffer of the given size.

Parameters:
in - The reader from which characters will be read
size - The size of the pushback buffer
 o PushbackReader public PushbackReader(Reader in)
Create a new pushback reader with a one-character pushback buffer.

Methods

 o read public int read() throws IOException
Read a single character.

Returns:
The character read, or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached
Throws: IOException
If an I/O error occurs
Overrides:
read in class FilterReader
 o read public int read(char cbuf[], int off, int len) throws IOException
Read characters into a portion of an array.

Parameters:
cbuf - Destination buffer
off - Offset at which to start writing characters
len - Maximum number of characters to read
Returns:
The number of characters read, or -1 if the end of the stream has been reached
Throws: IOException
If an I/O error occurs
Overrides:
read in class FilterReader
 o unread public void unread(int c) throws IOException
Push back a single character.

Parameters:
c - The character to push back
Throws: IOException
If the pushback buffer is full, or if some other I/O error occurs
 o unread public void unread(char cbuf[], int off, int len) throws IOException
Push back a portion of an array of characters by copying it to the front of the pushback buffer. After this method returns, the next character to be read will have the value cbuf[off], the character after that will have the value cbuf[off+1], and so forth.

Parameters:
cbuf - Character array
off - Offset of first character to push back
len - Number of characters to push back
Throws: IOException
If there is insufficient room in the pushback buffer, or if some other I/O error occurs
 o unread public void unread(char cbuf[]) throws IOException
Push back an array of characters by copying it to the front of the pushback buffer. After this method returns, the next character to be read will have the value cbuf[0], the character after that will have the value cbuf[1], and so forth.

Parameters:
cbuf - Character array to push back
Throws: IOException
If there is insufficient room in the pushback buffer, or if some other I/O error occurs
 o ready public boolean ready() throws IOException
Tell whether this stream is ready to be read.

Throws: IOException
If an I/O error occurs
Overrides:
ready in class FilterReader
 o markSupported public boolean markSupported()
Tell whether this stream supports the mark() operation, which it does not.
