Class BufferingReader

java.lang.Object
  java.io.Reader
      net.sf.logdistiller.util.BufferingReader

All Implemented Interfaces:

Closeable, Readable

public class BufferingReader
extends Reader

A reader reading its content from another reader, but buffering the data to be able to give it back on demand. When data is given back, it is not maintained in memory any more. When using this class, take care to get data regularly, or all the data read will stay in memory, risking OutOfMemoryException !

Throws:

IOException

getDataLength

public int getDataLength()

Get the length of data available in the buffer.

Returns:

available data length

freeData

public String freeData(int count)

Get some data that have been buffered, and free corresponding space in the buffer.

Parameters:

count - the number of characters to get

Returns:

the corresponding data

Throws:

IndexOutOfBoundsException - if the amount of data asked is more than what is available in the buffer

getDataLength()

getBufferSize

public int getBufferSize()

Get the size of the buffer.

Returns:

the buffer size

shrinkBuffer

public void shrinkBuffer()

Shrink the buffer to its minimal size to store actual data. In normal use, the buffer grows as needed but never shrinks.
