Method Summary

Modifier and Type	Method and Description
int	read(long position, byte[] buffer, int offset, int length) Read upto the specified number of bytes, from a given position within a file, and return the number of bytes read.
void	readFully(long position, byte[] buffer) Read number of bytes equal to the length of the buffer, from a given position within a file.
void	readFully(long position, byte[] buffer, int offset, int length) Read the specified number of bytes, from a given position within a file.

Method Detail

read

int read(long position,
         byte[] buffer,
         int offset,
         int length)
  throws IOException

Read upto the specified number of bytes, from a given position within a file, and return the number of bytes read. This does not change the current offset of a file, and is thread-safe.

Throws:

IOException

readFully

void readFully(long position,
               byte[] buffer,
               int offset,
               int length)
        throws IOException

Read the specified number of bytes, from a given position within a file. This does not change the current offset of a file, and is thread-safe.

Throws:

IOException

readFully

void readFully(long position,
               byte[] buffer)
        throws IOException

Read number of bytes equal to the length of the buffer, from a given position within a file. This does not change the current offset of a file, and is thread-safe.

Throws:

IOException
