Overview

Provides data to be consumed by an Extractor.

This interface provides two modes of accessing the underlying input. See the subheadings below for more info about each mode.

  • The read()/peek() and skip() methods provide java.io.InputStream-like byte-level access operations.
  • The read/skip/peekFully() and advancePeekPosition() methods assume the user wants to read an entire block/frame/header of known length.

java.io.InputStream-like methods

The read()/peek() and skip() methods provide java.io.InputStream-like byte-level access operations. The length parameter is a maximum, and each method returns the number of bytes actually processed. This may be less than length because the end of the input was reached, or the method was interrupted, or the operation was aborted early for another reason.

Block-based methods

The read/skip/peekFully() and advancePeekPosition() methods assume the user wants to read an entire block/frame/header of known length.

These methods all have a variant that takes a boolean allowEndOfInput parameter. This parameter is intended to be set to true when the caller believes the input might be fully exhausted before the call is made (i.e. they've previously read/skipped/peeked the final block/frame/header). It's not intended to allow a partial read (i.e. greater than 0 bytes, but less than length) to succeed - this will always throw an java.io.EOFException from these methods (a partial read is assumed to indicate a malformed block/frame/header - and therefore a malformed file).

The expected behaviour of the block-based methods is therefore:

  • Already at end-of-input and allowEndOfInput=false: Throw java.io.EOFException.
  • Already at end-of-input and allowEndOfInput=true: Return false.
  • Encounter end-of-input during read/skip/peek/advance: Throw java.io.EOFException (regardless of allowEndOfInput).

public voidsetRetryPosition(long position, java.lang.Throwable e)

Called when reading fails and the required retry position is different from the last position.

public intskip(int length)

Like ExtractorInput.read(byte[], int, int), except the data is skipped instead of read.

public voidskipFully(int length)

Like ExtractorInput.readFully(byte[], int, int), except the data is skipped instead of read.

public booleanskipFully(int length, boolean allowEndOfInput)

Like ExtractorInput.readFully(byte[], int, int, boolean), except the data is skipped instead of read.

Methods

public int read(byte[] buffer[], int offset, int length)

Reads up to length bytes from the input and resets the peek position.

This method blocks until at least one byte of data can be read, the end of the input is detected, or an exception is thrown.

Parameters:

buffer: A target array into which data should be written.
offset: The offset into the target array at which to write.
length: The maximum number of bytes to read from the input.

Returns:

The number of bytes read, or C.RESULT_END_OF_INPUT if the input has ended.

public boolean readFully(byte[] target[], int offset, int length, boolean allowEndOfInput)

Like ExtractorInput.read(byte[], int, int), but reads the requested length in full.

Parameters:

target: A target array into which data should be written.
offset: The offset into the target array at which to write.
length: The number of bytes to read from the input.
allowEndOfInput: True if encountering the end of the input having read no data is allowed, and should result in false being returned. False if it should be considered an error, causing an java.io.EOFException to be thrown. See note in class Javadoc.

Returns:

True if the read was successful. False if allowEndOfInput=true and the end of the input was encountered having read no data.

public void readFully(byte[] target[], int offset, int length)

Equivalent to readFully(target, offset, length, false).

Parameters:

target: A target array into which data should be written.
offset: The offset into the target array at which to write.
length: The number of bytes to read from the input.

public int skip(int length)

Like ExtractorInput.read(byte[], int, int), except the data is skipped instead of read.

Parameters:

length: The maximum number of bytes to skip from the input.

Returns:

The number of bytes skipped, or C.RESULT_END_OF_INPUT if the input has ended.

public boolean skipFully(int length, boolean allowEndOfInput)

Like ExtractorInput.readFully(byte[], int, int, boolean), except the data is skipped instead of read.

Parameters:

length: The number of bytes to skip from the input.
allowEndOfInput: True if encountering the end of the input having skipped no data is allowed, and should result in false being returned. False if it should be considered an error, causing an java.io.EOFException to be thrown. See note in class Javadoc.

Returns:

True if the skip was successful. False if allowEndOfInput=true and the end of the input was encountered having skipped no data.

public void skipFully(int length)

Like ExtractorInput.readFully(byte[], int, int), except the data is skipped instead of read.

Encountering the end of input is always considered an error, and will result in an java.io.EOFException being thrown.

Parameters:

length: The number of bytes to skip from the input.

public int peek(byte[] target[], int offset, int length)

Peeks up to length bytes from the peek position. The current read position is left unchanged.

This method blocks until at least one byte of data can be peeked, the end of the input is detected, or an exception is thrown.

Calling ExtractorInput.resetPeekPosition() resets the peek position to equal the current read position, so the caller can peek the same data again. Reading or skipping also resets the peek position.

Parameters:

target: A target array into which data should be written.
offset: The offset into the target array at which to write.
length: The maximum number of bytes to peek from the input.

Returns:

The number of bytes peeked, or C.RESULT_END_OF_INPUT if the input has ended.

public boolean peekFully(byte[] target[], int offset, int length, boolean allowEndOfInput)

Like ExtractorInput.peek(byte[], int, int), but peeks the requested length in full.

Parameters:

target: A target array into which data should be written.
offset: The offset into the target array at which to write.
length: The number of bytes to peek from the input.
allowEndOfInput: True if encountering the end of the input having peeked no data is allowed, and should result in false being returned. False if it should be considered an error, causing an java.io.EOFException to be thrown. See note in class Javadoc.

Returns:

True if the peek was successful. False if allowEndOfInput=true and the end of the input was encountered having peeked no data.

public void peekFully(byte[] target[], int offset, int length)

Equivalent to peekFully(target, offset, length, false).

Parameters:

target: A target array into which data should be written.
offset: The offset into the target array at which to write.
length: The number of bytes to peek from the input.

public boolean advancePeekPosition(int length, boolean allowEndOfInput)

Advances the peek position by length bytes. Like ExtractorInput.peekFully(byte[], int, int, boolean) except the data is skipped instead of read.

Parameters:

length: The number of bytes by which to advance the peek position.
allowEndOfInput: True if encountering the end of the input before advancing is allowed, and should result in false being returned. False if it should be considered an error, causing an java.io.EOFException to be thrown. See note in class Javadoc.

Returns:

True if advancing the peek position was successful. False if allowEndOfInput=true and the end of the input was encountered before advancing over any data.

public void advancePeekPosition(int length)

Advances the peek position by length bytes. Like ExtractorInput.peekFully(byte[], int, int) except the data is skipped instead of read.

Parameters:

length: The number of bytes to peek from the input.
