public long skip( long n ) throws IOException
Parameters
- n
- the number of bytes to be skipped.
Returns
the actual number of bytes skipped.
Description
Skips over and discards n bytes of data from the
input stream. The skip method may, for a variety of
reasons, end up skipping over some smaller number of bytes,
possibly 0. The actual number of bytes skipped is
returned.
The skip method of FilterInputStream
calls the skip method of its underlying input stream
with the same argument, and returns whatever value that method does.
Exceptions
IOException
if an I/O error occurs.
