Syntax 1
public synchronized int read() throws IOException
Returns
the next byte of data, or -1 if the end of the stream is reached.

IOException if the pipe is broken.
Overrides

Parameters
b

Returns
the total number of bytes read into the buffer, or -1 if there is no more data because the end of the stream has been reached.
