TailFilter

public TailFilter(java.io.Reader in)

Creates a new filtered reader.

Parameters:

in - A Reader object providing the underlying stream. Must not be null.

Method Detail

read

public final int read()
               throws java.io.IOException

Returns the next character in the filtered stream. If the read-ahead has been completed, the next character in the buffer is returned. Otherwise, the stream is read to the end and buffered (with the buffer growing as necessary), then the appropriate position in the buffer is set to read from.

Overrides:

read in class java.io.FilterReader

Returns:

the next character in the resulting stream, or -1 if the end of the resulting stream has been reached

Throws:

java.io.IOException - if the underlying stream throws an IOException during reading

setLines

public final void setLines(long lines)

Sets the number of lines to be returned in the filtered stream.

Parameters:

lines - the number of lines to be returned in the filtered stream

setSkip

public final void setSkip(long skip)

Sets the number of lines to be skipped in the filtered stream.

Parameters:

skip - the number of lines to be skipped in the filtered stream

chain

public final java.io.Reader chain(java.io.Reader rdr)

Creates a new TailFilter using the passed in Reader for instantiation.

Specified by:

chain in interface ChainableReader

Parameters:

rdr - A Reader object providing the underlying stream. Must not be null.

Returns:

a new filter based on this configuration, but filtering the specified reader
