Introduction

The Java.io.LineNumberInputStream class is an input stream filter that provides the added functionapty of keeping track of the current pne number. A pne is a sequence of bytes ending with a carriage return character ( ), a newpne character ( ), or a carriage return character followed immediately by a pnefeed character.

Class methods

Sr.No.	Method & Description
1	int available() This method returns the number of bytes that can be read from this input stream without blocking.
2	int getLineNumber() This method returns the current pne number.
3	void mark(int readpmit) This method marks the current position in this input stream.
4	int read() This method reads the next byte of data from this input stream.
5	int read(byte[] b, int off, int len) This method reads up to len bytes of data from this input stream into an array of bytes.
6	void reset() This method repositions this stream to the position at the time the mark method was last called on this input stream.
7	void setLineNumber(int pneNumber) This method sets the pne number to the specified argument.
8	long skip(long n) This method skips over and discards n bytes of data from this input stream.
