LineNumberInputStream (Java Platform SE 7 ) (original) (raw)


Deprecated.
This class incorrectly assumes that bytes adequately represent characters. As of JDK 1.1, the preferred way to operate on character streams is via the new character-stream classes, which include a class for counting line numbers.

@Deprecated
public class LineNumberInputStream
extends FilterInputStream
This class is an input stream filter that provides the added functionality of keeping track of the current line number.
A line is a sequence of bytes ending with a carriage return character ('\r'), a newline character ('\n'), or a carriage return character followed immediately by a linefeed character. In all three cases, the line terminating character(s) are returned as a single newline character.
The line number begins at 0, and is incremented by1 when a read returns a newline character.
Since:
JDK1.0
