Method Detail

read

int read(long position,
         byte[] buffer,
         int offset,
         int length)
         throws IOException
Read upto the specified number of bytes, from a given position within a file, and return the number of bytes read. This does not change the current offset of a file, and is thread-safe.

Throws:
IOException

readFully

void readFully(long position,
               byte[] buffer,
               int offset,
               int length)
               throws IOException
Read the specified number of bytes, from a given position within a file. This does not change the current offset of a file, and is thread-safe.

Throws:
IOException

readFully

void readFully(long position,
               byte[] buffer)
               throws IOException
Read number of bytes equalt to the length of the buffer, from a given position within a file. This does not change the current offset of a file, and is thread-safe.

Throws:
IOException
