ByteArrayInputStream method available()?
Let's look into Sun's ByteArrayInputStream method available:
/**
* Returns the number of bytes that can be read from this input
* stream without blocking.
* The value returned is
* <code>count - pos</code>,
* which is the number of bytes remaining to be read from the input buffer.
*
* @return the number of bytes that can be read from the input stream
* without blocking.
*/
publicsynchronizedint available(){
return count - pos;
}
What do they mean in sentence "can be read from this input
stream without blocking." ?
What blocking?
