Public methods
    close
    
void close ()
    
    
    
  Closes the stream and releases any system resources associated with
 it. Once the stream has been closed, further read(),
 unread(), ready(), or skip() invocations will throw an IOException.
 Closing a previously closed stream has no effect.
      
  
 
    mark
    
void mark (int readAheadLimit)
    
    
    
  Marks the present position in the stream. The mark
 for class PushbackReader always throws an exception.
    
    | Parameters | 
      
        readAheadLimit | 
        
          int:
          Limit on the number of characters that may be
                         read while still preserving the mark.  After
                         reading this many characters, attempting to
                         reset the stream may fail. | 
      
    
      
  
 
    markSupported
    
boolean markSupported ()
    
    
    
  Tells whether this stream supports the mark() operation, which it does
 not.
    
      | Returns | 
      
        boolean | 
        true if and only if this stream supports the mark operation.
 | 
      
    
 
    read
    
int read ()
    
    
    
  Reads a single character.
    
      | Returns | 
      
        int | 
        The character read, or -1 if the end of the stream has been
             reached | 
      
    
      
  
 
    read
    
int read (char[] cbuf, 
                int off, 
                int len)
    
    
    
  Reads characters into a portion of an array.
    
    | Parameters | 
      
        cbuf | 
        
          char:
          Destination buffer | 
      
      
        off | 
        
          int:
          Offset at which to start writing characters | 
      
      
        len | 
        
          int:
          Maximum number of characters to read | 
      
    
    
      | Returns | 
      
        int | 
        The number of characters read, or -1 if the end of the
             stream has been reached | 
      
    
      
  
 
    ready
    
boolean ready ()
    
    
    
  Tells whether this stream is ready to be read.
    
      | Returns | 
      
        boolean | 
        True if the next read() is guaranteed not to block for input,
 false otherwise.  Note that returning false does not guarantee that the
 next read will block. | 
      
    
      
  
 
    reset
    
void reset ()
    
    
    
  Resets the stream. The reset method of
 PushbackReader always throws an exception.
      
      | Throws | 
        
          IOException | 
          Always, since reset is not supported
 | 
        
      
  
 
    skip
    
long skip (long n)
    
    
    
  Skips characters.  This method will block until some characters are
 available, an I/O error occurs, or the end of the stream is reached.
    
    | Parameters | 
      
        n | 
        
          long:
          The number of characters to skip | 
      
    
    
      | Returns | 
      
        long | 
        The number of characters actually skipped |

                int off, 
                int len)
    
    
    
  Pushes back a portion of an array of characters by copying it to the
 front of the pushback buffer.  After this method returns, the next
 character to be read will have the value cbuf[off], the
 character after that will have the value cbuf[off+1], and
 so forth.
    
    | Parameters | 
      
        cbuf | 
        
          char:

      | Throws | 
        
          IOException | 
          If there is insufficient room in the pushback
                          buffer, or if some other I/O error occurs
 | 
        
      
  
 
    unread
    
void unread (char[] cbuf)
    
    
    
  Pushes back an array of characters by copying it to the front of the
 pushback buffer.  After this method returns, the next character to be
 read will have the value cbuf[0], the character after that
 will have the value cbuf[1], and so forth.
    
    | Parameters | 
      
        cbuf | 
        
          char:
          Character array to push back | 
      
    
      
      | Throws | 
        
          IOException | 
          If there is insufficient room in the pushback
                          buffer, or if some other I/O error occurs
 | 
        
      
  
 
    unread
    
void unread (int c)
    
    
    
  Pushes back a single character by copying it to the front of the

    | Parameters | 
      
        c | 
        
          int:
          The int value representing a character to be pushed back | 
      
    
      
      | Throws | 
        
          IOException | 
          If the pushback buffer is full,
                          or if some other I/O error occurs
