Interface EndianInput

public interface EndianInput

extends java.io.DataInput

Provides an interface that is implemented by streams that can read primitive Java data types from a stream in a machine-dependent manner.

char	readHiLoChar() Reads two bytes of a Unicode char value in high-low order from the input stream.
int	readHiLoInt() Reads four bytes of a int value in high-low order from the input stream.
long	readHiLoLong() Reads eight bytes of a long value in high-low order from the input stream.
short	readHiLoShort() Reads two bytes of a short value in high-low order from the input stream.
char	readLoHiChar() Reads two bytes of a Unicode char value in low-high order from the input stream.
int	readLoHiInt() Reads four bytes of a int value in low-high order from the input stream.
long	readLoHiLong() Reads eight bytes of a long value in low-high order from the input stream.
short	readLoHiShort() Reads two bytes of a short value in low-high order from the input stream.

Reads two bytes of a short value in low-high order from the input stream.

Returns:

The 16-bit value read.

Throws:

EOFException - If this stream reaches the end before reading all the bytes.

java.io.IOException - If an I/O error occurs.

readHiLoChar

public char readHiLoChar()
                  throws java.io.IOException
