Return	Method	Summary
int	available()	Returns an estimate of the number of remaining bytes that can be read (or skipped over) from this input stream without blocking by the next invocation of a method for this input stream.
void	close()	Closes this file input stream and releases any system resources associated with the stream.
FileChannel	getChannel()	Returns the unique FileChannel object associated with this file input stream.
FileDescriptor	getFD()	Returns the FileDescriptor object that represents the connection to the actual file in the file system being used by this FileInputStream.
int	read()	Reads a byte of data from this input stream.
int	read(byte[] b)	Reads up to b.length bytes of data from this input stream into an array of bytes.
int	read(byte[] b, int off, int len)	Reads up to len bytes of data from this input stream into an array of bytes.
