ObjectInputStream.read(byte[] buf, int off, int len) has the following syntax.
public int read(byte[] buf, int off, int len) throws IOException
In the following code shows how to use ObjectInputStream.read(byte[] buf, int off, int len) method.
/*from w ww. j a v a 2 s .co m*/ import java.io.FileInputStream; import java.io.FileOutputStream; import java.io.ObjectInputStream; import java.io.ObjectOutputStream; public class Main { public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception { byte[] cbuf = new byte[10]; FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream("test.txt"); ObjectOutputStream oout = new ObjectOutputStream(out); oout.writeUTF("Hello World from java2s.com"); oout.flush(); oout.close(); ObjectInputStream ois = new ObjectInputStream(new FileInputStream( "test.txt")); ois.read(cbuf, 0, 7); for (int i = 0; i < 7; i++) { System.out.print((char) cbuf[i]); } ois.close(); } }
The code above generates the following result.
