Class FilterInputStream

java.lang.Object

java.io.FilterInputStream

public static class FilterInputStream
extends Object

Wraps an existing InputStream and performs some transformation on the input data while it is being read. Transformations can be anything from a simple byte-wise filtering input data to an on-the-fly compression or decompression of the underlying stream. Input streams that wrap another input stream and provide some additional functionality on top of it usually inherit from this class.
