* The base class for all input streams. An input stream is a means of reading

* Some input streams also support marking a position in the input stream and
* returning to this position later. This abstract class does not provide a
* fully working implementation, so it needs to be subclassed, and at least the
* {@link #read()} method needs to be overridden. Overriding some of the
* non-abstract methods is also often advised, since it might result in higher
* efficiency.
* <p>
* Many specialized input streams for purposes like reading from a file already
* exist in this package.

/**
* Returns an estimated number of bytes that can be read or skipped without blocking for more
* input.
*
* <p>Note that this method provides such a weak guarantee that it is not very useful in
* practice.
*
* <p>Firstly, the guarantee is "without blocking for more input" rather than "without
* blocking": a read may still block waiting for I/O to complete&nbsp;&mdash; the guarantee is
* merely that it won't have to wait indefinitely for data to be written. The result of this
* method should not be used as a license to do I/O on a thread that shouldn't be blocked.
*
* <p>Secondly, the result is a
* conservative estimate and may be significantly smaller than the actual number of bytes
* available. In particular, an implementation that always returns 0 would be correct.
* In general, callers should only use this method if they'd be satisfied with
* treating the result as a boolean yes or no answer to the question "is there definitely
* data ready?".
*
* <p>Thirdly, the fact that a given number of bytes is "available" does not guarantee that a
* read or skip will actually read or skip that many bytes: they may read or skip fewer.
*
* <p>It is particularly important to realize that you <i>must not</i> use this method to
* size a container and assume that you can read the entirety of the stream without needing
* to resize the container. Such callers should probably write everything they read to a
* {@link ByteArrayOutputStream} and convert that to a byte array. Alternatively, if you're
* reading from a file, {@link File#length} returns the current length of the file (though
* assuming the file's length can't change may be incorrect, reading a file is inherently
* racy).
*
* <p>The default implementation of this method in {@code InputStream} always returns 0.
* Subclasses should override this method if they are able to indicate the number of bytes
* available.
