      • read

        T read()

        the next object or null to signal that the stream is exhausted
        Throws:
        IOException - if there is an error during reading

                           UnsupportedOperationException
        Repositions the stream at the beginning and the previously seen object sequence will be repeated exactly. This method can be used to re-read the stream if multiple passes over the objects are required. The implementation of this method is optional.
        Throws:
        IOException - if there is an error during reseting the stream
        UnsupportedOperationException
      • close
