  - ### Method Detail

    - #### read

          public int read()
                   throws IOException

      Reads a byte of uncompressed data. This method will block until enough input is available for decompression.
      Overrides:
        `read` in class `FilterInputStream`
      Returns:
        the byte read, or -1 if end of compressed input is reached
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred
      See Also:
        `FilterInputStream.in`

    - #### read

          public int read(byte[] b,
                          int off,
                          int len)
                   throws IOException

      Reads uncompressed data into an array of bytes. If `len` is not zero, the method will block until some input can be decompressed; otherwise, no bytes are read and `0` is returned.
      Overrides:
        `read` in class `FilterInputStream`
      Parameters:
        `b` - the buffer into which the data is read
        `off` - the start offset in the destination array `b`
        `len` - the maximum number of bytes read
      Returns:
        the actual number of bytes read, or -1 if the end of the compressed input is reached or a preset dictionary is needed
      Throws:
        `NullPointerException` - If `b` is `null`.
        `IndexOutOfBoundsException` - If `off` is negative, `len` is negative, or `len` is greater than `b.length - off`
        `ZipException` - if a ZIP format error has occurred
        `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred
      See Also:
        `FilterInputStream.in`

    - #### available

          public int available()
                        throws IOException

      Returns 0 after EOF has been reached, otherwise always return 1.

      Programs should not count on this method to return the actual number of bytes that could be read without blocking.

      Overrides:
        `available` in class `FilterInputStream`
      Returns:
        1 before EOF and 0 after EOF.
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error occurs.

    - #### skip

          public long skip(long n)
                    throws IOException

      Skips specified number of bytes of uncompressed data.
      Overrides:
        `skip` in class `FilterInputStream`
      Parameters:
        `n` - the number of bytes to skip
      Returns:
        the actual number of bytes skipped.
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if `n < 0`

    - #### close

          public void close()
                     throws IOException

      Closes this input stream and releases any system resources associated with the stream.
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `Closeable`
      Specified by:
        `close` in interface `AutoCloseable`
      Overrides:
        `close` in class `FilterInputStream`
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred
      See Also:
        `FilterInputStream.in`

    - #### fill

          protected void fill()
                       throws IOException

      Fills input buffer with more data to decompress.
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if an I/O error has occurred

    - #### markSupported

          public boolean markSupported()

      Tests if this input stream supports the `mark` and `reset` methods. The `markSupported` method of `InflaterInputStream` returns `false`.
      Overrides:
        `markSupported` in class `FilterInputStream`
      Returns:
        a `boolean` indicating if this stream type supports the `mark` and `reset` methods.
      See Also:
        `InputStream.mark(int)`, `InputStream.reset()`

    - #### mark

          public void mark(int readlimit)

      Marks the current position in this input stream.

      The `mark` method of `InflaterInputStream` does nothing.

      Overrides:
        `mark` in class `FilterInputStream`
      Parameters:
        `readlimit` - the maximum limit of bytes that can be read before the mark position becomes invalid.
      See Also:
        `InputStream.reset()`

    - #### reset

          public void reset()
                     throws IOException

      Repositions this stream to the position at the time the `mark` method was last called on this input stream.

      The method `reset` for class `InflaterInputStream` does nothing except throw an `IOException`.

      Overrides:
        `reset` in class `FilterInputStream`
      Throws:
        `IOException` - if this method is invoked.
      See Also:
        `InputStream.mark(int)`, `IOException`
