InputStream.read

Reads the next byte of data from the input stream. The value byte is returned as an <code>int</code> in the range <code>0</code> to <code>255</code>. If no byte is available because the end of the stream has been reached, the value <code>-1</code> is returned. This method blocks until input data is available, the end of the stream is detected, or an exception is thrown.

<p> A subclass must provide an implementation of this method.

@return the next byte of data, or <code>-1</code> if the end of the stream is reached. @exception IOException if an I/O error occurs.
