Reads two input bytes and returns
a {@code short} value. Let {@code a}
be the first byte read and {@code b}
be the second byte. The value
returned
is:
<pre>{@code (short)((a << 8) | (b & 0xff))
}</pre>
This method
is suitable for reading the bytes written
by the {@code writeShort} method of
interface {@code DataOutput}.
@return the 16-bit value read.
@exception EOFException if this stream reaches the end before reading
all the bytes.
@exception IOException if an I/O error occurs.
