Makes an attempt to skip over
{@code n} bytes
of data from the input
stream, discarding the skipped bytes. However,
it may skip
over some smaller number of
bytes, possibly zero. This may result from
any of a
number of conditions; reaching
end of file before {@code n} bytes
have been skipped is
only one possibility.
This method never throws an {@code EOFException}.
The actual
number of bytes skipped is returned.
@param n the number of bytes to be skipped.
@return the number of bytes actually skipped.
@exception IOException if an I/O error occurs.
