What is the FileInputStream class?

Rating:

The FileInputStream class is used to perform simple file input operations. It is used to read binary data from a file. It reads data in a sequential manner but can skip a region of data as per the requirement. The FileInputStream class can be instantiated by using any of the following three constructors:

• FileInputStream(String name)
  This constructor will initialize a FileInputStream to read from the specified named file.


• FileInputStream(File file)
  This constructor will initialize a FileInputStream to read from the specified File object.


• FileInputStream(FileDescriptor fdObject)
  This constructor will initialize a FileInputStream to read from the specified FileDescriptor object.
