Class FilterReader

public abstract class FilterReader extends Reader

This is the common superclass of all standard classes that filter input. It acts as a layer on top of an underlying Reader and simply redirects calls made to it to the subordinate Reader instead. Subclasses of this class perform additional filtering functions in addition to simply redirecting the call.

When creating a subclass of FilterReader, override the appropriate methods to implement the desired filtering. However, note that the read(char[]) method does not need to be overridden as this class redirects calls to that method to read(yte[], int, int) instead of to the subordinate Reader} read(yte[]) method.
