A transparent stream that updates the associated message digest using the bits going through the stream.
To complete the message digest computation, call one of the
 digest methods on the associated message
 digest after your calls to one of this digest input stream's
 read methods.
 
It is possible to turn this stream on or off (see
 on). When it is on, a call to one of the
 read methods
 results in an update on the message digest.  But when it is off,
 the message digest is not updated. The default is for the stream
 to be on.
 
Note that digest objects can compute only one digest (see
 MessageDigest),
 so that in order to compute intermediate digests, a caller should
 retain a handle onto the digest object, and clone it for each
 digest to be computed, leaving the original digest untouched.

Public constructors
DigestInputStream
public DigestInputStream (InputStream stream, MessageDigest digest)
Creates a digest input stream, using the specified input stream and message digest.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
stream | 
        
          InputStream: the input stream. | 
      
digest | 
        
          MessageDigest: the message digest to associate with this stream. | 
      
Public methods
getMessageDigest
public MessageDigest getMessageDigest ()
Returns the message digest associated with this stream.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
MessageDigest | 
        the message digest associated with this stream. | 
on
public void on (boolean on)
Turns the digest function on or off. The default is on.  When
 it is on, a call to one of the read methods results in an
 update on the message digest.  But when it is off, the message
 digest is not updated.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
on | 
        
          boolean: true to turn the digest function on, false to turn
 it off. | 
      
read
public int read ()
Reads a byte, and updates the message digest (if the digest
 function is on).  That is, this method reads a byte from the
 input stream, blocking until the byte is actually read. If the
 digest function is on (see on), this method
 will then call update on the message digest associated
 with this stream, passing it the byte read.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
int | 
        the byte read. | 
| Throws | |
|---|---|
IOException | 
          if an I/O error occurs. |

read
public int read (byte[] b, 
                int off, 
                int len)Reads into a byte array, and updates the message digest (if the
 digest function is on).  That is, this method reads up to
 len bytes from the input stream into the array
 b, starting at offset off. This method
 blocks until the data is actually
 read. If the digest function is on (see
 on), this method will then call update
 on the message digest associated with this stream, passing it
 the data.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
b | 
        
          byte: the array into which the data is read. | 
      
off | 
        
          int: the starting offset into b of where the
 data should be placed. | 
      
len | 
        
          int: the maximum number of bytes to be read from the input
 stream into b, starting at offset off. | 
      
| Returns | |
|---|---|
int | 
        the actual number of bytes read. This is less than
 len if the end of the stream is reached prior to
 reading len bytes. -1 is returned if no bytes were
 read because the end of the stream had already been reached when
 the call was made. | 
      
| Throws | |
|---|---|
IOException | 
          if an I/O error occurs. |

setMessageDigest
public void setMessageDigest (MessageDigest digest)
Associates the specified message digest with this stream.
| Parameters | |
|---|---|
digest | 
        
          MessageDigest: the message digest to be associated with this stream. |

toString
public String toString ()
Prints a string representation of this digest input stream and its associated message digest object.
| Returns | |
|---|---|
String | 
        a string representation of the object. |
